In this article I will describe the practice of autogenic training and, as well, I will try to explain them the principles so You can invent the most efficient ones "bundles" of training the mind and body.
About 10 years ago I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown – did not and could not literally everything, so I did not take. Reasons will leave out of this article.
From that moment began a fascination with psychology as the discipline that "pull" me not that hopeless, but absolutely no depths.
I was lucky – the first semester was devoted to "psycho-physical recovery", my practice began with classical motivational Schultz. Briefly describe the essence of the method: one takes a comfortable position, closes his eyes and, next, using affirmations, enter yourself in three States: relaxation, heaviness and sensation of warmth and lightness. Helpful prevention, which I did before going to sleep – enter the state warm, but intense relaxation. Now, note: almost any autogenic training (in other words – training based on auto-suggestion) will be triggered quickly and efficiently, only in the case of prolonged practice. In behavioral psychology would say – only after a lengthy consolidation bundles "stimulus – response".
I studied at the sequence: idea-emotion-somatic (bodily) response. Autogenic training is based on this principle.
Autogenic training – a powerful tool for the prevention of psychosomatic diseases and ecology of consciousness, restore order in the head.
Of the classics is applied and there is a lot of derivative – matched favorite words and images and associations that allow you to get in short time to the desired emotional state. Connect channels VAK (visual, auditory, kinesthet) – for a more intense and deeper state of relaxation.
One of the variations of autogenic training is an exercise sanctuary. The gist of it is that You mentally move into the most favorite, close or inspiring place and using a visual ("what surrounds you?"), auditory ("hear what?") and kinesthetic ("feel what?") experience, plunged into a state of stay and comfort – it's all a miracle. The miracle of consciousness, the hint "cheat sheet" which helps to find resources on, at times, seemingly impossible and dead-end tasks and put ourselves in proper condition of body and mind.
the Second level of autogenic training is the observation that, as we observed in a state of relaxation. The observation of thoughts, watching the flow of thoughts. Here comes a real self-examination, there is a huge resource for self-discovery.
What is the depth of this process? Ask yourself and better look for answers in practice.
But! In this practice, always select the right depth.
I wish you Success in training and knowledge itself.
