Back in the 80's, there was a videogame company called Amiga (they're the ones who made the Amiga computer). Their very first product was the "Joyboard", a balance controller similar in many ways to the modern Wii balance board. An in-house game they developed was called "Guru Meditation", where all you did was sit still on the balance board for as long as you could.
I was hoping that someone would do a meditation game for the Wii Balance board, just like the old Amiga game. So I was surprised to unlock and discover Wii Fit's "Lotus Focus" minigame, which is a meditation game! You sit still on the balance board with legs folded in a lotus position, and watch an onscreen candle in the darkness. Various things try to distract your attention, like moths fluttering about and people creaking about in the night. The longer you can stay still, the better your score. Very cool.
I'm accumulating lots of tips and observations as I work out with Wii Fit. I'm hoping to produce an omnibus review sometime in the near future, as well as an FAQ for Wii Fit with the tips I've discovered for using it effectively.

I'm a former Commodore-Amiga engineer, and wrote abut Wii Fit and Guru Meditation recently.
I'm thrilled to hear that it is in there!
