HEALING WITH AUTOGENIC TRAINING
Autogenic training (AT) is a technique that teaches your body to respond to your verbal commands. These commands "tell" your body to relax and help control breathing, blood pressure, heartbeat, and body temperature. The goal of AT is to achieve deep relaxation and reduce stress. After you learn the technique, you can use it whenever you need or want relief from symptoms of stress, or you can practice it regularly to enjoy the benefits of deep relaxation and prevent the effects of chronic stress.
The technique was first published in 1932. Studying the self-reports of people immersed in a hypnotic state, J.H. Schultz noted that physiological changes are accompanied by certain feelings.
Autogenic training consists of six standard exercises that make the body feel warm, heavy, and relaxed. For each exercise, you get into a simple posture, concentrate without any goal, and then use visual imagination and verbal cues to relax your body in some specific way.
You learn each exercise by reading about it then practicing it for a few minutes several times a day. Learning the exercises, on your own, usually moves at a slow, steady pace, taking 4 to 6 months to master all exercises.
Without regular practice, autogenic training is not likely to have an effect. For this reason, only those people who are motivated and committed to learning it are likely to get any benefit from AT. But for those who master the technique, it works, and it can be an effective treatment for chronic stress.
The exercises allow communication between the mind and the body, allowing you to influence body reactions that cannot normally be controlled, such as blood pressure, heartbeat, and body temperature.
*EXERCISE*
1- Lie down with arms stretched out besides your body, palm touching the bed. Take a few deep breaths and say to yourself, "I am completely relaxed." Then, if your are right handed, say to yourself," My right arm is comfortably heavy" six times.
2- Then repeat "I am totally relaxed" and follow another six episodes of: " My right Arm is comfortably heavy".
3- Then say I am totally refreshed, relaxed and good spirits. For the next 15 mintues avoid diving a car or bike. You may feel drowsy too. If you feel uncomfortable then discoutinue the exercise.
Practice this for a week. Then from second week add next step.
1- Repeat the same step .
"My right hand is comfortably heavy" (6 times)
"I am totally relaxed" ( one time)
Repeat this thrice and then change the heaviness into warmness.
"My right lower arm is comfortably warm" ( 6 times)
"I am totally relaxed" ( one time)
2- When you succeed in making your hand warm, move to the left hand, then right foot, then left foot. When you finally reach your head, change the heaviness into lightness, since having a heavy head feels uncomfortable.
3- In next level you have to cover all body part, initiation of cardiac activity using the formula "My heartbeat is calm and regular". Passive concentration on the respiratory mechanism with the formula "It breathes me" then on solar plexus area, "My solar plexus is streaming with energy". When you reach your head say, "My head is soothingly cool".
4- When a new exercise step is added in autogenic training, the trainee should always concentrate initially on the already learned exercises and then add a new exercise. In the beginning, a new exercise is added for only brief periods.
