They asked themselves: What if the teachings of that book, condensed into an app, could help many people change their attitude towards their own lives, initiating transformational processes? And what if Lakhiani's meditation techniques could encourage many more people to meditate? Since this meditation method is so easy, why not introduce children to the Six Phase technique? Instead of creating a training app, why not design a long-term training so that users can change their habits? And what if recruiting new meditators could result in improving the planet's health through a change in attitude on their part?
The answer to their questions was Magic Fungi School, a training platform via apps, aiming to become the world's first factory for conversational avatars of mental hygiene. These "Habitstransformers" are based on AI, the philosophy of the Mindvalley Movement, and the knowledge of the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual state of the users that they transfer to the avatars in their conversations.
Their main mission is to help people transform their lives while changing their habits through very simple and entertaining specialized training programs. It's about changing habits as if it were a family game.
The objective of these avatars is to assist undiagnosed individuals with mental disorders who wish to transform their lives and/or habits through personal growth techniques. Or individuals who have faced setbacks in their lives such as prisoners, people with dependencies, defeated entrepreneurs. Or individuals facing challenges in their lives such as entrepreneurs, master's students. Or individuals recovering from serious illnesses. Or families who want their children to start the habit of meditation.
To kick-start the project, they designed 2 phases:
Phase I: Development of Mindkidness. An app for families who want to transform their habits simultaneously, supporting each other, featuring me, a unidirectional conversational avatar integrated with various complementary content pieces:
- Mindfunginess. This comprises 40 training sessions of 20 minutes for adults, consisting of a theoretical part of 4/4 minutes, exercises of about 8 minutes, and 8 minutes of meditation reflection accompanied by relaxing nature music and images.
- Mindfunness Adults. 20 meditation sessions to learn a very simple type of meditation, called the Six Phases by Vishen Lakhiani, to use this spiritual tool for life or habit changes that the user decides. The sessions incorporate music generated by mushroom waves and relaxing fractal images.
- Mindfunness Kids. Training aimed at children to learn a non-contemplative meditation through stories that teach children about compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and similar topics, turning these values into superpowers they can acquire. The training is designed for children to practice meditation alongside adults.
- Mindgymness. Practical training for children and adults to reinforce their habit changes for 10 months after practicing Mindfunginess and Mindfunness, respectively. The tools used include forms, individual alerts, shared alerts, test forms, and statistics.
Phase II: Mindkidness 2.0.
In this phase, they plan to develop a set of personalized conversational avatars with holo-bot interfaces managed by AI, to engage in bidirectional conversations with users from their bedside tables on mental hygiene topics. This phase is expected to be developed from July 2024.
Each family can choose the interface of their holo-avatar, with which to interact (within a holographic pyramid) from their bedside table.
The knowledge acquired about the user during Phase I by the AI platform will be used to engage in conversations about mental hygiene, along with the addition of new content in each new conversation.
And here we are, my team and I, with the launch of a first App about Mindkidness that aims to evolve into a speaking virtual assistant based on Artificial Intelligence specialized in mental hygiene. For its production, we need clients who not only subscribe to the app but also donate, in an anonymized manner, data on their progress and setbacks to provide feedback to the AI that brings the Phase 2 speaking avatar to life.
Have a good day and remember to do something today for the planet.
