Most mindfulness techniques have been around in one form or another for centuries.  Progressive Muscle Relaxation is the exception to this rule.  It was developed by modern psychologists to induce the deeply relaxed state that has been shown to undue the negative effects of stress on our bodies and minds.  This basic relaxation exercise has also been scientifically proven to effectively reduce anxiety and is used in modern clinical settings to treat a variety of conditions ranging from chronic pain to heart disease.  It is also a great natural treatment for insomnia, and many people find it to be an effective method for falling asleep.
