Have you heard the term Sensory Wellness? Do you know how to connect to your inverse? How many senses other than sight, smell, sound, touch and taste do you know?
Ari Peralta is a neuroscientist, a Forbes recognised innovator and award-winning sensory designer. Ari transitioned into neuroscience after his own trauma lead him to pivot his whole career to where he’s at now - working alongside others to create wellness-led sensory initiatives across a wide range of industries.
What is sensory wellness, you might ask? It’s going beyond the usual 5 senses and looking at how we can create healthier and happier environments, enrich experiences and also promote self-awareness in the real world and web3 aka the Metaverse. Research shows that engaging the senses can help strengthen patients emotional wellbeing and support healing, including easing feelings of depression and anxiety.
In this episode we discuss how we can go beyond our usual 5 senses to improve our own wellbeing, what a sensory reset is and how we can create it for ourselves. Ari shares how he and his team created personalised art installations of people’s genes in relation to chronotypes, how we can reframe our brains to be more creative, Ari also gives us tools to help us navigate stress and anxiety by changing the frame around a situation you not only change your perception of it, but it's meaning to you.
