26. Calming the Nervous System with Basic Schultz or Autogenic Training

Today, I am going to share a simple tool for calming your nervous system, mental chatter and body. Dr. Norm Shealy, one of the pioneering holistic physicians of our time, created a practice called Basic Schultz, also known as Autogenic Training. It utilizes visual imagery and bodily sensations to elicit a relaxation response and bring yourself back into parasympathetic mode. 

In Western medicine, mental health is separated from physical health, and physical health is further broken down into subcategories. However, what impacts one part impacts the whole, and the mind, body, spirit connection is so often overlooked. I want to offer a reset practice and remind you that you are enough. It’s time to do less and be more. These past two years have really damaged the collective support, and practicing Autogenic Training can help cultivate that support internally. 

Listen in to learn more about how you can bring calm to your mind and body by guiding your thoughts and connecting your whole being with nature.
