For member companies and their employees, the ASTF offers sophrology sessions, a simple and natural method to help restore optimism and serenity.
What is sophrology ?
Sophrology is a dynamic relaxation method inspired by oriental disciplines such as Zen, yoga, meditation and adapted to our western lifestyle.
This discipline takes into account a person as a whole, in his or her physical and mental dimension. It will allow to make the link between body and mind to bring well-being and relaxation.
Practicing Sophrology allows you to relax in a simple and natural way with breathing, muscle relaxation and visualization exercises.
In practice:
Sophrology can be practiced by everyone, regardless of age or physical condition and can be practiced anywhere, without any equipment or accessories or special ambiance, only a pleasant environment is recommended. Based on our breathing, it will allow a progressive relaxation of our body and mind.
Sessions are held in a comfortable position, preferably with eyes closed and guided by the animator's voice. They can be practiced individually or in groups, face-to-face or remotely.
How is a session held?
After receiving a brief description of the session from the sophrologist, each participant will chose a comfortable position. The practice then consists to focus on oneself and one's breathing to gradually bring about a relaxation of the body and mind, through a few contraction or relaxation exercises. Through different techniques, such as exercises to visualize an object or a pleasant moment, attention will turn to emotions and positive sensations.
These repeated positive experiences will allow us to anchor positive emotions in our consciousness and to apprehend events more serenely.
