AUTOGENIC THERAPY - what is it? Often referred to as "AT," Autogenic (meaning - "generated from within") Therapy is whereby persons develop skills to utilize their own abilities for self-healing and personal growth. Using a series of basic exercises that form a link between mind and body, Autogenic therapy creates an association with deep relaxation. Autogenic therapy enables the mind to relax itself by turning off the body's physical defense mechanisms ("fight & flight" stress reaction), and opens up the "R and R" mode (rest and relaxation).
Closely resembling self-hypnosis and meditation, Autogenic Therapy is a method of concentration exercises that help alleviate stressful, physical or other health conditions. Persons who suffer from stress-related disorders, insomnia, IBS, asthma, high blood pressure, fatigue, headaches, and other health conditions may benefit from Autogenic Therapy. In additon to healt problems, Autogenic Therapy is an excellent modality for healthy persons too. Autogenic Therapy is known to heighten awareness, improve mental capabilities and even improve physical performance.
