Mockup for an installation inspired by Dr. Herbert Benson's Relaxation Response. The material measures body temperature, indicating level of blood flow to the hands. Typically, decreased blood flow to the extremities indicates that the person is entering fight or flight, or the Stress Response. Herbert Benson, MD named the opposite of this state, the Relaxation Response, characterized by ease, calm, and ... increased blood flow to the extremities. This installation would serve as a gentle reminder to take some deep breaths and be in the present moment to combat stress.
