StaceyPowers Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-09-29/vr-meditation-taught-me-how-to-meditate-how-to-save-a-life Here is an interesting article about using VR to meditate. This makes a lot of sense to me, as I actually seem to get the benefits of meditating more from playing video games than “just sitting.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This sounds like a cool idea. I usually have a hard time mediating because I couldn't concentrate with even the softest background noise and other distractions, and closing my eyes just makes me sleepy, so a VR environment with my headphones on might do the trick.

I have not tried using VR to meditate, but it seems it is going to be the last resort on my push to beating insomnia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 No matter what that article is trying to say in regards to meditating with VR, I don't get to agree on personal terms. I wouldn't feel comfortable though, instead I'll be on a state of lust and pressure of being in existence somewhere else. I am just fine playing video games and easing my displeasure about life sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I never even thought about that, still it's not the same as doing it in realism and your eyes are not looking at fake data 😛 I do not agree with it anyway sooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Sadly can't read article, requires I buy a subscription. I can see many people using VR to meditate. But I feel you'd get the same effect as wearing headphones, listening to music and wearing glasses. Don't you usually close your eyes while meditating anyway? So idk if VR is really that practical unless you keep your eyes open. idk, that's just me, maybe they find a way to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it feel like a good idea but I would like to be intentional about whatever I am doing and not looking for a make believe kind of way out from something I could conveniently do on my own for a few minutes without any issue.

Shortie Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I honestly didn't even think that meditation would be something that could be done through VR but it makes perfect sense. I myself don't tend to do any kind of meditating but I do know that it can help so much with relaxing and also with stress and anxiety and really should be something I look into but I haven't done so yet. It's a shame that VR headsets and getting started with VR is still so expensive at the moment as I could see many benefiting from something like this especially when stress and anxiety are such a big problem for so many. It's cool that things like VR can not only be for gaming but also for things like meditating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 It makes a lot of sense actually because you use VR to simulate a tranquil environment which can improve the quality of the meditation session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
