Hello Claudi,

Wikipedia reports on 'autogenic therapy':

"Autogenic training is a term for a relaxation technique developed by the German psychiatrist Johannes Schultz first published in 1932. It usually involves a series of sessions in which the patients learn to relax their limbs, heart, and breathing. The goal is to induce a pleasant, warm feeling throughout most of the body and induce a feeling of coolness in the forehead. The technique is used against stress-induced psychosomatic disorders. Schultz emphasized parallels to techniques in yoga and meditation."
