Mindway : Mindfulness Meditation, Sleep, ASMR

Mindway is a free fitness and health and social app from Mindway VR built around mindfulness, relaxation and sleep. It combines guided meditation with calm 3D landscapes and small interactive exercises, and its goal is to help you form healthy mental habits one short session at a time. It arrived on the Meta Horizon Store on January 24, 2023.

What you can do

The app is split into bite-sized pieces so a session fits into a busy day. You can meditate, unwind, talk things through or drift off to sleep, depending on what you need. The developer says its content is grounded in science and that the app checks in with you as you go. The store page lists these parts:

• Meditation journeys on themes such as confidence, coping with anxiety and self-love.
• A daily mindfulness practice to return to.
• ASMR sessions and sleep stories, which the studio calls "digital sleeping pills".
• An original soundtrack that accompanies the environments.
• Live community events every week.

The listing also calls Mindway the highest rated meditation app on Quest; that is the developer's own claim.

Multiplayer

The store lists both single-user and multiplayer modes. The shared side of Mindway is its weekly live events and community sessions, which you attend together with other users; the guided meditations and sleep content work on your own.

Comfort

Meta rates Mindway as comfortable for most people. You can use it sitting, standing or in room-scale mode, and it is controlled with Touch controllers. Because so much of the content is about slowing down, a seated session is the natural fit for most users.
