The Problem

Background

There’s a movement happening.

Globally, millions are waking up to the mental, spiritual, and physical benefits of meditation and positive intention setting.

Up until now, meditations remained a deeply personal practice. However, when we open ourselves up to the collective, focused energy of the other members of our community there is a lot of power to be unlocked. We can channel our collective positive intentions, supporting one another with whatever people are going through.

We believe collective consciousness is the key to raising global awareness. Thus, we chose to provide a space to meditate, share positive intentions, and hold space for one another.

No matter which words you choose to use, we believe in supporting the mantra of the singularly focused collective. How do we facilitate a shared meditation space?

Key insights

The Solution

Overview

You open the Shared Meditation Space App and see a count of other users who are actively meditating.

You can feel the universal heartbeat and listen to their mantras.

You can sing along with the chants and place your intention into the field.

Intentions are a vital part of meditating.

It’s the focus of your session and a focal point for positive energy.

Key Features

❶  Join us - Introduce your collective energy to the field by participating in the group meditation and mantras.

❷  Set Intention - Press this button to introduce your intention into the field

❸  See Intentions - View all the intentions placed into the field

❹  Auto-Play Mantra Music - For the collective to Jam through. Music should be simulcasted to every user so they all hear the stream in parallel

❺  Mute/Unmute Mantra Music - Give users the option to join the space with the help of the mantra, or without it

Design Principles

☑️  Good intentions only

☑️  Support one another on our mindfulness journey

☑️  Enter into the void when you’re in a place of love, and positive intention setting

☑️  You’re free to participate in the mantras, or not

☑️  No need to explain your intentions. This is a space for love, and positivity

MVP Concept

As always when innovating, before building out a fully fledged product test it with an MVP!

Twitch is a very good tool you can use to run an experiment for this app with. Let people meditate all together with the conditions mentioned above via Twitch and measure the value created.

Modern Mantra Podcast

Each month we publish 4x podcasts around one of our core design themes, looking at the roots of our modern spiritual imbalance and conceptualizing new ways to use technology to help the world heal.

In our How Might We podcasts, we start with a specific design question, unearth widespread societal pain points, and conceptualize new Design Solutions that can help solve them.

In our Guest podcasts, we talk with conscious founders about their journey building heart-centered technology.

The podcast is hosted by the studio's two founders, Nick Sarafa and Elijah Johnston. Both have extensive backgrounds in all parts technology and entrepreneurship as well as personal healing journeys that involve deep work in spiritual realms.

Design This With Us

If the world is to heal and move towards a place of higher consciousness, we need new solutions. We believe that
Shared Meditation Space

is one that could help us to get there.

While this is only a concept, with the right team we could bring this to fruition. Enough small pushes like this and we can help usher in a new paradigm for the human family.

If you're a designer, product or tech person, share a similar ethos to ourselves, and see yourself in a potential leadership role, we'd be keen to hear from you. Drop us an email at ryan@modernmantra.co to kick off the conversation.

  • Co-designing with Modern Mantra

  • Create healing technology that moves the world forward.

  • Work with a team of heart-centered designers, engineers, innovators, and creatives.

  • Share in the ownership of any venture that we co-design.
