Sophrology is a practice that uses the body and its natural functions to develop your consciousness. Like other meditative practices, it’s based on the idea that by calming and focusing your mind through exercises of simple observation and awareness, you can reach a state of mind that brings peace, harmony, and well-being.
It’s easy to learn some basic principles—for example, our anatomy is the object of sophrology practice. In sophrology exercises, you can feel and perceive the body’s capacity through its form and movement. The principle of logic and objectivity is developed through regular practice. As you become more familiar with these exercises, you can make them work for you in ways uniquely suited to your own version of reality. And finally, sophrology adapts to each person’s specific needs.
With these four basic principles as your guide, you can learn how to use your body in ways that promote positivity in your day-to-day life. By connecting our inner world (our thoughts, feelings, attitudes) with our outer world (our environment), we’re better able to handle difficult situations when they come up—and we’re able to recognize and appreciate positive things when they happen too!
