Just as brush strokes gradually create a balanced image, autogenic training leads step by step to deep inner peace. In the mind, we gently follow calming words and images that flow into each other, creating a pleasant harmony between mind and body. When the steps flow naturally, a state of deep harmony and balance arises \u2013 just as in <em>shod\u014d<\/em>, where the writing becomes a reflection of inner equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2322\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2322\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autogenny-trening-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><em>Teaching Japanese calligraphy and the art of Shodo at Miyabi School, Takamatsu, Japan<\/em>.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autogenic training was developed by German physician Johannes Heinrich Schultz in the 1930s as a way to achieve deep physical and mental relaxation. Within meditation practices, autogenic training is considered one of the most effective mediation techniques for achieving relaxation and improving mental well-being [1, 2]. In addition to promoting deep mental and physical relaxation, it also develops the &#8220;muscle&#8221; of attention \u2013 the ability to focus and ignore distracting thoughts, while also supporting the development of <em>mindfulness<\/em> \u2013 the ability to be fully present in the moment, aware of and experiencing positive bodily sensations and activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO IS AUTOGENIC TRAINING SUITABLE FOR?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autogenic training is ideal for anyone looking for a way to manage stress, anxiety, or psychosomatic issues [1, 2]. It is considered one of the most effective stress-relief techniques, as effective as other methods such as Jacobson&#8217;s progressive relaxation or cognitive-behavioral therapy [2, 3]. Due to its simplicity and the possibility of practicing independently, it is also suitable for those who do not have time for lengthy psychotherapy or psychoanalysis with a therapist. Autogenic training combines mental and physical relaxation, which helps improve overall well-being and regulate stress in daily life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2323\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2323\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.podolan.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Autigenny-trening-2-1536x1076.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><em>Zen Garden \u2013 space for meditation and self-reflection<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Yumkhaibam, A.H., S.
