The Heart of the Matter

The Chair of JOY Experience has undergone a remarkable evolution, solidifying its position as a truly impactful and one-of-a-kind adventure.

The experience aimed to celebrate the inherent greatness within each individual, embracing vulnerability without judgment.

While aspects of the experience evolved over time, the core intent remained constant: to empower people to shift their emotional state in a fun and accessible way. Through interactive activities and thought-provoking prompts like ‘containers of joy’, ‘imagine if you were’, and ‘what would you say’, participants embarked on a deeply personal journey that elicited various profound emotions.

Feel

JOY, The Universal Language: "Sit, Breathe, Think, Feel

After extensive research, we discovered the profound meanings behind the simple terms “sit, breathe, think, feel.” These words carry deep significance across cultures, transcending languages and boundaries. In a world focused on material possessions, these basic actions may seem insignificant, yet they are vital to our well-being. Without them, we are merely existing rather than truly living.

The Chair of JOY® Experience and the four words—sit, breathe, think, and feel—offer a moment to pause and reflect on what we truly want and need. They help us connect deeply with ourselves and the world around us, allowing us to experience all our emotions fully. Even in chaos and overwhelm, we can let the weight of the world take a back seat for a few minutes, giving ourselves a chance to elevate. This is how we elevate human consciousness; the human experience awaits us to stop and step into the good feelings, focus on what we want, and get more of it. It’s that simple!

From birth, we are promised hope that things will work out for us. Yet, joy often seems elusive and fleeting. However, at JOYELY, we believe joy is our inherent right and fundamental to our lives and our future for generations to come. We are asking that we come together to reclaim our birthright, realizing that we can create more solutions together.

Science supports the benefits of these simple actions. Research on heart-brain coherence shows that positive emotions like joy can synchronize heart rhythms and brainwaves, leading to improved mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being. Additionally, studies have shown that practicing mindfulness can reduce stress and increase happiness.

At JOYELY, we’ve observed that when we “sit, breathe, think, feel,” even for 60 seconds, we reconnect with our inner selves. Sitting brings us to the present, breathing promotes relaxation, mindful thinking encourages positive reflection, and feeling our emotions strengthens resilience. Simplicity holds great power in helping us understand ourselves better. The Chair of JOY is the universal language and an essential life skill; like a muscle, it can be strengthened. And when we learn it with a colleague, friend, family member, or child, the impact is profound.

The Chair of JOY and the four words—sit, breathe, think, and feel—surpass cultural barriers and unite us as human beings. They speak to our collective memories and remind us that joy has no limits and is inclusive of all. By integrating the Chair of JOY Experience into our daily routines, we nurture all emotions through our brains and bodies and move them through our hearts, where we find serenity, understanding, and determination. This empowers us to live with more joy and fortitude.
