The Institute for Compassion in Heidelberg is dedicated to sharing Ren Xue’s transformative teachings with the world, making them accessible through the newly developed 5XIN App—a mobile application offering heart-focused audio reflections and daily meditations designed to restore balance, joy, and well-being. In early 2025, the Institute invited 16 individuals to take part in a 25-day guided journey with the 5XIN App to better understand how the five heart qualities, introduced through daily practice, might benefit participants’ inner lives in measurable and meaningful ways.
After completing the 25-day journey, participants reported feeling less stressed, more mindful, and more compassionate toward themselves. These changes were reflected not only in questionnaires completed before and after using the app, but also in the reflections shared during in-person interviews. One participant summarized their overall experience:
“It’s become even clearer to me that in a calm, relaxed, loving state, you not only interpret things differently, but of course you can also act differently. And that this—this inner state, holding onto it—is really a key to acting in the world, because it’s so decisive.”
