AUTOGENIC TRAINING AT HOME

Here are some tips from C. Norman Shealy, M.D., PhD. He is a neurosurgeon, psychologist, and the founding president of the American Holistic Medical Association, as well as president of the Holos Institute for Heath. He has published 25 books and over 300 articles, including his new book, Energy Medicine.

In 1974 this medical doctor entered the Humanistic Psychology Insitute, now Saybrook, to get a PhD. in psychology, which led to the concept of Biogenics. He explains:

* Begin as of now – being grounded in present time. Most people spend too much time reliving traumas of the past.

* Positive self-esteem – virtually all psychological problems – arose because of poor self esteem.

* Balancing body feelings – sensory biofeedback to become aware of physical tension held in the body and to learn to turn body sensations on or off.

* Balancing emotions – learning to let go of anxiety, anger, guilt, and depression, and all their synonyms which are a basic foundation for virtually all physical problems.

* Spiritual attunement – getting in touch with soul, divine, and God.

Second week, after three minutes of “my arms and legs are heavy and warm,” add, as you breathe in “M heartbeat is” and as you breathe out “Calm and regular” Continue for three minutes, while visualizing something calm and regular like the pendulum of a clock. Continue daily for a week. Third week do the two earlier exercises and add, as you breathe in: “My breathing is “Free and Easy” as you breathe out.
