Why Weighted Pressure

The science is quiet but clear: gentle pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural rest response. This deep touch mimics the sensation of being held, signaling safety to your body.

When weight settles over your eyes, stress hormones lower. Serotonin and melatonin rise. Heart rate slows. Breath deepens. Racing thoughts quiet.

This isn't distraction. This is your nervous system remembering: you are safe. you can rest now.

How to Use

Place the mask over closed eyes. Feel the weight settle.

Let darkness arrive, complete, enveloping. Your breath deepens. Your jaw unclenches. The gentle pressure signals: you can stop now.

For warmth:

For rest alone:
Room temperature. Pure darkness. Gentle weight. Sometimes this is enough.
