The Life Changing Power of Sophrology is a great book for an introduction to sophrology and how it can help you reduce stress and be more present and mindful.
The book starts with the story of how the author came to know and learn sophrology and I found this really interesting and a nice way to start the book. I hadn't heard much about sophrology before so it was interesting to learn about it and the benefits it has.
The middle of the book has many sophrology exercises and what they might be of benefit for. The way these are written is easy to understand and explained very well but they're even better when you use the audio as it's much easier to follow. I do like the quick sophrology that was mentioned as these would be great for on the go.
The book ends with some commonly asked questions and how you could incorporate sophrology in daily life to give it the most benefit to you. I found this a nice way to end the book and learning a bit more about the different levels of sophrology and what they consist of was fascinating.
I enjoyed reading this book and it is a great way to begin learning about the power of sophrology. I will continue to do the audio and look forward to seeing more benefits the practice will bring.

A great addition to meditation
Really enjoyed this book thanks to the clear instructions and interesting examples. Many aspects based on meditation, but more connected to body and feel more related to general well-being. Looking forward to more practice and even more positive results. Pity no Sophrology in Wiltshire!

I listened to the Blink summary of this book. I found it made a lot of sense. It's similar in a lot of ways to meditation, with a focus on connection between the mind and body. I am intrigued and plan to read more books on the subject.

Adem in adem uit. De kracht van sofrologie: het nieuwe mediteren door Dominique Antiglio.
‘Een praktische methode die lichaam en geest in harmonie brengt.’ Dat staat op de (trouwens mooie) cover van dit boek te lezen. Je beter in je vel voelen door gewoon maar wat te ademen? Dat klinkt heel tof maar ook een beetje te gemakkelijk, daarom dat ik dit boek wel eens wou lezen. Want stel dat het toch echt…
Dominique kwam zelf op haar 15de in aanraking met sofrologie, ze is eerst osteopaat geworden omdat in die branche het belang van de verbinding tussen lichaam en geest wordt erkend. Later heeft ze ook nog de opleiding tot sofroloog gevolgd, om nog beter haar patiënten te kunnen helpen.
Die passie en gedrevenheid komt doorheen het ganse boek naar boven. In Adem in adem uit komen voornamelijk oefeningen uit de eerste niveaus aan bod, er zijn er 12, en deze zijn goed te doen voor iedereen.
Dit is het eerste boek dat ik in dit genre lees dat ook echt doet wat het belooft. Als je dit boek koopt hoef je niets extra’s meer aan te schaffen om aan de slag te gaan. Elke oefening staat uitvoerig beschreven en voor wie wil is er op de site van Dominique een luisteroefening beschikbaar, gratis. Die oefeningen zijn heel makkelijk, eenvoudig en helder uitgelegd in begrijpelijk Engels (met een grappig Zwitsers accent).
Ik ben nog niet lang genoeg bezig om te zeggen dat mijn leven echt al is veranderd maar ik kan wel al zeggen dat ik na het uitvoeren van de eerste oefeningen al een gevoel van ontspanning ervaarde. In het begin vragen de oefeningen iets meer tijd maar na een poosje zou een 10 minuutjes per dag oefenen, als onderhoud, voldoende zijn om je beter in je vel te voelen. Ik geloof er wel in. Het zijn ook geen rare oefeningen ofzo, veel dingen herken ik uit de yoga of van tijdens het mediteren. Door bewust te ademen, rustige bewegingen uit te voeren en positieve intenties te visualiseren kan je je leven zo veranderen dat je beter slaapt, meer zelfvertrouwen krijgt, woede kunt loslaten, je concentratie vergroten,…
Dominique is een enthousiaste aanhangster en verspreidster van sofrologie, ik denk dat ik in haar voetsporen ga treden. Gun jezelf dit boek, gun jezelf meer positiviteit in lichaam en geest. Een mooi begin van 2019!

A thorough and practical introduction to the practice of Sophrology
Dominique is unique in her generosity and willingness to bring the practice of Sophrology to a new audience.
This book and accompanying audio exercises go beyond explaining the principles to helping you to apply the exercises to everyday life and really start to make a difference. This is more than mindfulness and meditation and the impact can be immediate.

I could not find a copy from any accessible Library but the preview did not make it sound too different than many other accessible traditions
