MEDITATION
Meditation has shown multiple health benefits, including reducing stress, improving emotional health, and increasing attention span. Studies have shown that using TouchPoints induces brain activity similar to that seen with deep meditation and sleep.
BLAST
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Scientific studies have consistently demonstrated that meditation can significantly reduce overall stress levels. Research has shown that regular meditation practices, such as mindfulness meditation or transcendental meditation, lead to changes in brain activity and the release of stress-reducing hormones, ultimately promoting relaxation and improved emotional well-being.
Studies show that within just 30 seconds of using TouchPoints, people experienced a 74% reduction in their stress levels and a 68% reduction in body sensations related to stress. This data combined with our archived data suggest that there is a consistency in offering users significant relief from physiological and psychological stress in about 30 seconds.
A LASTING SOLUTION
When using TouchPoints™ consistently to meditate, overtime you may not need them as frequently as stressful events may feel less stressful because of your TouchPoints™. One of the ways BLAST works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of TouchPoints™, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause stress.

USER SPOTLIGHT
" Have helped my stress level and anxiety tremendously. I wear them on my way to work for anxiety and the way home for stress relief. I also wear them during my nightly yoga and meditation!! If you are thinking about getting them just do it! You won’t regret it!”
- Janice King
“I have noticed that for meditation, the touchpoints work the best for me. So if I choose a guided meditation around whatever purpose I want to achieve, the devices are a great help. My roommate has worn the touchpoints during times when he feels anxious about having guests. With him, I notice they ground him so much more and he feels more comfortable using them. This makes them think even more benefit can be seen from the outside perspectives.”
