People currently use traditional meditation techniques to relax and release stress, but some either feel like it's daunting or just can’t afford to take the classes to learn these techniques.
‘Namastay’ takes inspiration from experiential spaces, mindfulness-based art therapy and Somaesthetic principles of experiencing, to evoke a sense of calmness and release.
It is a tool which assists the user in training themselves emotionally through MBAT (mindfulness-based art therapy) in the form of 3D interactive environments, guided visual/ auditory mantras, breathing exercises and self-reflection.
The ‘no-UI’ minimalist style, animation, sound and speech allows people to express themselves and evoke spiritual, emotional and mental awareness without judgement, so that toxic thinking can be expelled and reflected upon.
