What is Sophrology?
Sophrology is a discipline that boosts mental strength while consciously relaxing the body. This relaxation therapy blends mindfulness, breathing techniques, gentle movement and visualization. It is used as a stress management tool increasing inner calm and mental satisfaction as the mind reaches a deep sense of relaxation. This feeling of calm can last hours even weeks afterwards.
Why Sophrology?
Cause it’s EASY! We get to go on a mind vacation and experience the deepest level of zen while relaxing the body completely! It lowers blood pressure, calms the nervous system, helps regenerate body and brain cells. So not only are we helping avoid long term mental exhaustion, we are increasing mental strength to help us deal with life’s challenges: be it stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, grief, depression, PTSD, emotional pain and.. even boredom!
Where is Sophrology practiced?
At home, on our way to work, at the office, in school, sitting on a bench eating lunch, lying in bed, standing in line at the bank, sitting on a chair.. It doesn’t require any special gear and it doesn’t require any special set up. So it’s easy for everyone to try it.
Why have I not heard of it before?
It’s been Europe’s best kept secret since the 1960s! It’s now available in the USA in person and via phone. So you don’t have to be doing it in person to learn how to practice it. Niamh Lyons, the founder of American Sophrology has developed Sophrology to make it more accessible to everyone all over the United States. If you have a telephone, and can be hands-free, you are in for a treat! Enjoy it from the comfort of your home!
What Are The Benefits?
OK So, there is a big long list on the Benefits Page, but briefly, essentially what is happening when you practice Sophrology is, your body goes into a deep state of relaxation. It goes to a place where you are feeling like you are asleep but you are still awake. As you have consciously relaxed the body completely, the mind is also completely relaxed. So now your body can release stress, tension and anxiety in order to welcome absolute utter mind and body bliss! At the same time you can rejuvenate the cells and release toxins! The scary part is once you’ve done it you realize how much stress your mind and body has been holding prior to this. But once you have learnt sophrology you have the tools to blast it away, or at least manage it.
famous Fans practicing it
Arianna Huffington is a fan! She recently tweeted her word of the day was “Sophrology.” She knows a lot about managing stress and how important it is to rest the mind. She even wrote a book all about why it’s important to relax the mind #thrive #ariannahuffington #huffingtonpost.
Many French & Swiss national sports teams use it for mental preparation in competition. Those who have publicly spoken about it include: Seve Ballesteros, Sergio Garcia, Yannick Noah & Serge Betsen. All top athletes practice some kind of mental strengthening method - it gives them the edge to win as they are calm mentally! BUT.. shush cause most who practiced sophrology only came out about it, after they retired.
Sophrology is first suggested by French and Swiss doctors as a method to deal with depression, manage stress and anxiety, to patients without use of medication.
