My wellbeing journey began in my late twenties when I found out that I had epilepsy for the first time through my GP – I was aged just 27yrs old.
This was just the first step on a pathway of many steps that I had to go through to get a diagnosis and then, many medications later, through trial and error, I have now got to a point of fairly good seizure control.
Why practice Sophrology?
- Relaxation has always been at the top of my agenda in whatever form in order to gain a better understanding of my triggers.
- Focusing on my sleep by finding something that would help me overcome my nocturnal epilepsy and improve my nights sleep.
- Become more aware of my inner self through regular practice has always appealed to me and this seemed to tick that box.
This daily practice is really easy to perform for a minimum of 15mins and followed by a short write up of any physical sensations or noticeable feelings that occur during your practice. The benefits are far superior than you might expect, especially for my triggers, when it comes to getting more understanding of my episodes.
To help get you started, here are a few questions:
- What is your reason for seeking alternative therapy as an option?
- Why keep a personal journal for Sophrology to work?
- What topics will you write about?
- How would you connect with your inner self?
- After successfully completing the course, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this which is one of the wonderful things about Sophrology, how we constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with ourselves is the ideal way to explore the possibilities for your own practice — but it’s good to know why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just use a previous positive experience and write the first thing that pops into your head. There is no right or wrong – in the words of Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready, fill in your Sophrology journal and keep them for yourself to refer back to another time as this could remind you of how far you’ve come since starting your Sophrology practice.
