Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a beginner meditate?
Start with 5 minutes daily. Consistency matters more than duration. After 2 weeks, increase to 10 minutes. Most experienced meditators practice 15-20 minutes. Even 1 minute of mindful breathing has measurable benefits.
What do the interval bells do?
Interval bells gently ring at set intervals (every 1, 2, or 5 minutes) to bring your attention back to the present moment without ending the session. They're especially helpful for beginners who lose focus.
Is this suitable for Vipassana meditation?
Yes. The timer works for any meditation tradition: Vipassana, Zen, mindfulness, loving-kindness, or transcendental. It simply counts time with optional bells — you bring your own technique.
