Abstract

The verb "relax" comes from a Latin word relaxare, meaning "to loosen". Today, the word "relaxed" is used to refer either to lex muscles or to peaceful thought. Many people practiced relaxation procedures from ancient to modern era. Thus, a number of relaxation techniques and theories were derived. In this review article, five major relaxation techniques (Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training, Autogenic Training, Breathing Exercise, Meditation, and Behavioral Relaxation Training), relaxation theories, and relaxation states were explored. These are to stimulate further research and to aid in the development of more effective relaxation techniques. Finally, the summary and future directions of the article were discussed.
