A new, interactive way to meditate
Hey y’all! My name is Hope Watkins and I am a mental health counselor. One of the things I love sharing with my clients is the value of meditation, especially visualizing images. But one of the most common things I hear is, “I can’t visualize things.” or “I just don’t have a very good imagination.” So I decided to develop a new kind of meditation app that provides the visualization that some people lack, AND users can interact with the visualizations. This isn’t your normal meditation app! Contributors like you can help expand the use of meditation in an interactive, game-like way, full of relaxing scenes.
We are in the last phase of the app development which costs $68,000. All the funds raised will go toward finishing the final phase of development so the app can hit the stores for download.
We understand that everyone is in different situations, so we offer perks for various funding levels. Everyone who donates will have their name listed on our website as a big shout-out for helping make this app a reality. Those who donate will receive different levels of access to the premium version. The premium version of the app will give you access to all the visualization scenes within the app.
Visualization meditation consists of using one’s imagination or mind’s eye to view what one wants in life and reducing negative and distressing thoughts.
Users will be provided with visual scenes and enter their thoughts into the projected scenery much like guided meditations prompt one to interact with mental images in one’s mind. This app will help those who can’t pull up visual images in particular but it can be useful for anyone looking for a new, interactive way to practice visualization meditation. This app is great for all ages!
While there are many established meditation apps on the market, we believe that Blissful Minds addresses the gap in the meditation market. With our interactive scenes, those who struggle with audio-only meditations can finally experience the benefits of meditation.
We are well aware of the frustration that comes from finding a great app, only to find out that you can only access it by signing up for a monthly subscription. While we offer unlimited access to all the interactive scenes for $5/month, we also offer a freemium model to a limited set of scenes.
While this app is not a substitution for mental health therapy, get peace of mind knowing that the interactive scenes will offer written prompts to guide you through working through distressing thoughts and emotions. These prompts use elements of CBT and DBT interventions.
We would love contributions to our project in any amount. Every little bit helps! Please spread the word with family and friends with the Indiegogo share tools.
