Method: 14 participants (37.85 mean age) with stress, anxiety and/or depression, randomly assigned to intervention (N=7) and waiting list control groups (N=7). Procediment involved ten 30 minuts sessions of training. Mesures: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Brief Symptom Checklist; and the register of alpha wave amplitude and heart rate in three phases (Basal, Reactivity and Recovery) in the pre and post-test. Results: A reduction of anxiety, depression and psychosomatic symptoms after training. Alpha wave amplitude increased and heart rate decreased in reactivity and recovery phases after training. Conclusions: The training produces a reduction of the clinical variables and a positive effect on reactivity and recovery from stress.
