O que 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.
Como praticar
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.
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
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.
