Autogenic Relaxation | 28 mins.

December 13, 2020 By Laurent Roure

Autogenic training (AT) is a deep relaxation technique created by German psychiatrist Johannes Schultz in 1932. Schultz was a pioneer in this field. He led clinical trials and research on how the mind can be used to induce relaxation.

During a standard AT session, the listener self-suggests series of relaxing sensations, feelings, and observations throughout the entire body. This process induces a profound state of physical relaxation, resulting in a calm and steady mind.

There are multiple proven benefits of AT. Here are some of them:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety.
  • Reduces stress-related symptoms – insomnia, fatigue, chronic pain etc.
  • Helps people overcome addictions and nervous habits.
  • Reduces blood pressure and regulates heart rate.
  • Mitigate muscle tension and migraines.
  • Facilitates recovery from surgery or serious illnesses.
  • Helps practitioners reconnect to their body.

To enjoy this practice, we need to find a quiet and warm place to lie down or to sit. We must make sure that nothing will disturb us, remove accessories and wear loose comfortable clothes.
