1. Sophrology

   Sophrology is a dynamic relaxation method developed by neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo from 1960 to 2001 and includes physical and mental exercises to promote health and well-being. Sophrology has been called “a method, a practice and a philosophy” that uses the mind-body connection to increase awareness and conscious living, with the aim of enabling individuals to create more balance and harmony in themselves and in the world around them.The influences on Sophrology include phenomenology, hypnosis, yoga, Tibetan Buddhism meditation, Japanese Zen meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, psychology, neurology, and the method created contains a set of exercises that combine breathing and relaxation techniques, gentle movement, creative visualisation, meditation, and mindfulness.It claims beneficial uses in a number of areas ranging from self-development to well-being although there are no published studies that scientifically validate the beneficial effects, quantitative or qualitative, claimed by the Sophrology method. The practice is popular in parts of Europe. In Switzerland and France it is offered to students in schools and at least one insurance company offers reimbursement under their most expensive plan.

1. Sophrology

   Sophrology, coming from Ancient Greek σῶς / sôs, φρήν / phrēn, and -λογία / -logia, is a science founded in 1960 by Alfonso Caycedo, a Colombian neuropsychiatrist. More specifically, it is the first study of consciousness science. The word has never been protected in its public use and resulted in vulgarization in the training environment. Caycedo then finds a new name: "Caycedian Sophrology", this time filed in The Hague and patented at the WIPO.
