What is relaxation?

Generally relaxation stands for a release of tension, a return to equilibrium. A relaxation technique is any method, process, or activity that helps a person to relax, to reduce levels of stress, or to attain a state of increased calmness. Relaxation techniques help to regulate the nervous system. Among many other benefits it helps to decrease muscle tension at the fysical level.
