Relaxation training for the group

In dealing with stress and emotional tension, practicing relaxation can help. This is an excellent skill to help control stress and relieve physical and mental tension.

One of the relaxation techniques we use is the Schultz technique. It allows deep relaxation, relaxing the body and mind. This technique also helps with sleep. It is based on autosuggestion and focuses on the body’s internal sensations. It involves quieting the activity of our mind and relaxing the body.

Groups can participate in the training (classes, families, friends, etc.) who want to:

• reduce stress and fatigue
• learn to relax on their own and have a pleasant time
• develop self-care skills

What are the benefits?

• greater awareness of one’s body (ability to read body signals better, „reflection” of emotions in the mind).
• with systematic training you may: lower blood pressure, improving the functionality of organs of the digestive and digestive systems.
• reducing current or ongoing symptoms of anxiety and stress.

How is it done at TUTU?

Autogenic training leads to deep relaxation, resulting in gradual tension control and reduction of psychosomatic problems. It is based on the process of self-regulation of the human body.

The first level of training involves successively creating:       

• A sense of heaviness
• A sense of warmth
• Breathing regulation
• Heartbeat regulation
• Nervous system communication
• Cooling sensation of the head

The effect of autogenic training is to train the reflex of relaxation, which can be used as a self-help method throughout life.

Learning the method takes 4 weeks and includes:

• One meeting per week including a full relaxation session with the instructor (about 30-40 minutes).
• Daily, self-directed exercise – about 10-15 minutes a day (during the other days of the week).

The training can be used less frequently, every Saturday for example, but the full effect of it (best documented by research) when it’s regularly practiced.
