Relaxation くつろぎ

"Scientists are coming to recognise the effects of the mind on physical health. The sense of relaxation associated with inner peace involves not only being mentally (I/O physically) at ease. If you are nagged by worry or seething with anger, you’re not really relaxed. The key to relaxation is peace of mind. The relaxation gained from alcohol, drugs or just listening to music may seem attractive, but it doesn’t last." (From His Holiness the Dalai Lama's facebook on December 3, 2013)

科学者は、身体の健康に及ぼす心の影響を認識しつつあります。内面の平和からくるくつろぎ感は精神的に安楽になるだけではないのです。もし、あなたが心配に悩まされたり怒りに煮えくり返っているなら、真にくつろぐことはありません。くつろぎの鍵は心の平和です。アルコールや薬物や単に音楽を聴くことから得たくつろぎは魅力的かもしれませんが、持続しません。(超訳)

That's because calm mind is good for our immune system and sensory satisfaction is an addiction or attachment which can be easily transformed to anger.(My commentary)
Cf. http://www.slideshare.net/compassion5151/calm-mind-english

それは、穏やかな心は私たちの免疫システムを活性化し、感覚的満足は簡単に怒りに変容し得る依存症、又は執着であるからです。(解説)
