* Halfway through the battle against Elyon in ''[[Breath of Fire]]: Dragon Quarter'', he "begins meditating", with a very large targetting circle locked onto one party member. After three turns, lightning strikes that character and anything nearby, inflicting [[One-Hit Kill|quadruple-digit damage]].
* In [[Bad Machinery|John Allison]]'s ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' side-strip ''Giant Days'', Esther's new friend Daisy [http://scarygoround.com/gd/index.php?date=20101110 flops down into Lotus position (sort of) during a fight] and then [http://scarygoround.com/gd/index.php?date=20101111 unleashes the awesome power of Yogic Flying]. [[George Harrison]] does not approve.
* In the [[Pokémon]] games, Mewtwo is said to spend its time meditating to increase its mental powers.
** Meditate is an attack which raises the user's Attack by one stage. Calm Mind, introduced in the third generation of games, raises the user's Special Attack and Special Defense by one stage each.
* In ''[[Guild Wars]]: Factions'', final boss {{spoiler|Shiro Tagachi}} has the attack "Meditation of the Reaper". He goes into a meditative state and nullifies the next 500 damage he takes while in that state. He stays in the stance for 30 seconds, or until he's taken that 500 damage, whichever isoccurs shorterfirst. You do ''not'' want him to spend the full 30 seconds in meditation, because as soon as the stance ends, he steals 20 health from each party member for each second he was in the stance. For those of you playing at home, that's ''600 damage'' to ''everyone in the party'' if he stays in it for 30 seconds.
* [[In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', meditating sims can teleport.
