More About Relaxation and Autogenic Training
The successful switching from tension to relaxation determines whether we feel well. The person who is gripped by physical tension and cramped muscles will also be psychologically cramped. Such a person's relation to the world around will also be beset with tension. Unhappiness, physiological problems and failures will result almost always.
Tensions always have been part of life. But today it seems to be more difficult to relax than ever before. Although tension is necessary, even beneficial, in many situations of life, indiscriminate and chronic tension is not.
The more chronically tense a person is, the stronger the desire to relax, and the more difficult it is to find this desired relaxation.
Everyone reacts differently to states of tension. Almost every disease also leads to an increase in tension that can have physical, psychological, and social effects. We all know people whose constant state of nervousness irritates us. Such people are in a permanent state of excessive tension.
People wear a mask, i.e., they are in a permanent state of tension. These people have chronic muscle spasms. Wilhelm Reich called this the muscular armor. This armor is at the root of much malfunctioning on all levels: of our bodies and in our personal and social relationships. Autogenic Training can be a significant help in easing, even dissolving, the armoring of a person, especially when supported by an orgone generator® or a Chi-Card.
You should practice the relaxation method that is inherent in Autogenic Training in your own self interest. It leads to states of relaxation that are much deeper that you can ever reach with methods of progressive relaxation, even hypnosis that is induced by some run-off-the-mill "professionals."
By turning your attention to your own body you will not only learn that you have a body, you will also learn that you are body. According to Dr. Schultz, you must slip passively into the physical experience of your body. You must transport yourself into the organ that you wish to influence. This has nothing to do with willpower, because successful autosuggestion takes place without the exertion of the will and its subsequent interference.
Violation of this principle can produce paradoxical effects. Consider the following: Anytime you absolutely want to fall asleep or try to force this, you will find out very rapidly that falling asleep is more difficult, even impossible.
Some persons find it difficult to distinguish between concentration, i.e., the focus on specific ideas, images, etc., and the personal will that is always related to active tension. The practitioner who is pushing his or her will power to achieve certain things is less effective than the practitioner who 'is setting a focus' on the same things.
Your complete abandonment to the content of the formulas that you use in your practice is in a way a form of abandonment of your will, even of forgetting yourself. It guarantees the success of your practice. Anyone who can learn how to relax during Autogenic Training will become much more relaxed in general, and if it was only for this one feature, Autogenic Training would be well worth learning.
