Relaxing: The brain-heart connection is well known. By engaging in relaxing activities, we reduce the fight flight hormones and encourage relaxation. This relaxation results in dilation of the system's blood vessels which reduce the blood-pressure. Studies have shown that heart rate and blood pressure can be altered based on certain neuro stimulation such as music or visual stimuli.
