Methods: First, Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique was applied on 5 normal subjects for three weeks. Then HRV was examined for 15 minutes Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique application. Next, Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique each 8 times was applied on 5 normal subjects for 1 weeks. Then :HRV was examined each 5 minutes before and after Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique application.
Results: 1. SDNN, SDSD increased continuously in HRV for three weeks Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique application. 2. Mean HRV, SDNN, SDSD were significant different in HRV between before and after Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique application at fourth week.
Conclusion: The results suggest that Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique application have shown anti-stress effects and the more Benson¡¯s Relaxation Technique is repeated, the more effective.
