Beautiful early morning StarFerry trip to Kowloon. Breakfast in The Peninsula then looked for a small market area that Cara and I discovered a few years ago.
I realised that I felt where it was rather than think. My feeling intuition took me straight there. It must be the years of Sophrology.
Well received talk. Many questions and requests for more. Perhaps Sophrology will soon be available in Chinese!
I am in Hong Kong and preparing to teach the final part of the Sophro Diploma Course. This morning I walked down to the supermarket in North Plaza, Discovery Bay, to stock up my apartment. The sun was shining, the day glorious, the sea was calling and I took a small detour along the beach. Hidden in the lush tropical vegetation at the back of the beach was a beautiful pond teaming with small darting fish.
A huge rock caught my attention and I waded through the pond to climb onto it, feeling its welcoming presence and loving vibrations. I seem to have a great affinity with Asian rocks.
I stayed for hours with the sun warm on my face, a soft breeze caressing my skin and the sound of the fishing boats coming and going. Today is just perfect.
When I got back to my apartment put on some music and started going through my emails only to find this special – happy to be alive TED talk sent to me by one of my students.
Being in present time is a glorious adventure!
Energy Centre – SophroKi Sophrology and Reiki school – will be exhibiting at the Leman Expat Fair on Sunday 4th November in Lausanne, Switzerland.
You are welcome to visit our stand to learn how sophrology, one of the top stress relief methods, in France, came to be available in english and is starting to take off in around the world.
A sophrology exercise calms me more than just a regular meditations session. I feel more focused and relaxed after an exercise and that allows me to be more productive. An added benefit of regular sophrology in winter is that it warms my body, especially my constantly cold hand and feet. I can definitely recommend it to anybody!
I just watched a Gregg Braden YouTube video and wanted to share it with you. He speaks about the importance of Non-judgement – one of the recommended sophrology attitudes.

The 4 recommended sophrology attitudes for maximum health and wellness are:
The International Sophrology Federation held its first ever Conference on the 4th of May, this year, in Kent. It was a big success and attended by sophrologists from many different schools. We heard from several sophrologists who dhared their areas of expertise with us: Karen Cohen gave a talk on Sophrology in the English-speaking corporate world. I gave a talk on Sophro-Ki Sophrology, Sophie-Caroline Mennear told us about her children’s project in London, Eleanor Cadet shared her highlights from her work with Cancer, Parkinsons and Alzheimer patients at Cambridge Hospital.
Throughout the day we practised some old and some new sophrology exercises to keep us focussed and energised. The day ended with Florence Parot, Director of the Sophrology Academy in London, facilitating a discussion about the future vision for sophrology around the world.
Participants came from around Europe and we enjoyed networking, strengthening our connections and setting up new projects together.
The next conference will be on the 3rd of May 2012 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Sophrology has been around since the 1960s and has developed extensively in French speaking countries. Since London now has many french residents, there is a growing demand for french speaking sophrologists. Through this mixing of cultures, more and more english speaking people are searching for sophrologists.
I daily receive requests from around the world, asking where to find sophrologists and the best thing that I have been able to offer them is an online sophrology session. Hence, the idea of putting many of the sophrology exercises online so that many more people can benefit from practising sophrology. The hope is that many more people will be inspired to train as a sophrologist and in the years to come there will be several sophrologists in most towns throughout the world.
