Why this independent site uses a referral link

Blissful is an independent site, and the link it uses for the Miracle of Mind app is a referral link from the app. We say that openly, and you can say it too. Knowing this helps you share with a clear conscience.

Here is the short version you can give a friend: the guides are free, the tools are free, and the app is optional.

What is a referral link?

It is a web address that tells the app which site sent you. That is all. It does not change what the app is, and it does not change what you see.

We use one because we recommend one app, Miracle of Mind by Sadhguru. We recommend it because we find it a simple start for a beginner. We would rather say so than hide it.

Is this site connected to the app?

No. Blissful is independent of the app and of Isha Foundation. Blissful is a reading site, separate from any clinic, helpline or teacher. Our editorial team writes the guides, and the pages explain how we choose sources on the editorial policy page.

When we describe the app, we stay close to what the provider says. The App Store listing describes Miracle of Mind as a simple, effective and free app designed to help you take charge of your mental wellbeing, and shows it as free to download¹. That is the provider’s own description, so check the current listing before you rely on it.

What stays free if someone never installs the app?

Everything here. Each guide is complete without it, and the tools run in the browser. A friend can read, print, use the breathing pacer and never hear about the app again.

Our guide on other practical resources when you do not want to install an app lists what is available.

How do I explain it when someone asks?

Keep it short and plain. You might say:

• “The site is independent. It uses a referral link for one app.”
• “The app is free to download, according to the provider. Check the listing.”
• “You do not need it. The tools and guides work without it.”

Do not defend, argue or add claims. A calm answer builds more trust than a long one.

What should I avoid when sharing?

Do not hide the link or pretend it is a personal find if you did not use it. Do not promise results or say it will make anyone feel a certain way.

Do not say it is free and leave out that people should check the listing. And do not return to the topic after a no. For wording, see writing a short optional invitation.

Adapting it for real life

At work, a team lead sharing a link should say plainly that it is optional and that no one will be asked whether they used it. In a family group, be especially light, because elders may worry about “signing up” for something.

If someone is anxious about privacy or cost, invite them to read the Miracle of Mind guide, which sets out what the official sources describe, and the privacy policy on this site. If someone is struggling, point them to the get support page instead of an app.
