Have you tried meditation and mindfulness but struggled to get into them? Well, then perhaps you should give sophrology a try. Sophrology is a dynamic form of meditation that’s better for people who have difficulties clearing their minds and it helps you focus on the present. It differs from other meditative practices because it engages your mind and body allowing you to fully relax.
“The aim is to empower you to unlock new potential,” says Dominique Antiglio, author of The Life-Changing Power of Sophrology. “It’s a unique way to use different modalities to help you become more aware of your mind, your body so you can be more calm, confident and empowered.”
A typical session lasts between 10-30 minutes and it includes gentle movement with a Tai Chi influence that integrates breathwork, muscular relaxation, hypnosis, and visualization.
Sophrology’s already popular in parts of Europe and it’s used in schools, businesses, and professional sports as a performance tool to connect the person’s motivation to perform and to help them prepare for important events. When practiced daily, it can help your mental health, especially when you’re feeling anxious or stressed. The meditation helps your mind and body de-stress which can be incredibly helpful in preventing burnout and it’s great for helping you sleep better.
