Welcome to r/AIMeditationLab!

Hi there and welcome to this subreddit! How has AI supported your meditation practice? I'm a long-time meditator and tech guy. Meditation changed my life. AI also changed my life! That's why I love them both. My intention is for this to be a space where we can share our experiences and experiments with using AI in meditation practice. That might mean chatting with tools like ChatGPT or using AI to guide and support us directly during meditation. You're welcome to share your thoughts, experiences, or other AI meditation tools you've found helpful. This community is open to anything related to AI and meditation.

Flavouring a traditional meditation

I've asked Omi a meditation inspired by the traditional metta practice (loving-kindness) while I was sitting in a park. Another creative and wonderful way to use AI: to bring context and novelty to a more traditional practice. I'm so impressed by the script: it's simple, it follows the sequence of the practice with skill, and has poetry. I have practiced loving-kindness myself for more than a decade, and know how difficult it is to create something that lands, and is not too cheesy, and not too dry. During the last meditation retreat I attended, a 2 weeks long retreat, the Zen teacher led a few of these guided practices, and for me they didn't quite land personally. And here I am, sitting in a park, and an AI has created something that works more for me than the words of a respected Zen teacher... wow! I love how naturally Omi blended the metta practice with my environment: >"You're free to stay with the same being or let your heart widen to others close by, or those passing through the park." >"There's no need to force feeling or picture anyone clear. The phrases are like offerings, carried on the spring air."

A gift for a friend

Today I was answering a voice message from a friend, and thought about sending them a meditation. I asked Omi to create a short 5mn meditation about gently finding love within ourselves, and opening to what's new in life, just like the spring that is coming. I love what it came up with. 😊 Again, even here, the model surprised me with something unexpected: it added a physical gesture: >"If you'd like, place a hand over your heart, or simply bring your attention to this area." This is an emergent behaviour: I never taught it to do this! It just seems to know.
