I came across autogenics being mentioned in an article I was reading about trauma.

I have never heard of it, so I Googled it.

Here's the link:

Autogenics -- A self-help training schedule

Has anyone trained themselves in this?

Reading through it, it seems pretty time intensive and a lot to remember. Maybe after you practice it, it becomes less complicated?

I was interested in it to use as a grounding tool. I'm ever in search of something that will work every time.

Does that even exist?

It reminds me of something that's a lot easier to practice: yoga nidra, which is a guided process for relaxation. I went to a studio that promoted it for PTSD. I think you might find it to be a better fit for your sensitive heart. It's a very gentle, peaceful practice. If you have a yoga studio nearby, you might check to see if they have any yoga nidra classes.
Thanks for this!

Thank you!! That sounds very inviting. The studio I just found offers relaxing and restoring yoga classes. They would probably be that type of yoga.

I hope your hand is doing better!!
