In addition to being a tool for burgeoning startups and lucrative companies, virtual reality is also a great way to escape the stress of everyday life. Whether you’re whisking away to another planet or sitting by the beach, a little virtual relaxing can do the body good. Now, virtual reality is being used as a therapeutic meditation tool to help people find their zen and reduce stress-related health issues.
Studies have shown that the practice of meditation positively affects the nervous system by lowering blood pressure, lessening symptoms of anxiety, fighting depression, and curbing insomnia.
In a collaboration with Deepak Chopra, a world-renowned mind-body healer and advocate for alternative medicine, Wevr, a Los Angeles-based VR studio, and Chopra’s son Gotham Chopra joined forces to explore how virtual reality will play an important role in the future of one’s well-being and understanding of the true nature of reality.
