Mindfulness

Mindfulness is "a state of awareness that results from paying attention, intentionally, in the present moment, without judgment, to the unfolding experience moment by moment."

It allows the development of an ability to relate differently to lived experience.

Exercising mindfulness is close to what Gestalt therapy means by awareness: it is about centering oneself, grounding oneself, exercising one's vigilance, awakening to oneself and to the world using all one's senses.

Take the time to sit or pose in the right outfit, in the right form and do nothing except slip into full attention to the coming and going of the breath.

Mindfulness helps to shift from doing mode to being mode. Being mode helps to move away from ruminations and open up to simple happiness and inner calm.

It is a strengthening tool to be more emotionally stable, to better enjoy existence, to be fully aware of what is experienced here and now.

Connecting to the present moment allows a step back that happens naturally. The feeling of what is being experienced becomes clearer with more discernment. It allows the mind to be soothed and another to be established.

Sophrology

Sophrology is a psychocorporeal approach designed by Professor Alfonso Caycédo who was a doctor and neuropsychiatrist. It is inspired by Western techniques and knowledge (relaxation, neuroscience, psychology, hypnosis, etc.) and Eastern practices (yoga, meditation, Zen). Sophrology connects us to our body by listening to our bodily sensations. It helps to soothe the mind, release muscular tension and regulate emotional balance.

This practice, while allowing you to calm down, allows you to approach life in a more positive and serene way.

It is a gentle method which contributes to the overall balance of the individual.

The practice of sophrology allows, over the course of the sessions, to reestablish the link and balance between the body and the mind.

This rediscovered connection allows you to regain self-esteem and improve your quality of presence to yourself and to others.

The more sophrology is practiced, the more it provides means of help and action to maintain stability and the necessary distance when faced with certain destabilizing and stressful situations in life.

The 5 senses are an integral part of our daily lives: smelling, tasting, listening, seeing and touching consciously allows us to return to calm and free ourselves from tension. They allow us to return to ourselves, to our interiority and to return to calm.

Practiced with active bodily listening, they open doors to meet and experience the relational and social world differently, they change the feeling and perception of a situation and help to take a different look at oneself and the environment.

The educational use of the senses constitutes in itself a method of relaxation which allows one to modify one's states of consciousness.

This work helps to enrich the sensory capacities of a wide audience (children, adolescents, adults, elderly people, etc.) with varied specificities (sensory disabilities, concentration and memorization difficulties, social isolation, etc.), and in different intervention contexts (school and educational, associative, social and reception, therapeutic and hospital, retirement homes, etc.).

The link and the animal at the heart of the link

The animal will help create a bond and well-being by taking the time, in a secure, caring environment and with respect for everyone.

Unique moments of sharing, exchanges, and experience, this work allows us to develop the ability to recreate links, to trust and to rely on resource people.

It is learning a new way of being connected to gain freedom and be able to make positive choices for oneself and break with isolation.
