Developed by German doctor, Johannes Schultz, in the early 20th century, autogenic training teaches you how to use the mind-body connection to influence and regulate the body's normally involuntary autonomic functions by passively tapping into your central and peripheral nervous systems. Often used for stress relief, autogenic training can, also, be used for asthma, chronic pain, migraines, constipation, anxiety, panic attacks and a host of other conditions. In this book, James Endredy takes autogenic training to a new level, revealing how to use AT practices to optimise health as well as reawaken your senses, reconnect with Nature and tap into the vast knowledge and power of the universe.
Beginning with the 7 standard formulae of AT, the author provides step-by-step instructions for 40 AT and primal mind techniques. He explains how to add specific healing affirmations and visualisations to your AT practice as well as how to work with colours and the chakras. He offers advanced training to rekindle your primal touch sensitivity, experience enhanced sight and hearing and awaken your primal sense of smell. He reveals how to use AT to restore our primal connection to the world of Nature through practices such as Forest Bathing, Nature's Breath and Primal Fire Connection.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience living and working with indigenous cultures, including the Huichol, Iroquois, Sioux, Maya and Hopi, Endredy shows how, much like a vision quest, this unique combination of AT and primal mind awareness offers rites of passage sorely missing from modern life. It gives you the tools to go deeper into your physiological being, to directly experience how we relate to the world and to reconnect with the ancient wisdom within each of us.
