Alarm or timer with periodic chimes

What about the in-built phone timer? You can find a sound for it on the Internet and download it to your phone.

Just train yourself to have gentle positive thoughts after clearing your mind . Clear your mind of negative thoughts and then focus on positive or preferred thoughts.

Or just learn to enjoy the sound of your own voice and the beating of your heart

A phone would work - but would only disrupt further.


If you can only meditate for 3 minutes before your mind wanders....meditate for 3 minutes at a time and increase the time gradually. Meditation is training your mind - takes practice but a few minutes at a time is fine.

Here is a oldy that use to be recommended. The Pomodoro Timer. You can set it to short intervals. Here is a link to one company selling them (Not an affiliate link ) TomatoTimers - Custom Pomodoro Timer and To-do List As others have said you can also download a app to you phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hl=en_US&gl=US and if you have a Apple phone this list recommends one - https://zapier.com/blog/best-pomodoro-apps/

it is very helpfull

Got it. I found an app called interval timer. Now I set it for 30 minutes and I get a gentle gong every 6 minutes ... it's a complete repurposing but works fantastic!

Hai,
I understood your problem because I was also having the same issue before. But there is a solution for this. You can find an app on Google Playstore called DOWN DOG for meditation. This app is specifically built for meditation. It has many settings in it and a voice that guides you throughout your meditation period without letting you off-track.
Hope this could help you :-) if this did please let me know

I'm glad you found an app that works for you! I might check it out now! I had been using YouTube timers. I use them for workouts too, like 40 sec work and 15 sec rest, though the intervals aren't very gentle on those ones!

Driftin' unhelpfully between strategisin', reverie, an' bitin' the head offa yr childhood bear?

Likely you heard evrywan say: Dear Sweet Jeezis ... you totally ****ed.

Plus a punchline!

Prolly I should say more 'bout the natchrl sustainin' & evokin' powahs of floppin' out all juicy as a dedicated yogah gal, but I figure that is like dowin' sum fkr else's homework cain't get to this place.
