Benson’s relaxation technique accelerates a comfortable and relaxed condition. As a result, the secretion of catecholamine and cortisol hormones inhibits the production of endorphins, enkephalins, and serotonin increases, the stimulation of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) decreases, then the secretion of the hormone melatonin increases when the brain is relaxed, and the Bulbar Synchronizing Regional (BSR) is active, causing a person to fall asleep.
