Posture & Meditation

“All paths lead to God, but the paths are not God”, the proverb says.

Thus, to meditate is not to sit cross-legged on the ground; to meditate is to reach the deepest part of our consciousness, there where individual consciousness and Universal Consciousness merge, and this from the moment when our whole being vibrates in unison, when our physical body, our energetic body and our psychic body are perfectly aligned.

Posture is not meditation, but it is the key to that alignment.

At last the Tomatis method explained!

Here is a true practical guide to the various fields of application of the listening therapy of the celebrated Dr Tomatis. This book gives us new keys for understanding the origin of many blocks and failures. The acquisition of listening is long, delicate and often disturbed by the traumas that punctuate our childhood and that will have consequences on our personal and professional development. This new book will allow each reader to discover what such an approach can bring in order to progress in fields as varied as concentration, memorisation, communication, singing, the integration of modern languages and balance. Patrick de la Roque is a clinical psychologist. He was trained by Dr Tomatis himself. He is currently a trainer in audio-psycho-phonology (APP).

We have ears that hear, but do we truly know how to listen?

Dr Alfred Tomatis’s discoveries on the importance of the ear and of listening eventually led him to say that “man is, in his entirety, an ear”. In other words, the vocation or accomplishment of man is to be a true antenna listening to the Universe. Knowing how to listen is the first condition of all situations, whether relational, of learning, of creativity or otherwise. In this dynamic, the ear plays the role of conductor, setting our whole body and all our senses to listen. This book gives us new keys for understanding the origin of many blocks and failures. The acquisition of listening is indeed long, delicate and often disturbed by the traumas that punctuate our childhood and that will have consequences on our personal and professional development. The work also presents itself as a practical guide to the various fields of application of Dr Tomatis’s listening therapy. It will allow each reader to discover what such an approach can bring in order to progress in fields as varied as concentration, memorisation, communication, singing, the integration of modern languages and balance.
