Thrive Guide to 10 New Journeys in AmDTx

Some of the most exciting work we are pursuing at MI is the development of medical-grade training programmes for specific patient populations and wellness cohorts. This includes novel mindfulness-based support for paediatric concussion and cancer patients as well as customised workplace wellness and resilience programmes. 

Because these special Journeys are unlocked by prescription from physicians or via an employer, they remain hidden from public view for the most part. And that's okay. By design, these Journeys address challenges and circumstances that are not relevant to those of us fortunate enough to be living in good health in our day-to-day lives. 

But let's be clear — at MI we are committed to the fundamental principle that in healthcare, as in life, prevention is better than cure. How could it be any other way? 

All of this to announce the launch of 10 new Journeys in AmDTx, available to all. Spanning five languages, the Journeys incorporate evidence based mindfulness practices into unique, accessible and creative experiences exploring the themes of everyday living, gentle movement, and mindful attitudes. The Journeys are intended to support your mental and physical resilience, helping to relieve stress and improve sleep, and excel in all that you do. On top of that, we are also launching the first iteration of a social meditation experience in French. Allons-y!

If you haven’t already, download AmDTx and explore. Summaries of the new Journeys below (and many more to come). Enjoy and as always, let us know your thoughts about all that we are doing here at MI.

日常正念 (Everyday Mindfulness)

Each lesson is designed for a specific activity we do in our daily life, including breathing. The intention is to inject mindfulness into everyday living. This helps bring peace and focus to our lives, making every moment a richer experience.

Guided by Apsara Ma

看、摸、听 (See, Touch, Listen)

How do you understand the world? What role does instinct play in your daily life? When and where is mindfulness accessible to you? Explore these questions and deepen your self-knowledge with the help of these simple mindfulness practices. 

Guided by Yama ​(俞亮)

German Language Journeys

Innen und Außen (Inside and Outside)

This Journey offers an introduction to mindfulness through the practice of meditation and the development of the mindful qualities of calm, balance, openness, and resilience through the practice of guided visualisations.

Guided by Tatini Schmidt and Mathias Gugel

Bewegen, Atmen und Bewegen (Move, Breathe & Move)

Our first and last act as humans is to breathe. In between, we move our bodies and our minds in constant synchronicity. Each stage of this journey alternates between a movement and a breathing exercise. Take the time to explore the relationship between your body in motion and your breathing at rest.

Guided by Tatini Schmidt and Nils Altner

English Language Journeys 

Stillness

These immobility practices relax the body to help the mind come to rest. Stillness an internal state of being that takes time to develop. Reject distractions. Be deliberate in your intentions and actions to remain still. Practice patience. Treat yourself with compassion as you engage in this practice developing inner peace.

Guided by Dr. Bechara Saab

Planking

The word “planking" refers to mimicking a wooden plank. The exercises strengthen your core muscles, including your abs and back. But just like most things in life, half of a workout is in your mind!
