How to practice

Choose a gentle sound, place the phone in Do Not Disturb mode, and set it a little away from you. Use one opening bell, a quiet timer for the main practice, and one closing bell.

A helpful reminder

A phone can also distract. Prepare the sound before sitting and avoid opening other apps or notifications during the session.
