What do temperature and tension have to do with stress?

Cenli helps you transition from stress to relaxation by measuring temperature and tension.

How is finger temperature related to stress?

Have you ever noticed your hands and feet getting warmer as you calm down? This is actually a sign that your body is starting to release stress. When you transition from a state of tension to relaxation, something happens in the nervous system: the sympathetic stress system calms down, and the body shifts to a more relaxed state. This allows the blood vessels in the skin to open up, improving blood circulation to the hands and feet. You may feel your skin getting warmer, and the temperature in your fingertips, for example, may approach the body's internal temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius. This is a natural sign that the body is regulating itself and finding balance.

We are developing Cenli precisely to support this natural transition from stress to relaxation, making it easier for you to find peace, recovery, and well-being in your daily life.

What does neck tension have to do with stress?

The trapezius muscle, which extends from the back of the head down between the shoulder blades, is one of the most important muscles in the neck and upper back. It is used to lift the shoulders, move the head, and keep the upper body stable. When we are stressed, the body often reacts by tensing muscles, especially in the neck and shoulders. This happens automatically as part of the body's 'fight or flight' response. Over time, the tension can become chronic, especially if you have a sedentary job, poor posture, or rarely take breaks. Many people don't notice it until they get a headache, stiff neck, or pain between the shoulder blades. Learning to relax these muscles, for example through breathing techniques or biofeedback, can reduce both tension and stress levels.

Cenli helps you connect with your trapezius muscle and release tension, allowing your body to genuinely lower your shoulders.
