Clothing should be comfortable and not constricting. Loosen your belt if too tight, untie your shoelaces, unbutton collars and cuffs, take off your glasses, etc.\u00a0AT should be learned and performed adopting a seated position or lying on your back. When you have mastered the technique, you\u2019ll be able to do it even standing.\u00a0When you do the relaxation is good to cover yourself because the body temperature tends to decrease slightly. Moreover, a pleasant feeling of warmth will promote relaxation.\u00a0The following are the three classical positions to learn and perform autogenic training.

L'abbigliamento deve essere comodo o quantomeno non costrittivo: slacciare cinture troppo strette, allentare i lacci delle scarpe, sbottonare colletti e polsini, togliere gli occhiali, ecc. Il TA va appreso ed eseguito da seduti oppure sdraiati. Una volta padroneggiata la tecnica, lo si potr\u00e0 fare anche in piedi. Quando si fa il rilassamento \u00e8 bene coprirsi perch\u00e9 la temperatura corporea scende leggermente. Inoltre una piacevole sensazione di calore favorir\u00e0 il rilassamento. Le seguenti sono le tre posizioni classiche per apprendere ed eseguire il training autogeno.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Modulo Separatore\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" height=\"5\" divider_style=\"solid\" divider_position=\"top\" hide_on_mobile=\"on\"] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Testo\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno_1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-945 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno_1.jpg\" alt=\"training_autogeno_supino\" width=\"250\" height=\"214\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Supini, sul letto o su un materassino<\/strong>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mettere un cuscino sotto il capo. La mandibola non \u00e8 serrata ma rilasciata (i denti dell'arcata superiore ed inferiore non si toccano). Le labbra restano chiuse o socchiuse. Le braccia sono distese, sciolte lungo i fianchi, i palmi delle mani a terra con le dita leggermente separate tra loro. I gomiti sono leggermente flessi. In caso di fastidio alle braccia, le mani invece di poggiare sul letto possono poggiare sopra i fianchi, con i gomiti sempre sul materasso. Le gambe sono leggermente divaricate circa alla stessa larghezza delle spalle, i piedi tendono verso l'esterno.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Modulo Separatore\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" height=\"5\" divider_style=\"solid\" divider_position=\"top\" hide_on_mobile=\"on\"] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Testo\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno_2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-946 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno_2.jpg\" alt=\"training_autogeno_seduto\" width=\"172\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Seduti su un divano, poltrona o sedia. <\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Se c'\u00e8 uno schienale abbastanza alto per poter appoggiare la testa, bene, altrimenti durante l'esercizio lasciare che il capo si abbassi (il mento si avvicina al petto). Le braccia poggiano sui braccioli, se ci sono. Se non ci sono, i palmi poggiano sul divano o sulle cosce. Regolarsi sempre in base alla comodit\u00e0 della posizione e al fatto che non ci siano tensioni muscolari nella posizione assunta. Le gambe sono leggermente divaricate circa alla stessa larghezza delle spalle. Le piante dei piedi poggiano bene a terra e l'angolo interno del ginocchio \u00e8 circa a 90\u00b0 o maggiore (i talloni sono sulla stessa linea delle ginocchia o leggermente pi\u00f9 avanti).<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Modulo Separatore\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" height=\"5\" divider_style=\"solid\" divider_position=\"top\" hide_on_mobile=\"on\"] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Testo\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-948 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/tecnichementali.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/training_autogeno-3.jpg\" alt=\"training_autogeno_cocchiere\" width=\"250\" height=\"234\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Seduti su uno sgabello (posizione del cocchiere).<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Questa \u00e8 decisamente la posizione meno comoda per apprendere il training autogeno, ma se non disponibili le altre due va bene anche questa. Se volete potete accostare lo sgabello al muro, di modo da sentirvi pi\u00f9 stabili, ma non \u00e8 necessario. Il busto \u00e8 rilassato e tende a scendere in avanti; pi\u00f9 ci si rilassa e pi\u00f9 scende. Le gambe sono leggermente divaricate circa alla stessa larghezza delle spalle. Le piante dei piedi poggiano bene a terra e l'angolo interno del ginocchio \u00e8 circa a 90\u00b0 o poco pi\u00f9, come per la posizione precedente. Gli avambracci poggiano sulle cosce, con le mani che penzolano internamente alle cosce senza che si tocchino.\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=\"Modulo Separatore\" color=\"#ffffff\" show_divider=\"off\" height=\"5\" divider_style=\"solid\" divider_position=\"top\" hide_on_mobile=\"on\"] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Testo\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00c8 utile variare la posizione, tenendo presente che quella seduta sar\u00e0 usata pi\u00f9 di frequente.
