Teaching Relaxation, Rest, and Renewal since 2002
The Self-Study Program
The Self-Study Program consists of the following components:
Six CDs, sent to you via United States Postal Service (USPS): On each CD, you are guided through the perspective phrase along with the repetition of previous phrases just as you would hear it in a class setting. For example, with the fourth CD, you learn the fourth phrase – the breathing phrase – and you repeat the first three phrases, the heaviness, the warmth, and the heart phrase.
Additionally, on each CD you find two versions of finishing your practice. One version leads you out of the state of deep relaxation in a slow and gentle way. The other version lets you finish your session more abruptly, emphasizing immediate alertness and freshness. You chose the track that fits best your present situation and needs.
Ideally, you use these CDs in six subsequent weeks.
Six booklets, sent to you as PDF via email: In these booklets, you find general information such as how to create a favorable environment for learning Autogenic Training, different sitting positions, when to choose the lying down position, etc.
Each booklet gives you detailed explanations to the physiological process associated with a given phrase, detailed instructions, and solutions for common questions.
Additionally, in each booklet you find a catalog of specific questions for your practice of each phrase. These questions help you to focus your attention on particular effects and to sharpen your observation and awareness of the inner physiological and mental processes in your body and mind.
The booklets also include diary-like pages encouraging you to write down your experiences during your daily practice. Additionally, space is provided to note questions that may arise.
You are strongly encouraged to make yourself independent from the CDs. Use the CDs initially and let them open the door for your self-practice. Remember thatAutogenic Training is not only designed to teach you profound relaxation but also self-control and independence from any outside source. The beauty of Autogenic Training lies exactly in the fact that once learned you can generate the shift into a deep state of relaxation within moments, anywhere and anytime, without anybody in your surroundings noticing.
Therefore, in the six booklets, you receive many tips and suggestions on how to find your own wording, pacing, and order of phrases. At the same time, you learn how to add imagery that is meaningful to you, and how to develop your own phrases according to your unique particular needs.
Email support: Despite the bounty of tips and suggestions in the booklets, you will have your own training experiences and questions. With your Self-Study Program, you are entitled to email support for up to ten weeks after the shipping date of the entire program (up to ten days after the shipping date of a single phrase).
