It tilts the seesaw: The anxiety stress response involves the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Its a see-saw, one cannot be relaxed and anxious at the same time. So techniques to reduce anxiety, zen, mediation, deep breathing reduced the bodys physiologcal stress response, giving it a break from harmful chronic stress. It is also a skill that restores a sense of self-control. Good stuff!
