MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES, August 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ – Tergar International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the ancient wisdom of meditation to the modern world, has launched a campaign on the global Kickstarter platform to fund the development of its groundbreaking new mobile app, “Joy of Living.”
With over $140,000 raised by more than 450 backers from 50 countries, the campaign has already received significant global support.
The global mental health crisis is acute, with millions struggling with increasing anxiety, depression and isolation. Meditation has become a key tool in the growing mental wellbeing movement, offering a powerful way to build resilience. The Joy of Living app offers a proven, easy-to-use meditation approach based on the teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche from his best-selling book. This innovative app supports users on their personal meditation journey and helps expand the reach of this transformative practice.
“The Joy of Living app was born out of our desire to make the transformative teachings of Mingyur Rinpoche accessible to everyone, everywhere,” says CEO Cortland Dahl about the inspiration behind the project. “In today’s fast-paced world, we saw an opportunity to combine ancient wisdom with modern technology and make the profound benefits of meditation directly accessible to people.”
Mingyur Rinpoche is a world-renowned meditation teacher who has transformed his personal experiences with anxiety and panic attacks into accessible teachings for students around the world. His Buddhist teachings and philosophy are the pillars of the feature-rich Joy of Living app:
● Access guided meditations and teachings anytime, anywhere, so you can easily incorporate mindfulness into your daily life, no matter where you are.
● Follow a structured, step-by-step path to deepen your meditation practice with tailored instruction suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
● Receive personalized meditation recommendations and insights based on your individual preferences and progress, ensuring a customized experience that evolves with you.
● Attend exclusive live events with Mingyur Rinpoche and other distinguished Tergar teachers and gain direct access to expert guidance and teachings.
● Connect with a vibrant global community of meditators to support and inspire each other and share experiences and insights from around the world.
“At a time when stress, anxiety and isolation are pervasive, the Joy of Living app offers a glimmer of hope. It’s not just about relaxation. It’s about giving people practical tools to develop awareness, compassion and wisdom in their daily lives,” added Beth Korczynski, Director of Philanthropy. “We believe that by making these teachings widely available, we can contribute to a calmer, wiser and more compassionate world.”
The first version of the Joy of Living app is expected to be released in early October 2024, with the full feature set being introduced in the following months.
Looking to the future, the Joy of Living app has the potential to have a significant impact on global mental health. As smartphone usage continues to grow worldwide, this app could bring evidence-based meditation practices to millions of people, potentially reducing anxiety and depression, improving overall wellbeing, and promoting greater compassion and understanding across cultures.
The Joy of Living app is live and available to support on Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/tergar-international/joy-of-living-app-meditate-anytime-anywhere. Help us bring this transformative app to life and help spread wisdom worldwide.
