清醒的低代谢状态可能是由简单的、非修行的心理技巧或传统的冥想练习引起的。低代谢状态似乎代表了下丘脑的综合反应(“松弛反应”)，这与交感神经系统活动减少的状态是一致的。一项前瞻性研究旨在测试定期激发松弛反应是否可以降低接受持续降压治疗的高血压患者的血压。14人接受了调查。在5.6周的控制期内，血压每天没有明显变化，平均收缩压为145.6毫米汞柱，舒张压为91毫米汞柱。在20周的实验期间，收缩压降至135.0毫米汞柱(P<；0.01)，舒张压降至87.0毫米汞柱(P<；0.05)。因此，有规律地激发松弛反应可能对已经在接受药物治疗的高血压患者的管理有用。放松反应的使用可能会影响高血压治疗的经济性，因为它是免费进行的，除了时间。
A wakeful hypometabolic state may be induced by simple, non-cultic mental techniques or by traditional meditational practices. The hypometabolic state seems to represent an integrated hypothalamic response ("relaxation response") which is consistent with a state of decreased sympathetic-nervous-system activity. A prospective investigation was designed to test whether regular elicitation of the relaxation response might lower blood-pressures in hypertensive patients who were maintained on constant antihypertensive therapy. Fourteen people were investigated. During the control period of 5.6 weeks, blood-pressures did not change significantly from day to day and averaged 145.6 mm.Hg systolic and 91.9 mm.Hg diastolic. During the experimental period of 20 weeks, systolic blood-pressures decreased to 135.0 mm.Hg (P < 0.01) and diastolic blood-pressures fell to 87.0 mm.Hg (P < 0.05). The regular elicitation of the relaxation response may, therefore, have usefulness in the management of hypertensive subjects who are already on drug therapy. The use of the relaxation response may influence the economics of the therapy of hypertension since it is practised at no cost other than time.
