MINDFULNESS IN METAVERSE

I am Daniela C. Merlano, a Conspicuis voice, and I had the gift of hosting this Webinar around Mindfulness in Metaverse.

Mindfulness in Metaverse is bringing up the awareness of what we have to take care of when developing the emerging technology.

When it comes to the metaverse there are tremendous opportunities to pay attention to like: trolls, cyberbullying, children, identity, and others. Mostly, there is HOPE, of using a new virtual technology space and tools, as useful to create a better world in real life, embracing those emotions we reproduce in the metaverse, in the experiences and use cases we may find there, for a better life IRL. Moving a human-centric technology development.

As Oliver said, the Mindful metaverse triggers the sense of it being more than the mind, knowing ourselves, emotional triggers, and how we make better decisions for our brands and relations, helping bring more of this emotional learning through an immerse experience space. Neil, brightly agreed on creating a world that we want to live in, in The Metaverse, so it can expand as an opportunity in the real-life better building as well.

Web3 is open to listening, as we are building from:

• Vulnerability
• Passion
• A dream of a new world.

So mindfulness is ready to be listened to in a try of emerging technology. As Sharad affirmed, almost every day we listen about metaverses to be safe and incentivize more people to use metaverses, as a business opportunity as well, to do wellbeing experiences in the metaverse. Philip wisely enlightened us with the importance of a higher lever of consciousness. As he affirmed, The Metaverse is being built as an external virtual reality place we can go to, we need to increase our level of consciousness to the effect of the entire 3D perception we are having and receiving those interactions and information in 3D. With mindfulness as a general practice, we can get into that higher level of consciousness.

Another incredible use of metaverse for good is mental and emotional healing. It has been proved with therapy that involves imagination (creating images to move emotion, then translate into healing) that even if it's not 100% real, it works. Projects such as Emotional Theater, by our speaker Joleen, are meant to raise this awareness, that creating those mindful experiences, that will move in real-life emotions, in the Metaverse is promoting proactive emotional learning.

Mindfulness, placed in the metaverse, is essential to bring ourselves inwards, understand our vulnerabilities, and how are canceling ourselves or others with how we are relating to each other, and with to our own identity in this metaverse space. Oliver affirmed that yoga, meditation, and mindful practices have tripled in the last years, and with the Metaverse this could be scalable even more, so the challenge comes to the best way of engaging people with this technology tool in that mindful way.

Neil expressed brightly, how we can be thankful for today, and how the old paradigm, which we could call web2, is giving us the parameters to create a better new paradigm (web3), and it is available for us, is in our awareness to see those problems and be responsible on how are we addressing them in a mindful way.

Mindfulness in Web3 brings us better energy management, how we use and circulate our energy to create a reality for ourselves and others, based on our attention. In web3, everybody gets a wallet, to move the energy, a brilliant metaphor placed by Neil, once again. The consciousness is here, that metaverse is highly customizable, but we are the ones that can mindfully choose how to create in a way that we are proud of.

Thanks to that virtual reality enhanced by the Metaverse, we can share truthfully indistinct from where we are physically and timezone based, which makes the world more curious about others, genuinely watching and sensing all of us as people first, ageless, genderless, cultureless and others that have divided us into other physical spaces.

Another important mindful thought for Web3, as Aga reminds us, is the importance of not repeating the same errors in Web2. To build Web3 not just focused on numbers, engagement, and how to take more attention and energy from others. Instead, we should focus on how to bring value to them, more than taking energy from them. Metaverse engagement should be mindful of how to make other lives better and balance the use and engagement with health and energy in real life.?

Metaverse is here to stay, so creating a community with no Fomo, and more purpose, share, and care will be key for our long-term health. Melissa is highly connected with this purposeful and empathic way of leaving. She sees that the Web3 and Metaverse community is in great timing, to keep the responsibility of keeping the energy positive because it is contagious. People joined with that positive energy and hope, to make the Metaverse a space of brightness and positivity as those millions of people join and keep the contagious impact.

Sharad placed it, Web3 is not technology, is a mindset. Is a mindset of mindfully collaborating, is a mindset of sharing the energy of taking care of people, we need game-changers, gate-keepers for safer communities, and common sense of purpose joining them together for real change. He invites us to express this, share this and move towards a Mindful Web3.

Soon we will share two more People First in Web3 Webinars:

1. Future of Children in Metaverse.
2. How technology can build Mindfully (Mindful in Metaverse 2.0 - the use)

Stay tuned!
