In modern society, while the big changes of lifestyle, caused by the remarkable economic growth, have brought about the decrease of physical activity and the reduction of physical fitness, mental fatigue, due to the mechanization of labor and the complication of human relationships, has seriously increased stress. Stress has bad influences on life. When it is prolonged and accumulated in mind and body, stress level will rise and various symptoms will be produced, which often lead to serious diseases. In our last research, we verified the effectiveness of relaxation training mainly in breathing and muscular relaxation, and discovered that this training reduced stress and recovered the health of mind and body. In the present research, in order to heighten relaxation, we carried out relaxation training which utilized music for therapy and tried to verify its effectiveness by examining heartbeat, axillary temperature and electroencephalographic biofeedback. The biofeedback procedure is widely used in psychosomatic medicine and physical rehabilitation. It is a technique which controls psychophysiological conditions such as relaxation. We think that it is effective in promoting the autoregulation of this condition. We infer that the relaxation based on this technique brings about the lowering of stress level and contributes to the improvement of a person's disposition.
