Mindfulness Gong Yoga Timer, sycamore

Many meditation teachers recommend the chiming of a gong as an ideal tool for recollection of mindfulness, not only during sitting meditation when thoughts wander away, but also throughout the day. This is the strength of the MINDFULNESS TIMER.

The programmed interval should vary frequently to avoid habitual patterns and keep mindfulness alert.
Also, in this Mindfulness Timer, the chime of the gong accompanies your practice. The Mindfulness Timer combines the functions both of the Meditation Gong Timer and the Interval Reiki Gong Timer.

The Mindfulness Awareness Timer can be set in two steps:

1. Selection of the total duration of the sitting. Eight possibilities: 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60 or 90 minutes.
2. Selection of the interval period. Eight possibilities: 0 (no chime throughout the meditation period, as with the Meditation Timer) or every 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes.

Then:
· Three chimes of the gong signal the beginning of the session.
· One gong chime is heard at the selected frequency (or none if the « 0 » interval has been selected).
· Three chimes signal the end of the session.These will be preceded by several lighter, softer ones. A few seconds later the working light will automatically switch off.


The Mindfulness Yoga-Timer is very useful for meditators who seriously wish to train themselves. It is used to alternate periods of concentration on various objects of meditation or on various visualizations. Also to move from a period of focused attention to one of contemplation.
And when meditation becomes a « way of being », the MINDFULNESS-TIMER remains a welcome reminder of mindfulness at any moment of the day.

Further information:
The Symbol: The lower part symbolizes the ceaseless circle of thoughts - or the cycle of samsara. The line which rises up in a spiral represents the strength of Mindfulness which has the power to extract us from the cycle and to progress higher and higher until full awakening of the heart faculties.
When we are aware of the meaning of this symbol, a simple glance at it during the day can be a reminder of mindfulness and gently bring us back to the present moment.

The wooden part of the Mindfulness Timer pyramid is entirely handmade in solid sycamore wood. It is built to the perfect proportions of the Kheops pyramid, which Feng Shui specialists consider as a source of powerful energy, stability and balance.
Measures: 13,5 x 13,5 cm. Height ca. 10,5 cm.

The sound of the Mindfulness Timer is that of a Tibetan singing bowl digitally recorded, which gives it a very pure quality. There are 2 volume control options.
The Mindfulness Timer runs on 4 AA batteries (not included).
