How Sophrology works
A method using Eastern Philosophy and Western Science
Sophrology combines deeply relaxing mind-body practices, such as dynamic relaxation, breathing, visualisations and auto-genetic training (AT is a technique that teaches your body to respond to your verbal commands. Commands can tell your body to relax, and control breathing, heartbeat, temperature. AT in Sophrology helps to reduce stress in pressure moments) all practices in Sophrology help to stimulate cognitive functions and vitality.
The combination of physical and mental techniques promotes wellbeing and harmony through awareness of the relationship between the Mind and Body. Enabling you to recognise your behaviours discover your inner resources and strengths.
The exercises are called dynamic relaxation (relaxation in movement). The ultimate aim is to become fully present, fully alive and fully participating, comfortably and joyfully, in all areas of life.
After starting to practice Sophrology, some of the things that noticeably change are: more restful sleep, greater focus and concentration, feelings of inner joy and awareness, fewer worries, increased self-confidence.
