Do relaxing activities cause the relaxation response?

Being relaxed and eliciting the relaxation response are not the same unless being relaxed includes both a focus upon a repetitive stimulus and a passive attitude. The relaxation response is not obtained by reading a book, listening to quiet music, sleeping or "taking it easy." Though these activities may be relaxing to you, they do not bring about the beneficial physiologic changes of the relaxation response.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
