OUR POSITION
MindKriya is practice, not treatment
The product offers brief games and guided pauses. It has not been clinically tested as a complete programme and does not diagnose, prevent or treat mental illness, cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, long COVID, eye disease or another health condition.
Mental-game evidence
Research on cognitive training is mixed and depends on the population, task, duration and outcome measured. Some studies find improvement on trained or closely related tasks. Broad transfer to intelligence, everyday functioning or general cognition is much less certain.
A systematic review of commercially available brain-training programmes reported small near-transfer effects but concluded that evidence was insufficient for broad improvements in memory, general cognition or everyday functioning. MindKriya therefore describes its products as mental challenges rather than a way to raise IQ, reverse decline or cure brain fog.

Breathing and grounding
Established public-health guidance includes gentle breathing and grounding as self-help practices for coping with stress. The important word is gentle. Forced, very deep or rapid breathing can cause discomfort or dizziness.
MindKriya avoids rapid-breathing drills and forced holds. Users can return to natural breathing or stop at any time.

Eye and screen guidance
Screen-relief practices are based on ordinary break, blinking and setup guidance. They do not strengthen eyesight or treat dry eye. Persistent discomfort or any change in vision needs appropriate professional advice.

Content-review status
The product is in public beta. Professional review of the complete guided-content library is still pending. Until that review is completed, MindKriya keeps claims deliberately narrow and labels the guidance as general wellbeing.
When professional review occurs, this page should name the reviewer, their relevant qualifications, the scope of review and the review date. MindKriya will not imply an endorsement that has not happened.
