PATHS XR

PATHS XR is an immersive technology platform that specialises in creating learning journeys to nurture psychological wellbeing.

We believe that the fusion of immersive technology alongside therapeutic and contemplative wisdom can empower individuals to chart their own course of self-discovery.

Our name, PATHS XR, stands for Psychedelic Assisted Technology in Health Science, and reflects our vision of supporting individuals as they navigate their own unique paths.

Metacognitive Compass

Discover the art of navigating your landscape of experience, while aligning your inner compass with intention, self-awareness, and connection.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness practices have been shown to improve attention, reduce stress, and contribute to overall well-being. Part of mindfulness is the capacity to cultivate an inner observer and interoceptive awareness. VR with psychedelic-like visual and auditory stimuli, have the potential to deepen the state of mindfulness, potentially catalysing more profound states of relaxation and insight (Anderson et al., 2019).

Mindset

Another key aspect of metacognition is mindset which plays a critical role on how we cope with challenges and perform creatively (Jia, 2019). A growth mindset supports an outlook towards self-efficacy and resilience. Recent research shows that brief verbal and written mindset interventions can have long lasting impacts on mental health, resilience, physiological stress-adaptivity and social connection (Crum, 2013).

Meaning

Meaning, the narrative we weave from our experiences, shapes our identity and purpose. Viktor Frankl asserted that the search for meaning is the primary motivational force in humans. Psychedelic experiences often catalyze the meaning-making processes of the brain (Preller and Vollenweider, 2018). Cyberdelic technologies have the potential to extend these experiences, aiding in the construction of personal meaning and the understanding of the complex tapestry of life.

Multiplicity

Multiplicity in the context of metacognition refers to the ability to hold and appreciate a variety of perspectives simultaneously. It's about recognizing the multifaceted nature of our psyche and the world around us. Multiplicity on an individual level is the recognition of the diverse aspects of our identities and the ability to navigate between them and is key to a holistic self-concept. Psychedelic-assisted therapy has been shown to enhance the perception of multiplicity internally and interpersonally.
