Maloka

Maloka Explorers, we're feeling blessed to share that our journey together won't be coming to an end after all. Just like your Spirits, Maloka is growing and evolving. We're still working out some details, but for now (and hopefully a long time to come) you can continue to immerse yourself in…

Maloka Explorers, It is with heavy hearts that we are sharing some news about Maloka. In 2021 we set out to build a VR and mobile game that would make mindfulness fun and rewarding in hopes that it could bring the healing power of meditation to new audiences. Since that time, nearly half a…

The Best VR Experience for Mindfulness

I can't say enough great things about the Maloka experience. You start out with your own island and a spirit guide that seems childlike (at first). The island starts out as pretty sparse, but as you complete meditations, you are given gifts that you can add to your island. You spirit guide also grows as you progress! I love how you start with a bird's eye view of your island. You can even watch your spirit guide walking around. This makes it fun to teleport on to your island. You take care of your island's plant life by touching them with you VR hands. This generates an energy field as the plant expands with gratitude. I am at the point now where I have unlocked 6 Vortex Meditations, 2 Soundbaths, and 2 Mindful Movements. All while adding cool stuff to my island and watching my spirit guide continue to grow and evolve. I love this world so much and as someone that loves meditation, yoga, and soundbaths in the real world, this app is everything. Maloka has now become my favorite thing to do in VR with my Quest 2.

Happy Place

I have Tourette’s syndrome so going to other calm places to do mindfulness and meditation is very hard for me. What I like about Maloka, particularly on VR, is that it can take me to calm quiet places where I will not destroy the calm by ticcing. I am so appreciative of this wonderful calming app which helps relieve my anxiety and stress, which helps a little with how much I tic. So grateful for this.

The annoyances detract

Game is good but it could be classic/legendary. I recommend Maloka to all new quest owners. The meditation and reward system is fantastic but . . . . . . The annoyances 1) That lady that guides your mediation session needs to go. When she opens her yapper at the end of a session she scares the heck out of you. All the calmness you gained is washed away due to a jump scare. Form 60 to 90 in one breath. 2) That circle your arms to fly box does not work and it follows you around the island until you log out. 3) All the plants I had, had to be tended individually. I had a lot of plants it took around 10 minutes to tend and it was getting longer as my island grew. 4) Notice the past tense in #3. Your recent update wiped out my whole island, The next time I logged on I had to start all over. All my flora gone by the whims of a bit. Good bye perfect placement. Good bye flower lawn that was my pride and joy. Good bye little guy who was no longer little (he coulda eaten me). its all gone. So long farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii As of last night, my old island is back. It's kind of amazing being as I did visit for a tad on the new one. So, as far as that, all is good. OTOH, now the annoying voice lady is on all the tabs in the visual meditation hub. We'll see what happens tonight. That hub definitely needs an option to turn off the vocal assists.

Please fix

I love maloka but I can no longer access my island. Keeps staring over and won’t let me log in. I suffer from anxiety and maloka was my get away to relax away from all the noise and distractions around me. Maloka has been a great help to me. Please fix the issues with the app so we can all get back to our islands to de-stress. Thank you so much for the wonderful app maloka was before the issues started.

Got me back into meditation - but weird.

Cons first: - Once you choose a spirit, you're stuck with it. No customization, no changes, unless you delete your whole island and start your progress over. My spirit became huge and creepy. - There is very little info about how to progress, how to unlock things, or how to fix things. There are no forums, and the discord server is virtually dead. - The Developers support NFTs, the discord server has NFT pushers in it. - A lot of the guided meditations are full of new age mysticism, and one of the main meditation guides pushes a narcissistic worldview, rather than one of lovingkindness. Pros: + It gamifies meditation, which could get you back into the practice if it's been awhile. + The island is a fun way to get you to keep coming back to check on plants and maybe do a quick 5 minute meditation. Overall, I'm going to be looking for alternatives.
