Video Games help TK?

[Dan]

Anyone hear of the game Brain Age for the Nintendo DS? It helps your thinking power by doing brain exercises. Well, I've been doing a 2 month study about it, and month 1, I played it for 15 minutes before attempting TK. Month 2, I just did regular excersises. (meditating, etc) Well, I had greater results during month 1, compared to the regular month 2. So, does this game really help TK, or am I just losing it?

hmm it could be that the game relaxes your mind and makes you zone out a bit, which is the right mental state to be in.

Yes, i also have that game! Although how hard it is, I have recently realised how much better i'm able to do tk. So, i'm guessing, playing CERTAIN video games helps.

Other types of games can also effect the mind in other ways. I used to play first person shooters a ton, and that is what allows me to basically hear what people are going to do. (only in the game though)

I think I will have to try that out though, I have yet to get even a single twitch in over a month. Though I must admit I have not tried as much as I would like.

I knew I liked that game when I played it at walmart. That game is the one reason I'd want a DS....maybe I can find and emulator or something, think that'd work?

i noticed that too! i have barin age for the ds and after i play maybe 30 minutes of it, i try tk and i was better than the day before.

But also If you play the game and there is a task in it that you find very hard to perform you could get frusterated and stressed which could interfere with you practice's.
