Each exercise involves the patient lying down, focusing without any particular objective, and then using verbal cues and visual imagination to relax her body in a particular way. The woman relaxed in a half-lying position with a supported back and both arms relaxed at her sides during the eight-week autogenic relaxation training, which lasted 30-40 minutes, one session each week. The woman was advised to focus on her breathing and identify if it was shallow or rapid. Then start to visualize anything in her thoughts. This item should be easy for her to use and enjoyable.
