Not sure if I’m asking in the right community but I’m wondering if there is a point on the human body that if you relax it causes the entire rest of the body to relax?

    The medulla oblongata. If you relax that, every other structure in your body relaxes as well. At least until rigor mortis sets in, anyway, because you’ll be dead.

    You don’t really want your entire body to relax. The heart needs to keep pumping, of course, and the diaphragm moving for respiration. And the intestines need to keep doing their digestion.
