Autogenic Training teaches us
how to come back."

Why Autogenic Training Works - especially for us with ADHD

The body has a detectable reaction to the mere imagination of body sensations, e.g. warmth or weight: the skin heats up, the muscles relax, the pulse slows down. You become calmer, more mindful and more resilient.

Chronic stress like many of us are dealing with every day, weakens and destabilises key functions our body (immune system) and soul (nervous system) need to stay focused and healthy.

​

You can think of it like establishing a direct connection to communicate with your nervous system. By opening this pathway for connection, we can support our nervous system on a daily basis to find emotional balance, resilience as well as supporting our immune system.

​

Autogenic Training has been a subject of clinical studies for many years.

Based on the results, Autogenic Training is recognised as a form of therapy for preventing health issues.

This means that most Swiss Health Insurances will accept Autogenic Training as a form of therapy within their product "Komplementärmedizin", which means it can be legitimate for reimbursements.

How Autogenic Training Works

Autogenic training (AT) is a simple yet very effective relaxation method where you use calm verbal cues to help your body unwind and strengthen your mental resilience. It is a form of self-hypnosis, allowing you to slip into a relaxed and strong state of mind whenever required.

The individual exercises induce a state of deep relaxation – the foundation for physical and mental health.

With practice, you can gently influence your body functions like breathing, heartbeat, and body tension, helping you slip into deep relaxation and ease everyday stress.

​

The Basics

​AT includes six easy exercises that create a warm, heavy, peaceful feeling in the body.

You sit or recline comfortably, focus quietly, and use imagination and short phrases to guide your body into deep relaxation. You mind and body simply flows with an easy to learn pattern of guiding exercises until you reach your nervous system.

​

The Next Level

​Once you have mastered the six basic exercises, you are free to add individual exercises which are specifically helpful to you, as well as affirmations. This can be particularly helpful if you suffer from specific issues like anxieties (e.g. exams, presentations, flying, crowded places, etc.), stress related eating disorders, headaches & migraines, stress-related muscle cramps, symptoms of perimenopause/menopause, strong period pains, PMS, etc..

​

AT works best with regular practice, and people who stick with it often find it helpful for stress, anxiety, fatigue, irritability, sleep issues, and even pain. ​
