Mental wellness startup Mindhouse ropes in Jim Sarbh

Mental well-being app Mindhouse has teamed up with Emmy-nominated actor Jim Sarbh to take users on an immersive journey to the northern lights. This is the latest offering from Mindhouse’s ongoing Sleep Stories series - a collection of calming stories to help people relax and fall asleep better - which has previously been voiced by other Bollywood heavyweights like Rahul Bose, Konkona Sen Sharma and Amol Parasher.

Sleep stories are designed to help you unwind and relax by visualizing a calming environment right before you sleep. This is especially important since sleep is one of the cornerstones of good mental health - research has proven that consistent sleep deprivation, often the result of a lack of a consistent sleep routine, can lead to overall cognition issues, difficulty in coping with emotional change, and even depression.Yet, despite the warning signs, more and more Indians, especially young people, are suffering from a lack of sleep.

“At Mindhouse, we take a holistic approach to mental well-being, sleep stories being one of the entry points for users to get deeper into the practice of meditation. We also have guided mindfulness and meditation content, for all levels of practitioners - from beginners to experts; and we’ve recently launched therapy services, where we aim to find you your perfect therapist through a mix of recommendations and filters,”said Pooja Khanna, co-founder at Mindhouse. “We’re excited to have partnered with Jim Sarbh for our latest story, and hope that more people are able to benefit from this simple visualization based format of meditation.” 

“I understand the value of sleep and how important it is for a healthy functioning body, both physically and mentally. That is why I am excited to be a part of the Sleep Stories Project - because it is important to take time out to calm your mind before going to bed. Mindhouse has come up with a very interesting concept, much-needed in today’s day and age with the hectic lives we lead,” said Jim Sarbh.

Mindhouse’s latest offering ‘Travel with Jim: The Northern Lights Experience’ takes listeners on a vivid 30-minute journey into a serene Norwegian night to witness the calming beauty of the Aurora Borealis. Told in Sarbh’s distinct style, accompanied by aural music to make the story even more immersive, it’s designed to ensure listeners go into a deep state of relaxation.

Other Sleep Stories on the Mindhouse app include Konkona Sen Sharma’s calming rendition of ‘A Swiss Adventure’, Rahul Bose’s ‘A Night in the Forest’ and Amol Parasher’s ‘Underwater World’. Sleep Stories are available in the Mindhouse app, where new users get free access to all the app content for a period of 1 month.
