In an approach to bridge the realms of mindfulness and gaming, a new podcast, Mindfulness for Gamers, is set to launch on 7 February.
Hosted by the experienced mindfulness teacher and podcast host, Shaun Donaghy, known for his successful Mindfulness for Beginners series, this new podcast combines a blend of humour, meditation, and gaming to address the mental health crisis facing some young individuals today.
It’s said that mindfulness supports emotional regulation, helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression and that several meta-analyses show the benefits to mental and physical health.
The podcast aims to make meditation accessible and enjoyable for a gaming audience by utilising stories from gaming worlds such as Pokemon, Skyrim, Minecraft, and more.
It seeks to revolutionise the approach to mental well-being by offering a unique combination of mindfulness concepts and humour, setting out to reduce stress, depression, and suffering among young people.
From Pickaxe, the gaming podcast network from The Yogscast, Mindfulness for Gamers will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Pickaxe.
