Exploring the Science Behind Sophrology's Success

Sophrology, a practice that combines elements of Western relaxation techniques with Eastern meditation and mindfulness, has been gaining popularity in recent years. With its roots in psychology and neuroscience, this unique discipline is giving people a new alternative for managing stress, anxiety, and promoting personal development. But what is the science behind sophrology's success? The word "sophrology" comes from the Greek words "sos," meaning harmony, "phren," meaning mind, and "logos," meaning study or science. Developed in the 1960s by Colombian neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo, it was initially used as a therapy for psychiatric patients. Today, it has evolved into a holistic discipline that focuses on integrating the mind, body, and emotions. At the heart of sophrology lies the concept of dynamic relaxation. Unlike traditional relaxation techniques, which aim to induce a state of relaxation by focusing on the body's physical sensations or by distracting the mind, sophrology encourages individuals to be more actively engaged in the relaxation process. This is achieved through a series of physical and mental exercises, involving breathing techniques, gentle movements, visualization, and positive affirmations. The science behind sophrology's effectiveness lies in its impact on the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is responsible for regulating the body's functions that are typically outside of conscious control, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. It consists of two branches: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), responsible for the body's stress response, and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), responsible for the body's relaxation response. When we are under stress, our SNS is activated, resulting in the "fight or flight" response. This leads to increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and heightened alertness. On the other hand, the PNS promotes a state of relaxation, characterized by slow and deep breathing, a slower heart rate, and a feeling of calmness. Sophrology techniques activate the PNS, allowing individuals to shift from a state of stress to a state of relaxation. Research has shown that sophrology can have a positive impact on various aspects of well-being. Studies have demonstrated that it can reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall mood. These benefits are attributed to the activation of the PNS, which triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and endorphins, known for their mood-boosting and pain-relieving properties. Moreover, sophrology can also improve cognitive functioning by enhancing focus, concentration, and learning abilities. This is due to the fact that sophrology exercises stimulate certain brain areas, including the prefrontal cortex, responsible for executive functions such as decision-making and problem-solving. By practicing sophrology regularly, individuals can strengthen these cognitive abilities and enhance their overall mental resilience. Another fascinating aspect of sophrology is its impact on our mindset and perception. Through visualization and positive affirmations, individuals can tap into the power of their imagination to cultivate a positive outlook on life. This psychological component of sophrology is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which suggests that our thoughts and beliefs influence our feelings and behavior. By consciously rewiring our thought patterns, sophrology can help individuals transform negative thought patterns into positive ones, leading to a more optimistic and fulfilling life. In conclusion, the science behind sophrology's success lies in its ability to activate the body's relaxation response and modulate the autonomic nervous system. By combining physical and mental exercises, sophrology can promote deep relaxation, reduce anxiety, improve cognitive functioning, and enhance overall well-being. As more people seek holistic approaches to manage stress and find inner harmony, sophrology's unique blend of science and mindfulness is proving to be an effective tool for personal growth and self-care.

SAY NO TO THE WINTER BLUES WITH SOPHROLOGY.

A terrifying anxiety Agoraphobia, fear of others, fear of oneself in front of others are terrifying anxieties for those who suffer from it on a daily basis. They can be truly disabling. Discover the keys to identifying and managing them with our sophrologist Anna Bavencoffe.

Learn more about it today.

They say you're a little nervous, but lately you've been avoiding certain places. It is not the crowd that panics you, but the fact that it prevents you from being free: free to go out, free to be yourself, free to lose control. And that's the panic.

From the first symptoms of anxiety, which you now recognize, you feel fear invading you to your breaking point: your internal temperature rises, redness appears, your heart races, perhaps you are trembling, or you have already fainted or wanted to put your life in danger.

So to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, you run away, preferring to leave your shopping at the supermarket, spend time in the bathroom while your friends are waiting for you at a restaurant table, or take the emergency lane and take the first exit on the motorway.

These situations have become your obsession, preventing you from living. Perhaps these panic attacks even prevent you from having a job, from getting out of the house, from seeing your friends and family. Yet you too, "before" you were "normal", you didn't calculate how many people were separating you from the emergency exit, maybe the look of others was already bothering you, but not to this extent. Today, it has become a hell.

Have you noticed that the more you tried to control the situation, the worse it got and the more anxious you became? Do you have to accept to panic in front of others, to be ashamed of this body that no longer responds normally, that sweats your fears? Yes and no. It is the fear of being afraid that creates this rise in anxiety: an emotional disturbance called agoraphobia.

How can I free myself from fear?

The first thing to do is to learn to stop being afraid of the first symptoms of anxiety. A panic attack is the consequence of a system of thoughts that are being set up at that very moment. To modify it, I invite you to slow down your breathing and to concentrate on your body as it relaxes. Accept that symptoms of anxiety may appear. This will ease the crisis. To reduce the underlying anxiety, avoid coffee, alcohol, sugar, and learn to identify everything that stresses you in your daily life: too much time on video games, on social networks, the company of certain people. Sophrology to get out of your anxieties

I advise you to contact a sophrologist who will help you to better manage your emotions on a daily basis, to become aware of self-destructive thoughts and to transform them in order to free yourself from these anxieties. Consider that this ordeal is a beautiful opportunity to transform an unhappiness present in you for a long time but which was not expressed and that you will come out of it grown, happy and more in phase with yourself: your personality, your values, your dreams.

HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR EMOTIONS?

Whether positive or negative, emotions have a natural function, they act on the mental state as well as on the physical state. Recognizing them and expressing them to free oneself from them is therefore essential to live in harmony with one's feelings and preserve one's health.

Muriel Valentin, Coach and Sophrologist of the Medoucine network, explains to us how emotions act within us, and why it is important to learn how to welcome them, accept them, to better express and manage them. Managing emotions doesn't mean cutting them off!

Understanding emotions

Emotions are natural reactions that are rather brief and intense and are often emotionally related. They are most often manifested when one is faced with an unexpected situation through reactions in the body and mind. It is therefore a psychological reaction due to our subjective interpretation of the situation that triggers a physiological reaction and that will push us to act accordingly, this is called "emotional reaction". This is where the famous knots in the stomach, the lump in the throat, blushing or stuttering, sweating and sweaty hands, crying, trembling, etc., originate. A whole range of physical demonstrations that allow the body to externalize the brain's feelings and interpretations.

Discover more relating to this here.

The interest in recognizing an emotion allows us to accept ourselves as we are, but not to identify with it. It is important not to confuse what we feel and how we act, we are not an emotion, we have an emotion.

For both physical and mental health, it is important to know how to communicate what is happening inside us. The goal is not to prevent ourselves from feeling emotions, but to know how to recognize and express them.

Recognizing and verbalizing an emotion allows us to analyze what it indicates to us, an essential guide to understand ourselves and also an indicator for others to improve our relationships. Emotions thus allow us to better understand what is good for us, what suits us or not. They also allow us to create more authentic links with others.

Their expression allows us to free ourselves from them rather than keeping them in ourselves so as not to pollute our bodies. The fact of constantly taking on oneself, of not expressing sadness, anger or fear, for example, can trigger well-known physical disorders such as ulcers, back pain, sciatica, and can weaken our lungs, our heart, damage our liver, our kidneys. Thus, knowing how to recognize and express one's emotions will be really beneficial for the body as well as the mind. But it is still necessary to know how to proceed.

The recognition of emotions in practice Coaching and sophrology exercises help to develop these feelings and awareness to live in harmony with one's emotions.

Thus, to recognize and understand an emotion in everyday life, we will try to return to the feelings, identify the sensations and try to make the link between them and what may have caused them (thought, memory, images, sensations). We will take care to ask ourselves if we have already felt similar sensations, and in what context. Above all, we will ask ourselves what we need behind this emotion in order to transform it into awareness and make it useful.

To do this, we can, for example, write down what we always feel using the "I", talking only about ourselves. If the emotion is provoked by a person who has not recognized your request or your need, you can also write down what you would like to say to him in order to externalize it. Writing is a very good way to work on one's emotions and to become aware that "What is on the paper is no longer inside me".

For intense emotions and in emergency situations, it can be difficult to have a practice of recognition and observation. In order not to be overwhelmed, we will use belly breathing techniques in these cases in order to lower the stress level at first.

Then, we will try to localize the emotion in our body by paying attention to our sensations, we will focus on these perceptions without judging them. We will imagine that our breathing is where the emotion is located in order to relieve the symptoms and then we will defocus on the malaise by replacing negative thoughts with alternative and positive thoughts.

The goal is that this type of exercise practiced regularly becomes a reflex, an automatism that we will develop as an intuition that leads to an awareness of one's identity in order to free oneself and live healthily with one's emotions.

How to deal with stress and anxiety

Stress, anxiety, parasitic thoughts sometimes result in psychosomatic symptoms: lump in the stomach or in the throat, tension in the back or in the trapezius muscles, migraine, nausea, tinnitus, and can generate, for example, disorders food and sleep or evolve into anxiety attacks and sometimes even into phobias. It is therefore important to know how to “stop the bleeding in time”. So how can we rethink our way of life so that we are no longer subject to the diktat of external pressures?

Combat stress and anxiety

Preserve your vitality

Vitality is the shield, it is the guardian of our health. It gives our body the ability to self-repair, self-heal. In all alternative medicine, whether Asian or Western, it is the most precious good.

In this "fast" society, we "physically, psychologically and emotionally" absorb more than we can "eliminate" and it is this "emotional overload" that brings us stress, anxiety, anguish, depression, or even more serious illnesses. So take the time!

Is stress or anxiety ruining your life?

Consult online immediately or by appointment

Tame your anxiety attacks

An anxiety or panic attack is uncontrollable and occurs following a catalyzing event, a triggering situation, or sometimes even for no apparent reason. In some cases, the subject feels it coming, in other cases it is sudden. Breathing changes, you are cold then hot then you feel clammy, you feel your heart beating, you are afraid. With the breathing exercises offered with Sophrology, we learn to disengage, to delay the process or in any case to manage it. Through projection, through positive visualization, we boost the ability to cope. Crises become less frequent because we know we have the tools to deal with them. You learn to arm yourself in the face of anxiety-provoking situations, and to overcome them.

about:blank

Release your anxiety

Hypnosis and Sophrology are quite effective techniques because they will mobilize the body, the mind, the breath. Sophrology, for example, allows a rereading of the situation that generates stress, helps to relax and take a step back. Through targeted psycho-corporal work, you will be able to either take certain decisions with serenity, or distance yourself from the disorder to better tame it afterwards, or transform stress into a driving force for your future actions (productive stress).

Be careful, these brief and gentle therapies act in addition to traditional medicine. Unfortunately, it will sometimes be necessary to treat with conventional medicine via anxiolytics and/or antidepressants if the symptoms persist and worsen.

Revise your lifestyle

Beyond the support of brief therapies, it will above all be a question of revising our lifestyles and thinking about life.

And this is based first of all on good food hygiene, made up of good choices of nutrients and eating habits (stop sugar, fat, industrial and stops compulsions, snacking), but also on good hygiene lifestyle including breathing, gentle physical activities, rest and refocusing, contact with nature and harmonious human relationship

How playing sports reduces stress

SPORTS: A MEDICINE FOR STRESS

Sporting activity is the best ally in the battle against worries and stress. The number of people who are stressed out has risen in recent years. Nobody is immune to stress; it permeates virtually in every home, work, housework, and other daily activities as well. As long as the stress is not serious, reducing it is simpler than it may appear, and sports are the best way to do so. But why engage in sports?

Regular participation in sports has been shown to help people feel less stressed and anxious. Three to four sessions each week, lasting at least 30 minutes, are ideal. Depending on the person's goals, it may change. Sporting activity is a sure sign of good health and happiness.

How to use sports to combat stress?

Because we release hormones that enhance our wellbeing when we exercise, we believe that sports reduce stress levels. They make us feel more secure and less stressed, and they improve our mood.

For instance, endorphins are referred to as the "happy hormones" since they make us feel good. They also lessen the hormone cortisol, which is produced when we are stressed. After a workout session, we feel better and less worried because of this.

On the other hand, when engaging in sports, we should concentrate on the exercises we are performing at the time, on correctly performing them, and on persevering through the minutes associated with each exercise. This will enable us to detach from the stress that has been building up throughout the day. At this time if you are looking for sports equipment online then Thetidkes is Best online sport shop in India with all types of sports goods Like cricket equipment, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, and Badminton racket at an affordable price. For more information, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram or you can Email us on info@thetidkes.com.

Additionally, by concentrating on our bodies functioning optimally, we are able to establish a mind-body connection, which will improve our ability to control our feelings and actions, among other things.

With all of this, we will practise without consciously considering our issues, our upcoming tasks, or our previous actions. It is an effective method for letting go of tension and relaxing. After working out, we will feel exhausted but at ease, proud of ourselves for the effort we put into the exercises, and have a lot more energy and strength to carry on.

Playing Sports is the key to being fit

Playing sports regularly will also cause our bodies to go through a number of modifications. It will change, get more muscle, burn fat, and we'll all lose weight, among other things. Our self-esteem and mood will rise since we will feel good about our appearance and proud of the accomplishments we have made.

Sports and mental health

Regular physical and mental stress alleviation is provided by sports and exercise, which can benefit conditions including depression and anxiety. Excessive stress frequently causes or makes depression and anxiety worse.

Participating in sports can boost your sense of self-worth and self-efficacy, which can assist to lower your overall stress level. If you've ever been inactive for a long time, you're familiar with the sluggish, apathetic sensation that may soon develop into sentiments of self-hatred or even melancholy, which can worsen your stress levels. Regular exercise can boost your sense of worth, which can be a potent stress-relieving strategy, according to the American Council on Exercise.

Relaxation is a fantastic substitute if thinking about sports makes you lethargic and unenthusiastic. For instance, yoga, which is based on a concept of wellbeing, can assist in resolving the minor issues that arise in daily life. Yoga focuses mostly on breathing but also on body posture, which enables you to focus on the good and ward off any tension you may be experiencing. You can try meditation or sophrology in addition to yoga, both of which are effective stress-reduction techniques.

Endnote: As you can see, participating in regular exercise not only relieves stress but also has a number of additional advantages. Don't wait to begin your workout if you want to reap its benefits.

incoherent rant under the cut

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I’m screaming here because I can’t scream at work. I wish, though.

I’m stressed and tired and my anxiety and this wonderful technique of “I’ll just everything inside and die one day” isn’t paying off. Anxiety has been going through the roof lately, peaking in a oh so wonderful anxiety attack two Wednesday ago, which sent me to the ER because I though I was doing hyperthyroïdism.

Waking up and getting out of bed is an ordeal, going to the car and driving has me terrified because I keep thinking “what will happen if I have an attack????” I’ve been scared of dying for almost two weeks and the worst in all that is that it’s only MY BRAIN messing up.

And what’s even more messed up is that I’m unable to create anything and I just see the days going by and everyone out there being so creative and productive and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry and also for my throat to stop feeling as if it’ll double in size and strangle me.

UGH.

Also work. Work is great. I love work. I love work so much that I’m scared to death about losing it. Which doesn’t help with anxiety attacks. Because I work less well. And I just want to stay home and cry.

I can’t eat in the morning, I feel icky and tired and just generally bad and I HATE MY BRAIN.

On a more positive note, I did two sophrology sessions which turned out great. Now, if I could implement that kind of relaxation in my everyday life...

I also need to find an hobby that doesn’t involve sitting before a computer. And a psychologist.

There.

I just want this day to be over.
