It’s all about touching, feeling and surrendering to the experience
The development of Gojibag sent me on journey, a journey of discovery, to experience and understand what makes us feel good when we look and touch or are touched by something or someone.
The answer came to me one morning when waking, immersed in the bliss of an intimate good morning hug with my beloved, beautiful partner.
The answer was communicated through physical embodiment, my mind understood what my body experienced.
The research and development of Gojibag took 3 years, and the production and testing of hundreds of cushions and bolsters to reach my goal, of creating the sensation of deep comfort when using Gojibag products.
A physical embodiment that is stronger than the constant chatter in our minds
The most powerful prompt for a deeply safe, connected holistic relaxation experience are the sensations and feelings of interacting touching and being touched, by another human body.
Touch is a Complete Language Rich in Depth and Colour
How Do You Experience Touch?
Touch is a profoundly powerful way of communication, a US experiment in the Sixties designed to explore ways to boost products sales in Dept. Stores, revealed that if the store assistant was to gently touch the customer on arm during the sale, the probability of the customer buying increased by 60%.
Different Types of Touch - Positive and Negative
As with any language, touch can has its own spectrum of positivity and negativity that we have all experienced during our lives.
Positive Touch
Loving Touch
Friendly Touch
Indifferent Touch
Accidental Touch
Sorry Touch
Negative Touch
Invading Touch
Hurtful Touch
Problem Touch
Aggressive touch
What does positive touch do to us?
Touching and being touched in a loving kind way, quickly induces the release of neuro-chemicals including the hormone oxytocin (the love hormone), which plays an important role in social bonding, slowing down our heart rate, and immediately reducing our levels of stress and anxiety.
The release of endorphins in our brain's reward pathways, supports an immediate feelings of pleasure and wellbeing derived from a loving touch, hug or caress.
This became my blueprint for the Gojibag feeling and experience. After years of honing and testing using a unique geometrically configured filling system, Gojibag works by letting you easily adjust to different poses and positions, while giving support while allowing air to flow upon contact with your body, keeping your you cool and fresh.
Once our bodies have relaxed and our minds have gently flowed into stillness, breathing patterns, heart rate is reduced, and mental noise dissolves......our bodies can start the process of healing and rejuvenation, relieving deep rooted stress and trauma, releasing feel good chemicals into our brains and bodies.
