Autogenic Training, Made Practical
- The warmth exercise ("My arm is warm")
Use the warmth phrase to produce real peripheral vasodilation — a measurable physiological relaxation response.
- The heartbeat phrase ("My heartbeat is calm and regular")
Use the heartbeat phrase to shift attention to the heart without anxiety — a slow, passive observation practice.
- The breathing phrase ("It breathes me")
Adopt a passive observation of breathing — "it breathes me" — rather than controlling the breath.
- Abdominal warmth phrase ("My solar plexus is warm")
Direct the warmth phrase to the abdominal center to deepen parasympathetic activation.
- Peripheral warmth and body temperature as a relaxation signal
Notice and cultivate warmth in the hands and feet — the peripheral vasodilation that signals deep parasympathetic rest.
