Autogenic Therapy

Developed by Johannes Schultz, autogenic therapy is a simple and drug free way to change your life for the better. By practicing your treatments constantly during the day, you will be reinforcing the relaxation training that you have learned. But it requires that you are aware of your body and able to listen to subtle cues that the body gives to you. However, even if you're not proficient at this part of the training at first, you will become familiar with it as you progress through the relaxation techniques.

What you can do is see an autogenic therapy specialist to help you begin the process. They will guide you through a series of instructions that are geared toward helping you connect your body with your thoughts. You might be asked to think of certain feelings for certain parts of your body and then to stop feeling those feelings. This process is establishing the idea that you do have control over the way your body feels - and this is particularly useful when you are under stress.

Many patients will see a sort of healing occur when they use autogenic therapy. When they realize that they can simply shift their thoughts to create a new reality, this will help them apply this practice to other parts of their life. For example, those that are sick or feel sick can often stop the illness by changing the way they think about it.

Most people can try autogenic therapy without any problems as it doesn't require any physical movement to practice. But for some medical conditions, it may be necessary for you to talk with your doctor first to make sure you are a good candidate for this relaxation training.
