A Mini Autogenic Training Relaxation for Stress Relief and Anxiety

Joanne D'Amico (2015) CC
Here is a mini relaxation exercise that includes a short deep breathing exercise followed by an autogenic visualization that will help elicit a feeling of warmth, heaviness and deep relaxation. Autogenic relaxation is a form of self-hypnosis that involves giving yourself verbal cues to relax. It helps calm the mind and aids the body to return to a normal state of balance. A wonderful feeling of peace and relaxation results from doing autogenic relaxation. This is a mini sample and I will record a longer full version of an Autogenic relaxation very soon so please stay tuned! The script for the visualization of this audio was inspired and adapted by the Autogenic Breathing exercise found in the "The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook" (p.111) by Martha Davis PhD. This workbook is a wonderful resource for stress management and relaxation training!
