Living Mind Practice provides mindfulness education, guided practice, reflection tools, live and recorded classes, and coaching support. Although founded by Agustin (Gus) Castellanos, M.D., LivingMind is not medical care and not a substitute for professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, or therapeutic advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

No physician–patient relationship

Using LivingMind, reading its content, listening to Dr. Gus's recordings, or interacting with the Dr. Gus AI voice agent does not create a physician–patient or therapist–client relationship. Dr. Gus is not acting as your treating physician through this platform.

If you are in crisis

If you are experiencing a mental-health crisis, thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or harm to others, please stop using the platform and reach out for immediate help:

• US: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
• US: text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)
• Emergency: call 911 or your local emergency service
• Outside the US: contact your local crisis or emergency service

More resources are on our safety page.

Consult a professional

Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions about a medical or mental-health condition, medication, or treatment. Never disregard professional advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read or heard on LivingMind.

AI voice agent

The Dr. Gus voice conversation is powered by an AI voice model. It is not a live physician, does not diagnose or treat conditions, and does not provide crisis intervention. Treat it as coaching-style reflection only.

Individual responsibility

You are responsible for how you use the practices, information, and community features on LivingMind. If a practice feels unsafe or triggering, stop and speak with a qualified professional.
