About Weight
The Phenomenon of Weight
Why even use weighted products? Doesn’t it just put more strain on the body than necessary?
It’s a natural thought — but it’s far from reality.
In fact, the effect is quite the opposite. The weight (up to 10% of your body weight) helps your body release tension, not tighten up.
Instead of weighing you down, it grounds you — so you stand more stable, feel yourself, and find calm in the present moment.
Weight on the body is known for its relaxing and soothing effects. You might already be familiar with weighted blankets, which are known to reduce restlessness and create a sense of grounding and increase body awareness.
We want to bring this principle to more parts of everyday life than just sleep, which is why we created the My Sphere Core weighted vest — where the weight is made portable, so you can take that sense of calm with you wherever you go.
My Sphere Core
Our weighted products are designed to give you a feeling of grounding and increased presence, even in a fast-paced everyday life.
My Sphere Core contains approximately 2.8 kg of glass sand, which naturally follows your upper body, creating a surrounding and soothing pressure.
The weight is evenly distributed across the upper body, producing a gentle pressure that helps release tension — inviting you to settle into your body, feel yourself, and breathe more deeply.
The Concrete Effect
How does it work on a deeper level?
The weight stimulates the body’s touch and proprioceptive senses. In other words, the pressure works like a hug, mimicking the sensation of being embraced.
This feeling triggers nerve fibers to send signals to the brain, which then releases the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin helps reduce the stress hormone, cortisol, lowering heart rate and blood pressure. This is why the weight has a calming effect, naturally reducing tension and restlessness.
Using a weighted product gives you a sense of coming out of your head and back into your body.
It can make your nervous system calmer.
It can make your pulse slows down.
It can make your muscles release tension.
It can make your breathing deeper.
