Whether it is internships or literature, the business of personal development is successful: the France 3 team attended the seminar "New start" at Grande Motte and went to a bookstore in Montpellier.

Sophrology, or the study of consciousness in harmony, is used as a technique of relaxation and self-knowledge. It allows, among other things, to develop a more harmonious personality, through self-awareness and the reinforcement of positive structures. In Laon, in the Aisne, in her office, sophrologist Claire BOUTHORS helps the teacher Marianne COIN to better manage her stress, and to be more attentive to her body. Claire BOUTHORS, sophrologist: "it is the study of the balance of unconsciousness. You learn to feel your body in relaxation, in well-being." Marianne is looking for a behavior that only these consultations can help her achieve. Marianne COIN: "I came to see Madame Bouthors because my little boy was very anxious at school. I did the exercises with him and found something interesting. I felt like I was missing out on my life, always running, never being in the moment and not enjoying the good little moments of life." Claire BOUTHORS: "the fact of settling down, to calm the body, the breath, it also poses the mind, the ideas." Sitting, standing or lying down, the exercises vary depending on the case and the problem encountered. It is a matter of easing tensions and then projecting mentally into success. Claire BOUTHORS: "All the people I met know very well how to make negative projections. The most difficult thing is to project yourself in a positive, constructive way. ' Sophrology does not cure, it lifts the veil on abilities, it is self-knowledge by the body.
