A Shortcut to Happiness?
A Shortcut to Happiness?
“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”
John Steinbeck
Instead, we focus on recruiting the cognitive capacities of our mind despite the well-documented effects of emotions on our ability to reason. This completely ignores the need to engage our in-built safety system of our brain, by involving the whole body and our surroundings before we try to influence our thinking and our feelings. Combining the ‘top-down’ approach, to activate social engagement, with the ‘bottom-up’ method, to calm the physical tensions in the body, seems to be the only way to really influence the core of our emotional state so we are able to feel safe.
Something is forming. Regulation is revolution.
Not a brand launch
A soft opening of a deeper question
Sublimated is not a product. It’s a process. A long-term experiment in nervous system intelligence, designed emotion and spiritual cognition.
A platform for ideas that move through the body before they become words. A space between the nervous system and design.
What we’re building
We’re designing a new kind of practice, a felt system for deep change
We’re conducting, collecting and translating research into forms(?) we can feel and use.
Explorations, objects and rituals rooted in research and vertical downloads.
We’re not just training our thoughts. We’re rewiring the way we live.
