Announcement from the Japan Sophrology Association

Please enjoy the site with BGM.
With the maximal joy, the Japan Sophrology Association announces you the
Decoration of the Mention of Merits
conferred on President Dr. Akira Matsunaga, by the Foundation for the
Integral Development of the Sophrology -Fundeinsos, Bogota, Colombia.
As you see it in the program, the Decoration-Ceremony and the Celebration-Chorus
were followed by Special Lecture by Dr. Chavez Duarte, General Director
of the Fundeinsos, Colombia, with Theme : "Desarrollo de Sofrologia en
Sur America (Development of Sophrology in South-America) ".
We are at most satisfied with the fact that the achievement of the Japan
Sophrology Association has been recognized by Colombia, which is the birth
place of the etymology of the Sophrology. (The word "Sophrology "
was first created in 1960 by Dr.Alfonso Caicedo, a Colombian Psychiatrist.)
Moreover, Dr.Matsunaga, President of the Japan Sophrology Association
offered to the attendants a comprehensible explanation of Sophrologic Delivery
through Presentation of documentary films. In addition to the commemorative
group picture party with mothers who accomplished sophrologic delivery, we
planned to coordinate the . Not only sophrologue but also any specialist who was interested
in this alternative medicine based on affirmative way of thinking was welcome
