'A fascinating and thorough introduction to Autogenic Therapy. I cannot praise the book highly enough' Leslie Kenton Autogenic Therapy is a method of quick and easy mental exercises which bring about a state of deep relaxation and mental calming. This simple form of self-help can have very powerful effects. We all have innate and largely untapped powers of self-healing available to us. These are efficient processes that can be accessed by AT to help handle the normal stresses and strains of life. AT is also used to treat physical and emotional symptoms of stress and for illnesses exacerbated by stress. AT is a skill for life which primarily improves our physical and mental well-being. It also enables us to develop our potential for personal growth, creativity and spirituality. Learning the techniques of AT requires the guidance of a qualified therapist who can monitor and support the initial re-balancing process. This book describes the techniques of AT and explains the role of the therapist and the trainee. It is not a teach-yourself manual but an introduction to the theories and techniques, and a supportive companion when learning AT and when using it later on. It is essentially a book about using a proven technique to optimise our physical and psychological health and well-being.
