1. autogenics

   Autogenic training is a desensitization-relaxation technique developed by the German psychiatrist Johannes Heinrich Schultz by which a psychophysiologically determined relaxation response is obtained. The technique was first published in 1932. Studying the self-reports of people immersed in a hypnotic state, J.H. Schultz noted that physiological changes are accompanied by certain feelings. Abbé Faria and Émile Coué are the forerunners of Schultz. The technique involves repetitions of a set of visualisations that induce a state of relaxation and is based on passive concentration of bodily perceptions (e.g., heaviness and warmth of arms, legs), which are facilitated by self-suggestions. The technique is used to alleviate many stress-induced psychosomatic disorders.Biofeedback practitioners integrate basic elements of autogenic imagery and have simplified versions of parallel techniques that are used in combination with biofeedback. This was done at the Menninger Foundation by Elmer Green, Steve Fahrion, Patricia Norris, Joe Sargent, Dale Walters and others. They incorporated the hand warming imagery of autogenic training and used it as an aid to develop thermal biofeedback.

   Autogenics is a relaxation technique developed by the German psychiatrist Johannes Heinrich Schultz in 1932. It involves a series of mental exercises that help to reduce stress, anxiety, and other negative conditions, and improve well-being. The exercises focus on creating feelings of warmth and heaviness in the body parts to attain a state of deep relaxation. Autogenic means self-generated or self-produced and refers to the idea that individuals can influence their own bodily functions through mindful relaxation and visualization.
