Fascinating video. I don't normally meditate but after watching this video I think I'll give it a go :)
Do it! Let me know once you have tride it :)
@@VirtualRealityNation still meditating?
@@kirkrasmussen2601 Legend has It that he Is still meditating a whole year later.
I started meditating about 6 months ago because I was experiencing a lot of anxiety after an accident. I by no means great at it but I have noticed a lot less anxiety and when I do have some anxiety it’s very mild and manageable. I’ve come to the realization that meditation doesn’t have to be perfect, thoughts are going to pop up and you’re going to get distracted at times but it’s the consistency that’s going to make the difference. You keep doing it even if you don’t see a huge difference and even if you mess up, it’s the consistency that matters. It’s also very relaxing so at least you’ll give yourself that time to yourself. Deep breathing and accepting that anxiety is normal part of being a human being goes a long way, in other words don’t fight anxiety and don’t expect to find a cure. I do a meditation in the mornings and before bedtime and I also include some gratitude and manifestation as soon as I finish my meditation. My meditation are anywhere from 10-25 minutes.
Really insightful video, thanks for sharing!
Thank YOU for the Feedback! :)
Do you meditate Henrik?
This app is so great, it helps with adhd a lot
How so?
That's why I got it. I'm looking forward to that. I see someone already asked, but I'd love to know what it did for you.
I have found vr very calming and seems to take me away from reality.I will definatly be trying this.
It definitely is a fantastic tool to do so, especially when otherwise you have trouble to calm your thoughts! :) enjoy!
What I plan on doing is using ear bud under head set for meditation music I prefer and just take in the visual from Oculus. Can't wait.
Hey Carl :)
That's a good idea! Let me know how that went.
Within the session there is a voice guiding you, but it will probably also work with just your own choice of music, so enjoy :)
Omg just watching your video made me feel oddly calm
Good morning! I am very happy to see both your commitment to freeing your mind from itself; and your sharing your VR journey. Take heart! As you experience more of your shine and less of your stress, going to meditate becomes easier. We easily go toward things that bring us joy. I would love to hear more about how it is going now almost a year later. Either another video or just text. Whatever happens next, best of luck to you. Enjoy your shine.
He's sent me a dream yesterday night o_o he got stuck in the metaverse 4 eva
Cool app and great video 👌🏻
It's great, isn't it?! Thank you Din Ela :) appreciate these words
It really reminded me of Lawnmower Man with those graphics.
Haha wow, did not think of that but yes!! :)
Great vid man!!!
Really appreciate that! Thank you :)
This should feel awesome when high lol
Haha, have not thought about that yet. Let me know if you have tried it 😅
I was thinking the same.....🤣
First time I tried it I was high as hell 😂 it really felt like magical lol
Nice
It's fantastic, you should try it if you have the Quest! :) enjoy
Voice reminds me of Gillian Anderson.
I have tried it in VR Breathe excise.
That's awesome Carl! How did you like it? :) Keep on doing so and take care :)
What are your thoughts on meditating while high? On weed of course
It improves it imo
I need focus really need help with that and relax calm
If you stick to it and do not give it up, eventually it becomes easier! :) Good luck on your journey!
Do you really feel like you can switch off with all that sensory stimulation?
Hi caveben:)
Yes absolutely! Basically the guided breathing flow lets you forget that you have put on the headset. It works way way better than expected!
Do you have an Oculus?
@@VirtualRealityNation Hi, thanks for talking the time to reply!
So for me it's hard to imagine meditation without disengaging from the world around me. I want watched your video and imagined being too caught up with the fractals around me to be alone with myself that's why I asked.
Have you meditated without VR and if so how would you compare the two?
Of course, there is no right way to meditate and I wish you happiness and peace from however you choose to practice.
I'm very actively thinking about buying an oculus at this minute.
@@caveben
Well let me put it like this:
The visual effects and the fly through helped to ease in and slowly let go of all the thoughts. Then when the breathing starts and the fractals are in rhythm with your breathing you completely forget everything else, it does not feel distracting at all!
Oh yes, I have been meditating now for a bunch of years even without VR. When comparing it, I think the VR solution can help people that otherwise have problems to focus on their breathing. Therefore I think this could become a common way for meditation in the future.
Regarding buying an oculus, the VR space is evolving and there are already a bunch of apps that really are useful and a lot of fun for the Oculus and it will only grow. If you have any other questions regarding the Oculus, feel free to reach out :)
And happy new year! :)
Interesting. I’m happy the app is helpful but question the use of an interface in order to “meditate” rather than using just the mind. To be fair I guess it is no different to spoken or guided meditations which I have benefited from myself previously. The use of a kaleidoscopic visual feature to assist in focusing the mind is a interesting.
In short whatever helps to reduce stress and promote mental wellbeing should be at least considered so long as it does not cause harm to others.
How long are the sessions and is any preparation required? I’m guessing they are around 20 minutes each?
Hey Barmy !:)
Thank you for the feedback, interesting take!
Fair point, I also think that in general the only really needed part here is your own mind. But the visual aspect feels like a bridge that supports your mind, it doesn't distract or anything, so it works better than I initially expected.
Do you have an Ouclus? You should give it a shot.
There is no prep needed, sessions are in different lengths and styles, so you can pick.
Let me know if you managed to try it out somewhere :)
@@VirtualRealityNation picked up Meta Quest 2 recently. I’ve not tried any meditation apps yet but that could change. My experience of meditation comes from studying buddhist philosophy informally and attending meditation classes and retreats. It certainly helped me through a very challenging time but ironically as my mind began to heal my reason to continue meditating began to diminish. How utterly foolish of me, clearly a serious lack of wisdom on my part.
These days I spend hours in contemplation rather than making time for formal meditation sessions, but occasionally my contemplations bear fruit so all is not lost.
@@barmyneddy1789 That sounds interesting! So you have quite some professional meditation background?:)
Oh I think that happens to everyone haha (unfortunately)
Meditating when everything seems fine & healed is definitely the next steps.
Let me know if you manage to try meditating in VR :)
Well visual sensory stimulation like this helps your brain sequence the environment without the VR so your basic meditation will be completely coherent to what you want they should let you buy your own house so you can manifest the environment quicker also since it’s less visual effort more emphasis should be put on the feeling good part which is the most important the better your body feels the more you connect to the subconscious mind
@@ProdJamesCultz well put!
See, this is what I absolutely don't like about these VR worlds. Everything looks so artificial, cold and unrealistic. I don't wanna be in an environment that looks like a PC game from the 90s. So, if anyone can suggest something better, I'm open ears.
There's lot of good photogrammetrically captured real life places on SteamVR Home. Also Tripp looks and works better in VR than is does on a flat screen.
Try it. That’s all I gotta say.
There are real life videos on UA-cam in 360 degrees. But my experience with this is all of the apps have a game like feel to them. I was thinking about this and I think it’s to help the mind to distinguish between reality and VR. I’m not sure what the long term impact on the brain would be if it was ultra real, but I think it may have the same effect as porn. They say that over use of porn ruins real life sexual experiences…. I don’t know but food for thought 😊
There’s an App called hoame for meditation that is a little more realistic though.
is this one free
it costs 4,99 per month, but I think it is worth it if you are keen about meditation :)
Hope this helped
Praying works better. God bless. X
As long as it works, it's great! :)
No it doesnt lol
@@carlossalinas8512 Pray with the heart Carlos and then it will. x
@@comedy-dolman3753 Meditation is far more effective than praying to a fictional character.
@@carlossalinas8512 Ah, there's your problem, you don't believe in the Christ! Yep, i now understand where you're coming from. If you don't believe you're stuffed. . . Try asking Christ to prove he exists as you're struggling to believe in Him. Again if your request is of truth and you do indeed truly, deeply and honestly want to know, you will get a plesant surprise. . . If you havent got the want/ strength to ask from your heart. Ask Him for the grace to truly want to know Him.
i call it trip pee
Meditation is not meant to be done in screen. It is your imagination and being aware of yourself. I love VR but I don’t think this is going to provide any benefits whatsoever.
Hi Anurag :) Thank you for the comment
I understand what you are saying. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve through meditation? Visualise and imagine your own thoughts? Here this app would not help.
But I think like this: If you want to take a meditation session to let go of all of the thoughts, this app can definitely help to do so through the breath work.
Of course not a replacement, more like an add-on :)
Best wishes to you :)
I understand being a purist, but when you've tried it and have a hard time quieting your mind or getting in the zone, this is the target audience. That's why I got mine. I hope I'll get better and be better able to do it without the assistance.
