what is sophrology ?
Sophrology is a short therapy created in 1960 by the neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo
Sophrology is a self-development practice based on easy to do exercises of controlled breathing, relaxation, gentle movements (adaptable to each person’s abilities) and positive visualization (mental imagery) to positively support you in your daily life.
Sophrology will help you to optimize your mental well-being by strengthening your body and mind in order to achieve your daily balance.
It will allow you, among other things, to manage your stress, your anxiety, to enjoy better sleep, to increase your performance…
It allows you to find harmony between body, mind, and emotions which are interconnected.
A METHOD THAT IS INSPIRED BY BOTH WESTERN SCIENCE AND EASTERN PRACTICES
THERE ARE 53 SOPHROLOGY EXERCISES
Each session has a precise intention and each exercise is personalized according to this intention, thus encouraging awareness. The aim is to achieve the goal you have set yourself by developing your potential and enhancing or improving your well-being.
SOPHROLOGY, WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
- A sophrologist answers to a code of deontology which defines its perimeter of intervention and the limits of its practice.
- Sophrology is a short therapy which does not replace consultation of a health professional or a medical treatment.
- Sophrology does not cure any disease, it is an excellent complement to a medical and / or psychological follow-up.
- It helps to improve the way we live, feel or apprehend things in relation to a state (physical, mental, emotional), or to a situation or event.
- Sophrology requires regular practice. Indeed, as with sport, as soon as one stops training, the performances decrease. In order to maintain the results, the ideal is to integrate it into your daily life.
- Sophrology is not reimbursed by the Social Security, but it may be covered by some complementary insurance companies. I invite you to inquire with your insurance company
