Relaxation Response as a physical state of deep relaxation which engages the other part of our nervous system—the parasympathetic nervous system. The regular use of the Relaxation Response can help any health problem that is caused or exacerbated by chronic stress such as fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal ailments, insomnia, hypertension, anxiety disorders, and others.

We all have a need for arousal at some level and being aroused is a pleasurable state that plays to basic needs for stimulation. Even negative states such as fear and anger have their benefits. Angry people report feeling all-powerful, perhaps harking back to neonatal states of infantile omnipotence. Fearful people also may access early memories of being subsequently comforted. Fear is also a common factor in many hobbies, especially extreme sports, where people do things deliberately to become aroused, from skiing to watching horror movies.
