I wish I could have met him when I lived out on the East Coast. We were practically neighbors when I was working at Drumlin Farm. Now, I get to know him through one of his books, and, maybe I can leave a trail for others to follow. From his Institute's website (https://bensonhenryinstitute.org/the-passing-of-herbert-benson-md/ ): "...Dr. Benson explained two basic steps to elicit the relaxation response: 1) the repetition of a sound, word, phrase, prayer, or movement, and 2) the passive setting aside of intruding thoughts and with a return to repetition. These 2 steps break the train of everyday thinking.

He also found that a person could bring about the relaxation response using any number of meditative techniques, such as repetitive prayer, qigong, tai chi, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, belly breathing, even activities like knitting.

In 1979, Dr. Benson met the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, during a visit to Harvard University. The two forged a decades-long friendship, which led to several expeditions to northern India where many Tibetan monks live in exile. During visits to remote monasteries in the 1980s, Benson and his team were among the first researchers allowed to study the ancient meditative traditions of monks living in the Himalayan Mountains...."
