Joystick Yoga?

user submitted pictureHave you ever watched people playing video games? Their eyes wild with adrenalin, wrists twisting around a joystick and hollering as if life on Earth truly depended on annihilating the dragon ninja–it’s kinda freaky. And, as your mother would sniff, an enormous waste of time. But a new trend in game development has better health in mind for all the X Box addicts out there. The Journey to the Wild Divine by Wild Divine Project uses Kabbalah and other meditative tools to inspire relaxation and decrease stress, and CyberLearning Technology has a successful alternative to ADD using neurofeedback. They’ve even got games to cure phobias, raise self-esteem and lower your blood pressure. Of course, that makes playing video games practical and useful, which is kind of beside the point.
