: autogenic training
Autogenics is a relaxation technique which involves a series of attention-focusing exercises designed to induce relaxation and enhance the body's self-healing powers. Similar to self-hypnosis and meditation, its purpose is to enable people to learn how to put themselves in a relaxed state which can release muscle tension and help them deal with anxiety without the need of a trainer or therapists.—
