Mediate Your Life App
stay tuned for a new version of the app
The Mediate Your Life App is an audio guide to help you when you are in conflict with someone in your life, or with yourself — a clash of differences, the pain of unresolved hurt, a breakdown of communication or connection.
Listening to the audios, you feel better and find new insights and solutions to the difficulties you face.
Experience more harmony, peace, and deeper wellbeing in your life. Contribute to peace and wellbeing in the world!
“It’s like a meditation app... but it helps you navigate difficult conversations and situations while also providing you with emotional support.“ —Katie, app user
While new version is developed, app may not be accessible in the app stores.
A message from John Kinyon, your guide through the app:
“Mediate Your Life is based in the international work of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), created by Marshall Rosenberg, and integrates a mediation model, neuroscience, and mindfulness. Nonviolent Communication and Mediate Your Life training have shown powerful and transformative results for decades around the world.”

THE MISSION, VISION, AND PURPOSE
The mission, vision, and purpose of this app is a critical mass of people around the world with the ability to respond to conflict with connection — personally, organizationally, and collectively — to create greater wellbeing and work together for a healthy, just, and sustainable world with all life of the planet.
The vision of the app and its mission in the world is dedicated to our son Kabir [Sept 26, 1992 – Nov 29, 2022]. His life of service for social justice and his bold, passionate, and courageous spirit embodied this vision.
THE APPROACH
The Mediate Your Life approach offers a map of “conflict territories” and an inner “compass” and directions for navigating and transforming conflicts in your life.
Observation, Feeling, Need, Request. These are communication components from the international work of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a universal language of the heart, a language of life. These components are the cellular-DNA of the approach in this app.
A conflict map, compass, and directions guide you through different regions and territories in the world of human conflict and challenges with other people and within yourself. The basic structure is from the field of mediation, where two opposing sides are held and supported by a “third side” who facilitates empathic understanding and care equally to both.
This approach gives the ability to take a third side perspective within yourself, the perspective of mindful empathic awareness, to see what we share in common under our differences, and hold an opening for those differences to come together and integrate into new creative possibilities and solutions.
In the app, there are different “bioregions” in the world of human conflict. The app guides you through the particular challenge you face to connection and a new world of possibility.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
» In terms of the general format, there are some introduction and overview audios, however in most of the audios you are guided through a meditative experience.
» You can relax and listen, allowing yourself to be guided to a place of feeling better and gaining new insights and ideas for how to respond to a challenging situation.
» The more you listen to the audios, the more you naturally learn and can apply the components, processes, and skills to situations in your life.
This app is the perfect companion to the Mediate Your Life Posters, Guidebook, Journey Courses, and Mediation & Coaching Program.
WHAT MYL APP USERS SAY
I sincerely want to appreciate you for the incredible work you do on Mediate Your Life. I am so amazed that I can access it as an App. I use it for meditation and during transition moments. It is an awesome, inspiring experience. The stages of the meditation are all very well thought out and appropriate. I am sure that many people will enjoy it and be drawn to it as much as I am. It is indeed a master piece. Bravo John!
—Ndidi
Before NVC and John’s training, I braced for life’s impact. After, I am trusting and curious, open to outcome. Before, frozen and frightened. After, confident and capable. Before, withered and weak. After, self-acknowledged and compassionate. There is not one part of my life that has not been impacted by Nonviolent Communication and John’s trainings, all parts touched with the privilege of learning and living these principles. A warmth of gratitude washes across my heart and a sense of sharp joy pricks in my throat as I lean into John’s essence and all he teaches.
—HopeThe purpose of a map is to help someone get to where they want to go. But when the terrain is entirely internal, having a map to help guide the way is even more useful. The maps John teaches have not only helped me successfully navigate myself through anger, shame, fear, guilt, and confusion, but also support others through their emotional challenges, deepening the sense of meaning and purpose in my life.
—Simon
Working with John has been spiritually transformational. This form of communication is a spiritual language and practicing it with John allows for communication to come from the heart. It gives our souls the language it needs to express itself in a way that allows us to be the loving people we are.
