FitMind is a meditation & mental fitness training company, using an understanding of neuroscience and psychology to improve mental health. The FitMind meditation app teaches a variety of contemplative techniques.
FitMind is an in-depth, systematic meditation training program delivered in an app. We created meditations and lessons by consulting neuroscientist and monks alike, and have taught these methods in workshops at Fortune 500 companies, schools and more.
Hey Product Hunters,
First of all thank you to @bramk for hunting FitMind and to @razkarmi , who originally hunted it!
When I was younger, I was diagnosed with OCD and then ADHD. I tried everything from therapy to pills, but nothing worked all that well. Finally I discovered a powerful tool for gaining control of my mind: meditation. With practice, I was able to eventually get off of the pills and reclaim my sanity.
A couple of years ago, I quit my job in finance to study meditation full-time in Asia and later started FitMind, teaching meditation at schools, non-profits, Fortune 500 companies, and government organizations. We wanted to scale this program, so we decided to build an app.
The FitMind app brings a scientific approach to meditation and explains how each technique systematically trains the mind. You can think of it as a mental trainer + psychological user manual for the mind. We consulted neuroscientists and monks alike (see the guests on the FitMind Podcast) in building this meditation program, which goes deep into over 25 different techniques (such as Headless Way, Self-Inquiry, Cancel-Cancel, Yoga Nidra, Lucid Dreaming and Actualism), as opposed to most other apps that primarily just teach mindfulness meditation (not that there is anything wrong with this, but there are so many other techniques that train the mind in unique ways!).
I dream of a world in which our society pays as much attention to our "mental fitness" as we do our physical fitness. Hopefully this app can help. Looking forward to your feedback and questions!
Much love,
Liam
@liammccl Hi Liam, FitMind looks awesome! How about an interview about it at StartupRadius.com? Send me an email to Paul(at)StartupRadius.com if interested!
My meditation journey has been rough, tried different products and take the premium plans but the result has not been the most impactful. Everytime I'm looking to meditate, it was always dreadful, it's one of those things that you do for the sake of doing it.
It's only been 7 days and I felt FitMind changes the way I view meditation. I keep coming back to it, feeling so curious, I want to learn more. The scientific explanation really helps to set the "why" and thus convince me to improve. I even listen to their podcasts which are a great additional collection of knowledge on top of the foundation the app is building. I just took the monthly premium plan (thanks goodness they don't only offer yearly plan because it sucks) and continue to learn more from Liam and others.
