Imagine putting on a headset and being transported to a mountainside where the gentle sounds of nature wash over you. Instead of facing a blank wall in your home, you are staring out at a beautiful landscape far away from any distractions. An instant benefit of meditating in VR is the ability to block out your immediate surroundings quickly. Using noise-canceling headphones is an incredibly effective way to tune out noisy family members or loud traffic sounds. And once you place the headset on, you’re completely removing any visual distractions, too, even if that’s just light filtering through your eyelids.
