Autogenics - the Yin of Hormesis

If Hormesis is the Yang, then Autogenics is the necessary Yin element - helpful in the recovery phase that allows the system to respond and adapt to the stressor.
Autogenics is one of the best methods to relax totally, in mind and body. With practise you can rapidly achieve a state of warmth and total relaxation, with a cool forehead and calm, detached mind as the objective.
I've been practising it for 25 years and  find it very helpful every morning, after a work-out.
You don't need a teacher - just find a good book or material on-line and then practise every day, ideally twice a day.
