Treatments from Tekla Kosa
Autogenic Training (AT) is a powerful mind and body technique involving simple relaxation and body awareness exercises. They reduce the intensity of the body’s stress response and replace it with a calmer state in which self healing naturally takes place.
AT is taught over eight to ten weeks, in one-hourly sessions if working as an individual or longer sessions when learning in a small group (four to six people), and is based around a series of six simple mental exercises focusing on various body systems. Each week you learn a new AT exercise, which builds on the previous week’s practice as well as some off-loading exercises which will help you release both current and previously suppressed emotions. The AT exercises are then practiced two to three times a day for a few minutes at a time.
AT has been clinically applied to a wide rage of disorders including:
- panic attacks, phobias and anxiety
- high blood pressure
- headaches and migraine
- insomnia
- asthma and other respiratory problems
- stress
- chronic fatigue
- diabetes
- diseases of the digestive system
- muscular pain
