Autogenic Training Mindfulness Relaxation

Based on the classic relaxation technique, Autogenic Training, this relaxation session was created for my college students as a mindfulness meditation practice. Simply stated, Autogenic Training is where you focus (be mindful) of specific body parts (e.g., arms, hands, legs, feet) to feel the sensations of warmth and heaviness. This sensation is a result of being aware (mindful) of the flow of blood in your body (with each heart beat and each breath). It can be a wonderfully relaxing meditation session and is often used to help people get a better night's sleep. Music for this recording was commissioned by me through composer James Owen Mathews
