Xbox One Would you go for a Meditation App?

[thecreed4life]

Everybody's really loving the app eh? If MSFT can do something, they'll really do a lot of gamers a good favor when they have an app like Calm on the XB1.

They should! after all some of their games are quite stressful (haha. BF4)

I had quite a laugh when I read this. Haha. Well it's good that on my side (well when I last played BF4 which was a week ago) it didn't show the issues that I had before.

hahahaha XD BF4. Been hearing so much about this game causing a lot of others stress. Maybe the Calm app developers should develop a specific meditation session:

The BF4 De-Stress. XD Just hearing the lady in the app say, "Remove yourself from the Second Assault and the terror in the cities... to breathe" XD

I know, but what do you think about when meditating? Or do you not think about anything? My mind always wanders.

Me? Well, according to the Calm app, specifically when I do the 7 Steps of Calm, the lady narrator (well, what can I do? It's a lady narrating XD), you don't really have to try and not think about anything. You let your thoughts be like clouds in the sky. You know they're there but you don't have to mind them. What you do is take a nice seat in comfortable position on a chair or cushion, close your eyes and for maybe 2-5 minutes, you breathe in and out. See, when you use the app, the lady narrator will tell you to concentrate on parts of the body. You try to feel the body as it is in the present. It's okay if your mind wanders, she says, because it's all about going back to what it's important: you as you meditate. You simply just let the thoughts be there.

If you need to know what drifts in my mind when I meditate: girls, games, life, music, clouds, thoughts... and I sometimes imagine my thoughts to be a bunch of people in a party XD So it's okay swagger. Don't be discouraged if thoughts start making you wander. Just breathe and then concentrate on your body and breathing.

Here use this: http://www.calm.com/ <------- this is the web version of the app the users here are using. Try it.

Wow, since when did thecreed4life become the expert in meditation? Good to know you're teaching a fellow XB1Forums user get into the world of meditation.

Love this. Haha. Best post ever.

 

[spark_777]

Love this. Haha. Best post ever.

XD hahahahahahahah. I agree. He really just let it out. Girls go within his mind too XD And... a party of people? thecreed4life's thoughts are really weird sometimes

 

[thecreed4life]

Love this. Haha. Best post ever.

:-D Thank you. Hahaha, it's true. That's what drifts in my mind when I meditate. And yes, you saw it: girls. Hahaha. A guy's got girls in their thoughts. But like I said, I imagine these thoughts as a party.

 

[Anomaly0302]

I totally agree. We can't help but think about girls everytime we imagine. Haha.

 

[ragnafable11]

Right on pal. Haha. I guess that's what most guys think just to relax.

 

[Fullmetalpanic009]

Yeah, I think you should add "hot" before girls right there. That's what I imagine a lot at work whenever I'm stressed. haha.

 

[spark_777]

Yes, thecreed4life, it's all about the girls in our minds! :-D I think of them too sometimes when I meditate. I'm not some sexual predator or something but sometimes, the girls give me relaxation too :3 but hey, I also relax when I think of the sun. Yahoo!

Hahahaha XD Yes, girls. And yup, "hot" girls too. They go in my mind. As for the girls who read this, I'm sure "guys" go in your minds too. So in a way, meditation isn't something you do to take these thoughts away. You're just aware they're there. Eventually, the thoughts will just be there and you'll be able to concentrate on what's important: your body. But hey, it's nice to have the thoughts be there. You don't have to force them away. As many people who venture deep into the meditation experience, you'll eventually be able to slowly go away from the party and be at one with yourself. THAT's the goal of meditation. :-D But if you like to have the happy thoughts with you, be my guest ;-D

Rock on man! Hahahah. Meditation's a good thing, even when thoughts like yours pops up every now and then.

Not bad, haha. I'd rather have something like that, but well my wife my beat me half dead if I go through that, I'd rather think of my baby girl.

I guess any wife would do that if something like that pops on your mind and they see it on Xbox One.

 

[Anomaly0302]

I agree. I guess I have to keep myself to being strictly into the meditation and not into naughty thoughts.

 

[ragnafable11]

I agree. I guess I have to keep myself to being strictly into the meditation and not into naughty thoughts.

haha. too bad. Well, it's better to imagine stuff while meditating that your wife catching you watching porn.

 

[marthyrocks]

XD whoa dood, how did meditation get into porn now? Hahahaha XD Yeah, better than being caught. XD hahaha what the heck am I saying?! Okay, I'll stop now XD
