The Non Gaming Game

This meditation video game is definitely not for the typical gamer.

This game is definitely not for the typical gamer. Rather than giving you an adrenaline rush after saving the world, it aims to calm you down with relaxation and meditation ‘sessions’. Created by Deepak Chopra, it is available over Wii and Xbox Kinect. The Kinect version is the smarter one, as it analyses respiration and whole body movements to know if and when you are ‘in the zone’. Firsthand users testify that it relaxes the mind and turns the gaze inwards—all the things for which people chase gurus. Well, if it’s a choice between ending up with a fake baba or a video game, what would you choose?
