In line with a growing movement in mindfulness that is resulting in consumers purchasing greater numbers of conscious products, Buffalo-based technology company Bodhi Seven Corp. will soon be launching the 'Mindful Market.'
The aim of this web marketplace is to connect buyers and sellers who have a shared interest in yoga, integrative medicine, meditation and other parts of holistic wellness. In a partnership with Amazon, the Mindful Market will sell more than 5,000 items with a focus on sharing health and happiness.
With meditation studios, yoga festivals and retailers pushing kind missions with charitable one-for-one missions, mindfulness is slowly beginning to trickle into the mainstream. Backed by this growing global movement, the Mindful Market hopes to have the same success as Etsy, which is now a company that's worth billions of dollars.
