What is Autogenic Training?

Autogenic training is a relaxation technique developed at the beginning of the last century by Prof. J. H. Schultz. It grew out of his many years of experience as a neurologist and hypnotherapist.

In essence, autogenic training can also be described as self-hypnosis.

It is a relaxation technique that lets you move, step by step, from physical relaxation into mental relaxation by repeating simple body formulas to yourself. A wonderful feeling of deep calm and inner composure spreads through you.

Many people today feel flooded with stimuli and under constant pressure to perform, which leaves them in a state of permanent tension. This shows itself in numerous physical and emotional symptoms. Since our health depends on a balance between tension and relaxation, some of us first have to learn again how to truly allow relaxation to happen.

Once you have learned this method, long recognised by doctors as well, and practise it regularly, your inner balance returns. You learn to sense yourself again and feel calmer, looser and more composed.

Children and young people can learn this method easily too.

With autogenic training you have a way to get through your day free of negative stress and to enjoy your life in a relaxed way.

„Anyone who practises autogenic training forgets how to be annoyed.“
