Qué entender
A week-long progression of time and rhythm with the wooden fish.
Seven days with a wooden fish is a chance to become familiar with rhythm, not a course in mastering technique. Small progress gives ear and hand time to learn what feels natural.
Cómo practicar
For the first two days, only listen to or tap one minute; on days 3–4, add a phrase; days 5–6, vary speed very slightly; on day 7, choose the most stable rhythm. Rest whenever the hand tightens.
Empieza poco a poco, elige un ritmo que te vaya bien y date permiso para volver mañana.
- Elige un tiempo breve, por ejemplo cinco minutos.
- Baja el ritmo cuando lo necesites y observa lo que ocurre.
- Cierra con una campana o una respiración consciente.
Un recordatorio útil
An even, light sound is usually better than striking hard. If you follow a specific tradition, prioritize the community’s guided rhythm.

What if I only have a little time today?
Use the smallest possible version, even if it is only one minute. Keeping a small appointment with yourself is often more useful than waiting for a perfect window.
Do I need to do it perfectly?
An even, light sound is usually better than striking hard. If you follow a specific tradition, prioritize the community’s guided rhythm. The aim is to notice and return, not to create the same experience every day.
