It may seem silly at first to practice mediatation with the Wii, but the truth is that many of us could use a tool for stress reduction in our lives, yet don't know how to go about finding one.

While this is useful for short periods, today's stresses are more long term, creating a situation of tense muscles and increased breathing rates.
