O que entender
Use a bell to begin, pause, and close a meditation session.
Meditating with a bell uses sound as a marker for beginning, pausing, and ending. These markers can make a quiet session less vague, especially when you are learning to hold a short period of time.
Como praticar
Hear one bell, follow it as it fades, then sit with the breath for a few minutes. When the final bell sounds, do not stand immediately; give yourself one breath to notice the body.
Comece pequeno, escolha um ritmo que caiba na sua vida e permita-se voltar amanhã.
- Escolha um tempo curto, como cinco minutos.
- Desacelere quando precisar e perceba o que está acontecendo.
- Encerre com um sino ou uma respiração consciente.
Um lembrete útil
The bell is only an invitation. If you miss it or become distracted, return from exactly where you are.

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?
