• Able to relieve tension and relax away muscle pain.
• Visualization and body awareness techniques that put you in control.
• Can have beneficial effects on heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.

Autogenics works through a regular practice of meditative body awareness in which a variety of phrases, such as "loose and limp," "warm and heavy," and "I am at peace" are repeated in a structured way along with correct posture and reinforcing visualizations.  

Autogenic training is an excellent resource for relaxing pain or tension in your muscles and in general releasing tension from your body.  Autogenics affects the subconscious mind and provides practitioners with significant self-regulating skills for their own physical and mental well-being.  

Regular practice lasting 6 to 8 weeks is recommended to achieve self-regulating effects. 

Autogenic Therapy is covered by insurance.
