    Area of Science:

    • Psychophysiology
    • Mind-body medicine
    • Behavioral medicine

    Background:

    • Body-oriented therapies and meditation are increasingly used for psychosomatic disorders.
    • A novel self-control technique, the self-regulation method (SRM), is introduced, integrating principles from autogenic training and Zen meditation.

    Observation:

    • Physiological measures including skin temperature, galvanic skin response, and cortical evoked potentials were studied.
    • Psychological assessments were conducted to evaluate the effects of SRM.

    Findings:

    • Psycho-physiological studies indicate that SRM can induce a state described as 'relaxed alertness'.
    • Clinical case studies demonstrate the application and potential benefits of SRM.

    Implications:
