Deep Relaxation

Embark on a personalized journey where music-driven vibrations, sounds of nature, captivating colors and fragrances are mixed live to create a symphony for the senses. Cocooned in warm weighted pillows, experience dreamlike landscapes with soothing movement, tactile sensations, rolling thunderstorms, birds, mist, aromas from Earth's garden and kaleidoscopic patterns seen through closed eyes.

A Natural High

Healing arts techniques and technology are combined to offer an immersive experience that effects perception. This approach fosters heightened emotional responses, deeper relaxation, improved focus, and enhanced overall well-being, while also inducing trance-like states where time seems to stand still, and the burdens of everyday life melt away.

Senses Stimulated in Sensorium

Human perception involves a complex interplay of senses including proprioception (body position), thermoception (temperature), and equilibrioception (balance). Interoception is the body’s ability to recognize and interpret its own internal cues, such as hunger, thirst and exhaustion. These, along with the primary senses, form the **sensorium**—the brain's central hub for processing sensory data. This integration allows us to detect subtle variations in pressure, sense the direction of air movement, discern terrain through our feet and identify objects using only our hands. Together, these capabilities enable seamless interaction with our environment, highlighting our nature as intricate bundles of sensory receptors.

Sight

The visual system is responsible for the body’s sense of sight.

Sound

The auditory system detecting vibrations along some medium, such as air or water that is in contact with your ear drums.

Smell

The olfactory system is responsible for the body’s sense of smell. This sense combines with taste to produce flavors.

Touch

The tactile system is responsible for the body’s sense of touch.Touch has been found to be distinct from pressure, temperature, pain, and even itch sensors.

Taste

The gustatory system is responsible for the body’s sense of taste. You can argue this one should count for five senses by itself due to the differing types of taste receptors: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami). But generally it’s considered one sense.

External Body Awareness

The proprioceptive system is responsible for the body’s external awareness. This sense gives you the ability to tell where your body parts are, relative to other body parts. The sense that allows you to keep your balance and sense body movement in terms of acceleration and directional changes. This sense also allows for perceiving gravity.

Thermoception

Ability to sense heat and cold. This also is thought of as more than one sense because there are also thermoceptors in the brain used for monitoring internal body temperature.

Pressure

Weighted therapy stimulates the proprioceptive system through the use of deep touch pressure.

Deep Touch Pressure works on the principle of applying weight or pressure to provide proprioceptive input. This input calms and modulates the central nervous system which, in turn, aids the processing of sensory information

Time

This one is debated. No singular mechanism has been found that allows people to perceive time. However, experimental data has shown humans have a startling accurate sense of time. Interestingly people often have a warped sense of time after a Sensorium session, usually feeling as if very little time has passed.
