In the modern age of fragmented attention that feeds off fifteen-second news cycles, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter alerts, we are all trying our best to focus our attention. However, most of us cannot because we were never taught how to.

We have been asked to pay attention all the time, but very few of us were shown how we could improve ours.

It all started thousands of years ago when folks had the time and patience to devise cool techniques to reclaim our attention. Thankfully many of these techniques are as applicable today as they were then.

MindGym, a nonprofit initiative, which is focused on creating awareness about these techniques or exercises amongst the younger generation. It uses a contemporary narrative to demystify mindfulness practices using mobile games and brainwave-based biofeedback.
