Abstract
This study examined the effects of the awareness of chronic muscular tension on experiencing the mind-body using Self-image questionnair, Y-G Test, Rorschach Test, Twenty-two-Statements Test (TST), and muscular relaxation responses. Sixty-five undergraduate students participated in this study. Based on the evaluation of existing or not existing chronic muscular tension, and of being or not being aware of the tension, they were assigned to three groups : 'awareness group', 'no awareness group', and 'no tension group'. Results of Self-image questionnair, Y-G Test, and Rorschach Test revealed the 'no tension group' being superior to the other groups for self estimation, emotional control and stress management. The 'awareness group' showed more bodily complaints in TST and higher barrier scores in Rorschach Test than the other groups. Through muscular relaxation both the 'awareness group' and the 'no tension group' revealed positive changes in mind-body experiences, whereas the 'no awareness group' experienced negative changes in mind-body. These results were discussed in terms of the relation between bodily awareness and mind-body experiences.
