Goodbye to Himself
Worry is a waste of your time. Free Your Mind!
Today is March 17th, 2020. The streets of Italy and other European neighbors are empty. St. Patrick’s Day parades have been cancelled along with many other events. Coronavirus is giving people fear and anxiety, and they will never even get sick. Fear for themselves and fear for others. Quarantine, shutdowns, lockdowns and social distancing is happening. The reality is that the Flu virus has killed many people before and we were not at all worried about it before now. People die every day in car accidents but people still don’t fear driving their car…

Kicking Depression
October mental awareness month has passed but it is important to keep the conversations going about mental awareness. When I hit on depression I was more surprised than anyone to have found myself in this place. I mean, I help people get out of it – so how did I fall into it myself? What were the pitfalls and how did I not hit the brakes before it became worse?

Don't be Green on St. Patrick’s Day!
It’s coming to that time of year again when everything starts to go green… no not Springtime… but St. Patrick’s Day!! Yes and although I am Irish and I like to participate in the occasional “merry” moment with friends and family I like to just observe those who get with the Irish spirit on the day itself!..

Don’t Sweat the Elections!
2016 has been a very interesting year for America. Living in Arizona since 2012, I feel sometimes some Americans don’t exercise their right to freedom of speech. This is not to say a few certainly don’t hold back! By suppressing their real thoughts and feelings however, they hold themselves back from being truly free. I am speaking as an Irish person who has seen how Europeans express themselves freely without fear of doing so.
The 2016 Presidential elections gave the American public the chance to speak freely. It helped release a lot of frustrations and anger. Anger needs to be released and more importantly managed without causing harm to anyone. I have always wanted to know people’s personal politics. It has always fascinated me. I like to see all sides to the coin. I am from Ireland where we all love a good discussion, from the family home, friends, the taxi driver, to down the pub! There needs to be an outlet where we can all express ourselves without fear or violence or else we will feel oppression. Is this suppressed anger why America has so many violent cases of gunfire?
The election is over and the results are in. Now is the time to manage any frustrations, anger and disappointments – as life continues. So how to do this: go to the gym and exercise? Get out and have fun with friends! - practice yoga, mindfulness, meditation or all three together using sophrology?
Sophrology helps people cope with anxiety, anger, fear and stress. It helps you to focus on the positives in life and walk away from the negatives. With practice it becomes part of your sub consciousness. We all need to work on ourselves to have inner peace.
Everyone wins. Inner peace in one person spreads and affects everyone. So does the opposite. Which do you prefer to spread?

Practicing Sophrology Reduces Exam Stress
Exam season has arrived. You have put in all the hard work. You have done your best. Then what happens on the day of the exam? You begin to feel a little tense, your heart beats a little faster and your breathing becomes a little shorter. You see your school friends beside you writing away furiously while you have found yourself staring at the paper in front of you...
The Sophro Girls introduce Sophrology (long version)
I have been doing sophrology for some time now with two of my favorite girls, who I have decided to call The Sophro Girls. They will be checking in now and then to give some feedback. Let's refer to them as Big Sis and Little Sis. I think that I will just let the video do the talking in this one! Check out their interesting analogies!
First session with a four year old
The youngest person I have taught Sophrology to was four years old. She is one of the Sophro Girls which you will see more of in later blogs, but let's call her Big Sis for now. Big Sis was just 4 years old when she had her first Sophrology session. It wasn't planned to do a session with her but at the time I was training to become a sophrologist, so anyone willing to give it a try, I would practice with...
