What is Sophrology?

Everyone has their own way of understanding the world. We all become aware of our surroundings in different and often systematic ways. We think that what we perceive is “right” because we experience it. However we often observe that these are not perceived in the same way by those around us. We could have lived the same scene and have a completely different memory of it, recollecting different details and experience different feelings. Likewise, we see our future in different ways, some full of hope, while others already feeling discouraged. In our daily life, we tend to live the present moment more in reflection, in the mind, making our daily life a mental projection, cutting off the sensations of our body, which is nevertheless very present …
We live our daily lives guided by the way our consciousness works.

Sophrology is defined as the science of consciousness.
It’s a personal development and wellness technique created in 1960 by Alfonso Caycedo inspired, by hypnosis, phenomenology, yoga, Zen and Buddhism…. Through training and exercise we can learn to restore the balance between our body and mind so that we can fully experience the present moment. Throughout the sessions, with targeted exercises, we learn to unveil our consciousness, to understand how we function with the objective to achieve goals with confidence, and a positive mindset, or simply to reduce stress, and attain inner peace.

Sophrology provides us a toolkit to overcome obstacles that restrain us from fully and serenely embracing our journey . The more we practice, the more results we get. Sophrology is the school of positivity!
