Frequently Asked Questions About Meditating in Virtual Reality

How does virtual reality meditation differ from regular meditation?

Virtual reality meditation helps by taking you away from the distractions of your surroundings and moving you into a calm and controlled environment.

One of the largest obstacles for beginners in meditation is struggles with keeping eyes closed and sitting still for an extended period of time. In virtual reality the meditator is asked to keep eyes open and not feel restricted to a seated position.

Meditation in virtual reality involves more of your senses than traditional meditation. Virtual reality meditation invites you to use both your hearing and vision to find the inner state of mind you are looking for in your meditation practice.

Why meditate in Virtual Reality (VR)?

Virtual reality meditation can help you deal with the stress and struggles of everyday life. By putting a VR headset on, you can find yourself in a meaningful environment that helps you let go and relax.

Can I use Flow for the nature, without the guided meditation?

Yes, you can customise your virtual reality experience in Flow and choose whether you want to keep the meditation guidance and music on or off when you go into a nature location. Going into nature to relax and enjoy its authentic sounds is a form of mindfulness itself.

What people say about Flow

John-Mark on SideQuest

“Exactly what I expected. Living in a big city, I need these views of nature. I can meditate, but I appreciate firstly the ability to rest without music and text. I even do my workout with it, nicer to be at the beach or elsewhere with the sun than being at 6 am in a dark room!"

Nick on Oculus

“Wonderful. This app brought me home by helping me remember what truly matters. Soft, calming, empowering and above all true.”

Magnus on Oculus

"I wanted to stay in the environment longer after the meditation was done but it kicks you back to the menu. Then I realized you can add extra sessions of the same meditation without music and talk in the playlist which lets you stay as long as you want. I found that very useful."

Emma on SideQuest

“Great app! Beautiful locations and great quality videos. I love the option to remove the talking it is great so that I can just listen to the natural sounds of the environment."

Annie on SideQuest

“Lovely. Meditation is difficult for me, but this app helps. Am looking forward to its expansion."

Brigitte on SideQuest

“Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. An escape in nature's most beautiful REAL (no fake cartoon) environments. Such a wonderful way to wake up in the morning or take a break at any point."

Gabriella on Oculus

“Stunning nature. Just wish there were more. How about on top of a mountain?"
