Our psychologist at Visegrádi street center

Autogenic training is a relaxation method that helps to deeply relax the body and mind, reduce stress, and create physical and mental harmony. It has been around for decades and has been proven effective in many areas of psychology and health. The essence of the method is that, through conscious attention and internal dialogue, we direct our attention to certain parts of our body, inducing a natural state of relaxation.

Autogenic training is not just a simple form of relaxation, but a conscious series of exercises that help calm the mind, release tension, and create balance in our busy everyday lives. Regular practice can improve well-being, reduce physical symptoms associated with stress and anxiety, and develop mental resilience.

Autogenic training exercises are usually performed in a quiet, calm environment while sitting or lying down. The training is based on short, concentrated sentences that help us focus our attention on different parts of the body. Examples include:

“My arms are heavy and relaxed.”

“My legs are warm and calm.”

“My breathing is deep and calm.”

“My heartbeat is regular and calm.”

These internal statements promote physical relaxation, while the rhythm of breathing slows down and becomes more even. During the exercise, the body and mind work together to achieve a state of deep relaxation, during which the nervous system is relieved of stress.

It is advisable to learn the exercises under the guidance of a professional at first, so that you can avoid mistakes by learning the correct technique and maximize effectiveness. Regular practice at home is essential for lasting results.

Autogenic training exercises can be easily incorporated into your daily routine, even during short breaks at work. For example, a deep relaxation exercise at any time of the day can help you recharge your batteries, reduce tension, and improve your well-being.

It can be particularly useful for those who have stressful days, who tend to overthink things, or who find it difficult to relax and recharge. Autogenic training teaches us to consciously induce a state of inner calm, allowing us to better control our emotions and physical reactions.

Our experts help you learn autogenic training techniques in a personalized way, taking into account your individual circumstances and needs. We accompany you on your relaxation journey with guided lessons and empathetic support to ensure that the exercises are truly effective.

We believe it is important for everyone to progress at their own pace, so we strive to recommend methods and tools that are easy to apply in everyday life. The goal is for autogenic training to become not just a “separate” relaxation exercise, but a natural part of physical and mental health.

With autogenic training, you can start on the path to finding inner balance, which supports stress management, reduces anxiety, improves sleep quality, and contributes to a more harmonious life.
