In a time where employees are more sensitive to receiving appreciation and autonomy rather than bonuses and funky in-office playhouses, Mind Spa offers employers both a considerate and sensible solution.

In order to contain the current burnout epidemic that is plaguing millions of businesses worldwide, Mind Spa helps you keep your people healthy and productive.

Mind Spa: stress-reduction the modern way

A custom-made suite which turns even a small office room into a well-appointed mindfulness retreat, Mind Spa features exclusive materials, soft lighting and active yet comfortable seating.

Specifically developed screen-meditations offer the restorative power of language, imagery and sound.

Watching a Mind Spa video-meditation facilitates a positive alteration in perspective as well as in awareness.

With Mind Spa your employees experience inner calm, clear-mindedness, sharp focus, and better lateral thinking — without having to fold into a pretzel or study high-brown Zen doctrines.

The costs of open plan offices

Open plan offices were initially introduced to cut costs, saving businesses the expensive rent of square metres in office buildings. But research now finds that open plan offices come at a great cost.

The number of people who can't concentrate at their desk has risen 16% since 2008. Additionally, the number of people who can't find quiet places to accomplish focused work is up 13%.  If people can't focus, they can't execute.

The clinically proven benefits of mindfulness… without meditating

Mind Spa’s contemporary mindfulness approach to calming the overly-busy work mind makes the need to master traditional Zen-meditation unnecessary.

The combination of beautiful imagery, gentle sound and impactful language has a calming effect in a non-intrusive and non-religious way. Within minutes any employee will feel deeply rested, refreshed and re-energised.

Mind Spa: the contemporary mindfulness approach that will keep your staff sane and sound

Mind Spa harnesses the clinically proven power of meditation, but in a modified way since the visual meditations of Mind Spa don’t require any meditation experience.

Mind Spa’s videos are easy to digest and quick to work: employees don’t need to know how to meditate or have meditation experience.

Mind Spa simply caters for every worker who feels overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, panic or boredom.

Even if an employee has never meditated, they can simply watch a Mind Spa meditation and instantly benefit from its relaxing effects.

With Mind Spa, your workers can recharge and refocus whenever they need to.

Chronic work stress: causes and consequences

Poor communication
Many business owners and CEO’s consciously choose secrecy over transparency and exclusion over inclusion, leaving their workers guessing — and stressing — about the future of their job.

Organisational restructuring
In the process of cutting costs, workers are afraid to lose their jobs. The ones that can keep their job, need to work harder and meet tougher deadlines and increased targets. Both scenarios cause chronic stress.

Senseless business decisions
Workers lose faith in the professionalism and capabilities of their CEO and board of directors when business decisions don’t seem to make sense. Losing faith causes distrust, stress and anger.

Micromanagement
Micromanagement is highly disempowering as it doesn’t allow for autonomy, which leaves workers stressed, frustrated and bored.

The Instagramable lifestyle
In today’s world people want it all — pursue an impressive career; own a big house; raise their own family; have a large social network; enjoy luxurious holidays; indulge in sensational activities; and make a difference in today’s world. As work is part of this hectic universe, chronic stress and a lack of focus are the natural consequences of a lifestyle that must tick all Instagram’s boxes.

High engagement
Mindfulness has been clinically proven to result in a more happy workforce and employees being more engaged with their jobs.

Benefits of mindfulness

Mindfulness is a way of reprogramming the mind to think in healthier, less stressful ways, according to The value of mindfulness at work and play by Hansen, 2012.

The brain produces thoughts all the time, but that we don’t need to react upon all these thoughts all the time.

Mindfulness encourages to take a time-out and calm the mind, allowing us to let go of senseless worrying, create better focus and enter the creative realm of solution-driven thinking.

A daily work-out for the mind

Just like the body needs regular exercise, the mind needs regular exercise as well.

The more often workers are encouraged to practise being mindful, the better the results are.

That’s why Mind Spa is like the office gym, but then for the brain. The more the individual worker is encouraged to give their mind a healthy work-out, the more the organisation as a whole will benefit.

Mindfulness in the work place

The clinically proven advantages of mindfulness are numerous:

• less worrying

• less stress, anxiety, panic, frustration, envy and anger

• less workplace conflict and bullying

• less micromanaging

• better relationships between employer and employee

• more trust

• more autonomy

• higher employee engagement

• better teamwork

• better decision making

• greater mental and physical resilience

• increased creative output of senior managers

• better leadership

The energising impact of Mind Spa’s language, imagery and sound

While most guided meditations are spoken, Mind Spa offers a new approach: the visual meditations show calming footage of natural environments as well as written words and sentences which gently encourage the viewer to let go of stress and look upon ineffective reactions with fresh eyes.

Free of noise

On the work floor people are usually surrounded by noise, from colleagues chatting and phones ringing to repetitive computer sounds and music playing in the background. Most of these noises are highly intrusive and distracting, making people feel drained after only a few hours of work. Mind Spa offers a noise-free haven where your people can enjoy calming sounds and focus on the visual meditation of their choice.

Spoken meditations are famous for featuring voices nobody likes :-) An unpleasant voice, no matter how professionally recorded, undermines the reinvigorating effect of meditation.

Spoken meditations can be sleep-inducing — an undesirable situation when at work. However, with Mind Spa employees are encouraged to actively counter unproductive thoughts in a state of relaxed awareness.

When stressed or anxious, understanding spoken text is hard. During doctor appointments between 40 and 80% of the spoken medical information is lost to most patients. Furthermore, 50% of the information that patients do remember, is incorrect. However, written words and sentences (supported by calming sounds) such as featured in Mind Spa’s visual meditations, penetrate the human consciousness at a much deeper level, thus offering long-term stress-reduction rather than a quick but fleeting feel-good moment.

Why Mind Spa is more effective than the standard mindfulness training

Despite the many mindfulness programmes available to employees, the battle against rising sick leave figures continues.

That is because the mindfulness training revolves almost entirely around the mindfulness meditations — but how many of your employees would actually have the energy to establish and maintain a daily meditation practice?

Even if workers would have the discipline to meditate at home, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee calm, clear-minded behaviour at work where office dynamics and time pressure can be intense and overwhelming.

Mind Spa offers every employee the instant calm of mindfulness right when they need to reset and recharge, without the requirement to know how to meditate or keep up a daily meditation practice.

More happy & engaged
