### A Comparative Analysis

You can train your mind to focus using games such as the [brain game](https://bhq-bhq.heroku.com/play/brainhq?gclid=CKe9p87D268CFQ7sKgodv3QCEg#ex-select/attention "focus-brain-game") from positscience.com or you can train your mind to focus with meditation. Let's compare the two approaches, since each has its own benefits.

 | ### Characteristics |  |  |  | ### Meditation |  |  | ### Brain Game |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Concentration Required |  |  |  | Yes |  |  | Yes |
| Concentration Improved |  |  |  | Yes |  |  | Yes |
| Learn to Relax |  |  |  | Yes |  |  | No |
| Mindfulness Practice |  |  |  | Yes |  |  | No |
| Improves Health |  |  |  | Yes |  |  | Varies |

###

As you can see from the table above, both the brain game and meditation improve your concentration skills. The main difference with meditation and the brain game is the need to judge during the activity. In the brain game, you have to make judgements about what you are seeing before you take action. During meditation you learn to let go of your thoughts and focus in the moment. You learn to relax your mind and allow the moment to just happen. This is considered a state of mindfulness, which has many benefits such as relieving stress.

Meditation also improves your health because you learn to remain in a state of relaxation. When you are relaxed, there is less pressure(stress) and your health improves. When playing the brain games one does not learn to relax and let go. Some if not many people will tend to contract during this game. This is due to the competitive nature of the game. Also, many people may not be aware that they are in a contracted state because this is their normal state of being. It is not until you learn to relax that you can understand your previous state of being. Learning to relax and to let go takes practice and is a wonderful skill to have in society today.

Whether you play the brain game, learn to meditate or do both is a matter of personal choice. Your choice depends on what you need in your life in this moment.

  The brain on meditation and a game can certainly make the game theory really work the mind body connection. CONGRATS! :D ---
