Regular practice and training in autogenics can support your concentration general wellbeing, inner peace, creativity, meditation, sleep, as well as gentle psychological processing to release physical and emotional tensions and anxieties. Over the course of the training, you can learn to relax more deeply, personalise your practice and experiment with intermediate exercises.
