Relaxation is the only meaningful contradiction to stress.

The Dharmadhatu Institute approach to the human experience of stress is based on a simple fact: the only real and effective solution to stress, in whatever form it takes, is relaxation. Relaxation is the only way to undo the effects and mechanisms of stress within the body and mind.

History
