Danke schön, Doktor Schultz

I have used autogenic relaxation techniques in the past, and prefer this modality to guided imagery (another popular relaxation method.)  The script of this exercise was highly detailed and described the sensations well, particularly the heaviness and warmth that come with deep relaxation.  I became relaxed quickly, and it was easy to let my areas of tension let go.  Taking inventory and turning attention to individual body parts instead of just telling myself, "Relax, dummy!" always helps with this.  The music was perfect: it complemented the exercise rather than distracting from it, and the calm flow helped to slow my breath.
