I purchased this book based on a few press articles I had recently read about the author, and after finishing the book and going through the audio practices (included), I have found the positive reviews to be accurate. It is indeed a well-written, highly accessible guide to a practice that beginners will find easy to grasp.
The book is quite extensive, but never overwhelming, in outlining the concept, method and reasoning behind all the techniques, so you know exactly what you’re doing and why, which is immensely helpful.
It is organised into chapters that delve further into techniques as you progress through the practice, so you do feel a real sense of progression. I feel empowered and knowledgeable about which techniques work best for me and should I need a reminder, it’s helpful knowing I can access the audio whenever I like.
The author of this book is clearly highly credible in the media and industry (based on reviews and articles from trusted outlets) so I feel confident in recommending it to anyone who wishes to explore Sophrology both as an addition to meditation, and as a fully holistic life and stress management technique.
