Что важно понять
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.
Как практиковать
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.
Начните с малого, выберите подходящий темп и позвольте себе вернуться завтра.
- Выберите короткое время, например пять минут.
- Замедляйтесь, когда нужно, и замечайте происходящее.
- Завершите ударом колокола или одним осознанным вдохом.
Полезное напоминание
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?
