Did you know that when we are stressed for long periods of time, our cortisol levels (stress hormone) gets elevated which causes us to be more irritable, increases our blood pressure, and may increase anxiety or a depressive mindset? Be gentle with yourself, connect with your breathe and lower your stress levels. 💖The Kokon at the Nordic Next Conference. . . . . #thekokon #stress #kokon #nordicnext #resilience #mindful #meditation #sound #scent #felt #upcycled #sustainable #neuroscience #tech #startup #womenintech #innovation #zen #wellbeing #hr #weave #design #conference #event #popup #sdgs #kindness #vulnerability #emotional #wellness #health #care #selfcare #mentalhealth (at High Court)

😇Throwback Tuesday 😇That time we used EEG to measure how the Kokon affects brainwaves. It worked the way we intended! Now, the next step is to do an actual scientific evaluation to see how the Kokon effects the brain over time. ... Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. ... Fun things that happen at @singularityucph Summit. #thekokon #sudksummit #brainwaves #eeg (at Copenhagen, Denmark)

Sound has the capacity to affect people's lives on all levels - physical, emotional, and mental. The Kokon uses the healing and transformative quality of sound from a scientific point of view. It helps individuals reach a meditative state and entrain heart rate by simple immersion into the Kokon environment. A deep connected travel inside. Thank you to @bangolufsen and @beoplay for the noise cancelling headphones to enhance the experience. #thekokon #beoplay #bangolufsen (at Hub Seventeen Nyc)

🙋🏼Did you know that stress can change the grey matter in your brain? If this happens you become more prone to have a negative outlook on life and experience higher risks of depression, anxiety and other mental health related issues. This freaked us out so we try to get at least 7 minutes of Kokon or a minimum of 10 minutes of meditation daily. So people, schedule some time to recharge your mind every day 💖🌈💡#thekokon #mentalhealth .... Photo by @rasmusdegnbol (at Copenhagen Opera House)

🤖Weekend Nostalgia 🤖Exactly one year ago we launched the Kokon Pod at @mithackingarts. An important milestone for us since this was the first time we exposed the Kokon to the public. The feedback was phenomenal including "This made me feel important in my existence" and "Like a total reset. Like a soul massage" and "@facebook and @google should have like 500 of these". We could never have pulled this off by ourselves and would like to thank @mithackingarts for believing in us. Thank @situ_nyc for your emotional support and advice on how to build the first Kokon prototype. Thank @10xbeta for hosting us during our initial prototype phase. Thank @thescentinel, Kevin, Arvinth and @chen_at_yuchenzhang for helping us with the conference. We appreciate you all! #thekokon #mithackingarts (at MIT Media Lab)

The Kokon at @singularityucph Summit. We asked: how did The Kokon make you feel? "Fantastic! .. I am a speaker and sometimes feel my heart beating on stage .. I normally meditate to deal with anxiety but this time the Kokon helps a lot .. every larger accelerator like @ycombinator and events like @slushhq should have a Kokon as a tool for moderators to bring their best self" 🙏🏼 We agree and use it ourselves to calm nerves and get focused. *** pre order your Kokon Pod here: www.thekokon.com *** #thekokon #sudksummit #ycombinator #slush (at Copenhagen Opera House)
