How Immersive Sanctuary's Virtual Reality Program is Promoting Mindfulness at Work

New York, NY, August 14, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Immersive Sanctuary, a NYC based startup just launched a virtual reality guided meditation app that’s allowing people to meditate in a 100 percent distraction free environment, a calm virtual beach. They’ve been installing virtual reality hardware and meditation software into organizations like hospitals, law firms, and large pharmaceutical corporations, and giving stressed employees a chance to find their zen without leaving their office.

Quotes from D.J. Smith, Immersive Sanctuary's general manager:

“Virtual reality is incredibly effective for meditation because the technology completely blocks out any distractions from the real world.

“Forward thinking human resource managers and innovation officers are starting to integrate this kind of meditation VR hardware and software into the workplace and seeing great benefits.

“There’s no better way to incentivize a team to meditate, then by bringing virtual reality equipment and software to your organization for everyone to use.

“Meditation trains people on how to be more focused during the course of their day. Immersive Sanctuary recommends that employees budget 5 minutes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to meditate. The short duration minimizes any loss of productivity but is significant enough for employees to see real improvements in their mental health.”

Immersive Sanctuary is working to expand their library of experiences by offering virtual reality Tai Chi. This activity combines physical activity with meditative mindsets.

Meditation in the workplace is proven to lower absenteeism, improve job satisfaction and work productivity, increase employee retention and lower health care costs.
