WHAT IS SOPHROLOGY?

Many people ask if Sophrology is like mindfulness


There are similarities in that it begins with shifting focus from the mind stream to the body.

Sophrology however, goes further and engages a scientifically structured regime of positivity training that slowly and subtly changes the consciousness to a more harmonious way of being.​

Whilst the mind can project itself from the present into the past or the future, the body is always in the present.

To enact change in the mind, a deep and authentic connection to the body is the first priority of the practice.

By connecting to the breath and the 5 senses, Sophrology enables us to visualise with a vividness that convinces the mind that the experience, whether invented or re-lived, is really happening. In this way, we are able to build positivity into the neural pathways. ​

In time, we develop an awareness of what we are prioritising in our thoughts, we can then make a conscious choice about whether we wish to continue in the same vein or make changes. The daily exercises give us the tools to do this.

Sophrology is a journey of self-awareness which gives us the power to choose what we think about and therefore, what we manifest in our lives.

The practice of Sophrology is not a substitute for conventional medicine but a complement. Illness or injury should be attended to by an appropriate health care professional.
