SOPHRO BALANCE for Wellbeing

We can all make ‘Good little Vibrations’ happen if we tune into our inner senses and open up our awareness to reach a deeper level of wellbeing. The answer to how this can be achieved is a surprisingly simple process that is easy to do so you can experience it for yourself! Sophrology blends Buddhism, Yoga and Zen for a Dynamic Relaxation guided practice that can improve your overall wellbeing enabling you to enjoy life.

We have a tendency to focus on the negatives in life which is human nature, a survival instinct, fight or flight, it is a coping mechanism for us to think the worst because anything else is better or a bonus. So much so, that we have learnt to react rather than act to any given situation which can leave us feeling inadequate or anxious about the issues we face or perhaps more negative as a result. If this is something that resonates with you then maybe you need a more positive life enhancing tool that can enable you to feel happiness & joy in your life.

The Tibetans knew a thing or two about how Buddhism, more specifically meditation, could bring spiritual awareness into their lives and by incorporating that they could experience freedom, and ultimately, full liberation of the mind. They were able to gain deeply from their intense practice giving them an insight into their sense of being and they learnt how to remain positive and calm beyond natural wellbeing. Another practice, Yoga or Hatha Yoga, well known in the UK and practiced by all ages is a pastime we enjoy because of the physical benefits and also the way in which it improves our overall health & wellbeing by removing stress and calming the mind. And finally, Zen, also known as Zen Buddhism, is the Japanese art of attaining enlightenment through realisation of one’s inner connectedness and it teaches impactful lessons as a form of mediation that focus on our own natural intuition. Quite a powerful trio wouldn’t you agree!

That is what Sophro Balance is, or Sophrology as it’s known in France & Switzerland, a combination of all three of these amazing healing practices which incorporates small movements by focusing on the breath through guided relaxation and visualisation techniques that make it very easy to do. Similarly, mindfulness, can have the same potential benefits when practised regularly but not everyone can sit endlessly without a focal point or aim which is where Sophro Balance comes into it’s own and why it works!

“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”
