Autogenic training, session 4
To stand and stare, to watch the rising sun, fills me with such calm happiness, I am sure I have dwindled away too much time on inessentials. - Diana Gault (when dying of cancer)
For the fourth Autogenic Training class, I introduce a number of new practices and ideas. These include the next stage in the basic Autogenic Training sequence (pulse & general calmness), beginning to work on application during daily life (1st differential exercise), and a focus on the "Nourishing positive states" aspect of inner focus exercises. For this latter, I discuss ideas about the importance of our attitudes, process visualisation, and implementation intentions. Please read the introductory remarks and work through the first three Autogenic Training exercises before starting on this fourth Autogenic stage.
