What is it?

A relaxation technique, where attention is paid to sensory aspects, inspired by Schultz's Autogenic Training. It differs in particular in the exercise of heart control, which has been suppressed because it generates too many unpleasant sensations. Indeed, it can be nerve-wracking for some people to hear or not hear their heart beating!

Intent

As always at TOP, the subject has total freedom to take into account the suggestions offered or to have other sensations.
