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.
