Abstract:
Relaxation is a procedure which provides calmness to the body, confidence to the heart and clarity to the mind. Relaxation is much more than resting. Relaxation brings about a state in which we feel tranquility and peacefullness, in which our emotions are tamed and our thoughts are appeased. If we relax, our entire body relaxes. Our muscles loosen up and rest, our aches and rigidity disappear. And from this state of well-being, our mind is lucid and open to confront life and to develop its maximum potential. Relaxation is not just a procedure to free us from stress and tension. It is a positive, multidimensional skill which we should learn from our infancy as a necessary resource to live and develop fully.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open.
