The immune system listens to the nervous system—and the nervous system listens to meaning, safety, and perspective.
Subcomponents of Stillness and Immune Health
Music and emotional regulation
Music can lower stress responses and influence biomarkers related to immune regulation.
Prayer and reflection
Prayer and meditation are associated with reduced stress load and improved emotional regulation—conditions that support immune resilience.
Stillness as recovery
Constant stimulation keeps the body in alert mode. Stillness allows downshifting and repair.
Stewardship mindset
These practices are not replacements for medicine. They support the internal environment where healing and resilience are optimized.
Practical direction: Build intentional pauses into daily routines. Treat stillness as health stewardship.
