Breathe in, breathe out and take off. Air France now invites its customers travelling on board a long-haul flight to discover the benefits of meditation via the Mind app programme.

Currently available in French, English, Spanish and Portuguese since June, the guided meditation sessions are available in the new “meditation” section on individual passenger's screen aboard Air France aircraft.

There are six sessions for children, taken from Eline Snel’s book “Sitting still like a frog” edited by Les Arènes, including the session “The flying frog” and “Attention starts with the breath”.

There are also six meditation sessions for adults taken from Christophe André’s best-seller “Mindfulness day after day” edited by L’Iconoclaste, including the session ‘Mind travel” and “Achieving inner calm and peace”.

Each programme, made up of an audio recording and a corresponding video, offers travellers world exclusive content to familiarize themselves with the concept of mindfulness and to feel in harmony with the special environment of an aircraft cabin.

Mind is a mobile app offering mindfulness initiation programmes. With over 200 sessions adapted to everyday life scenarios and designed by some of the greatest meditation experts.
