Can stimulate gene expression in the brain that are involved in reducing physical and psychological stress and boosting immune functioning.

Quick summary

Mark connects Silva International's methods to Harvard's genetic research, finding that relaxation and guided imagery techniques can stimulate beneficial gene expression. The practices show promise for reducing stress and strengthening immune function at a cellular level.

Based on the newest findings from Harvard's recent genetic study on the effects of relaxation, breathing awareness, and positive guided imagery, I feel confident that many of the methods, as taught by Silva International, can stimulate gene expression in the brain that are involved in reducing physical and psychological stress and boosting immune functioning. Mark further reports that researchers are noticing that the placebo effect is getting stronger; although the news media is giving this little attention
