About Omvana

Why Omvana exists

Most meditation apps hand you a library and leave the choosing to you. A big library is a gift on a slow Sunday and a wall at 11pm.

So Omvana asks how you feel and picks one session, with one line on why it fits. More meditation was never the point. The right one, at the right time, is.

The host

Vishen Lakhiani hosts Omvana. He founded Mindvalley, has taught meditation for 22 years, and wrote two New York Times bestsellers, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and The Buddha and the Badass. On Mindvalley he teaches The 6 Phase Meditation and The Silva Ultramind System.

He chose the sessions anyone can play free, starting with his own 6 Phase Meditation, and on some days a pick and a few words of his open Today.

How teachers are chosen

Every guided session on Omvana comes from a teacher who teaches with Mindvalley: Vishen Lakhiani, Paul McKenna and many more, each with a page of their own.

A teacher shows on the Teachers page once they have a portrait and enough sessions to start with. Sessions are ordered by how listeners rate them, finish them and come back to them, so the most loved come first.

Safety and honest claims

Omvana is for relaxing, resting and practising. It isn’t a treatment for any condition, and it doesn’t replace a doctor or a therapist. We describe a session by what it’s for, never by what it will do to you.

Never listen to hypnosis while driving or doing anything that needs your attention. If you have epilepsy or a serious mental illness, talk to a doctor before hypnosis. If you’re in crisis, call your local emergency number or a crisis line: a meditation isn’t the help you need then.

How Omvana picks, and Apple Health

A pick comes from what you tell Omvana, the time of day where you are, what you play and how sessions left you feeling. Every pick says why in one line, and it only ever gives a reason that’s true of you.

On iPhone you can connect Apple Health. Omvana then reads last night’s sleep and how you’ve moved, on the phone, and fits the morning to it: a short night brings a gentle wake-up, never a sleep track. Only a word like “short night” is sent, and Omvana keeps nothing from Health.

Privacy, in plain words

What you tell Omvana stays with your account. It’s used to pick sessions and answer you, never for ads. The words you type to search are never kept.

The assistant’s answers are written by an AI model, and it remembers what you choose to tell it so it can help next time. Delete your account and Omvana deletes your data with it.

If you connect your Mindvalley account, Omvana uses what you listened to on Mindvalley to personalise your own picks. Disconnect it and Omvana forgets that listening.

Mindvalley

Omvana is made by Mindvalley, the personal growth company Vishen Lakhiani founded. Its teachers, its programs and its community are the ones behind every session here.
