Move to go within - understanding thoughts and emotions through movement

Senself enables individuals to express their emotions through physical movement in a private and safe space. Specific sounds and sensations encourage them to go into a relaxed state where they can feel free to identify and translate their feelings and thoughts into physical expressions.

Starting in a softly lit room, free of any objects, you are able to dive into your mind through guided meditation which generates a connection with your inner self.  Movement is captured by the system and recorded through digital imagery, giving feedback by creating a correlation between specific movements and emotions through pattern recognition.

Senself translates emotions from lines and shapes, helping people embrace and understand their feelings better. This tool for self-expression is suitable for everyone. However, Senself was deeply inspired by people with Alexithymia, who face difficulties in understanding and/or expressing emotions. With the aim of improving mental health, it provides an opportunity to communicate assertively.
