Autogenics
Created developed by German
psychiatrist Johannes Schultz, Autogenic training, or therapy is a deep-relaxation
technique. Schultz chose the name Autogenics as suggested by one
of his students, Wolfgang Luthe. Autogenic' means self-generated
or generated from within, and autogenics conditions the individual
in a kind of self-hypnosis. However, the autogenic state is not a hypnotic
trance, although it is similar. Autogenics is a method of training the
mind so that it can influence the body in a positive way. In developing
autogenics Schultz used his knowledge of both Hypnosis and Yoga.
