You Can Now Meditate to John Lennon's 'Mind Games'
The app Lumenate has transformed the icon's 1973 peace and love anthem into nine different meditation mixes
You’ve probably meditated to John Lennon‘s music before, but now you can officially do it on the app Lumenate.
Lennon’s estate partnered with the company to deliver nine meditation mixes of “Mind Games,” the title track to his 1973 record. The song’s mixes are slowed down and extended — with four focusing on the brain waves Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Theta — that work with the app’s frequencies to drive listeners deeper into consciousness.
In addition, the nine mixes are paired with the phone’s flashlight to create a trippy psychedelic experience. The project launches today in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
“I’m very happy to be working with Lumenate on this release for Mental Health Awareness Month,” Sean Ono Lennon said in a statement. “I think our ‘Mind Games’ project is fun, meaningful, and potentially mind-expanding. I have been using the Lumenate app for my own personal meditations since it launched, and have had many profound experiences. My father was famously into meditation. I remember trying the ‘flicker machine’ he kept in the bedroom, which is what first introduced me to the idea of stroboscopic brain wave induction. I thought it made sense to combine the music of ‘Mind Games’ with the science of Lumenate. I really hope people enjoy the results as much as I have.”
