![]() In just moments you can fully customize each session. This is the Reiki timer you’ll use for your daily self practice, for sharing treatments with a friend or in a Reiki circle, and for group practice when teaching a class or leading a Reiki clinic or circle. And one of my favorite features-your phone stays open while the timer is in use, so you don’t have to worry about the timer shutting off when your screen closes. It’s so easy to set up and you can change your settings in seconds. I couldn’t find a timer with the ease and customization needed to inspire people to practice, so I designed this one to be the Timer of your Dreams! ![]() And it’s a huge support for teachers holding classes and events. I know an easy-to-use, easy-to-customize Reiki timer makes it easier to practice on yourself-most important!-as well as on family and friends. But I guess we are an exception.As a Reiki professional since 1986, I’m always encouraging Reiki students to practice regularly so you can feel better no matter what challenges you might be facing. That’s just not enough for those of us who have up to 50 hours of meditation at 3-week retreats every winter. I chose to simply add the label “Acem Meditation”, since I would like more people to know about this method.įor those of us who do round-the-clock meditations from time to time, it’s a pity that this timer can’t include meditation periods of more than 23 hours and 59 minutes. You can also add a greeting to those who see you’re meditating. ![]() You can, if you wish, also link this feature to your Facebook page, and only yesterday somebody who had apparently “seen” me meditating this way asked to be my “friend”. I regularly look into the meditation habits of a few of my friends! You will also be able to see who else is meditating, or has recently been meditating, including how long they meditate and how many minutes are left of their meditation period. You can also not create your own category.Īssuming that you know what you are doing, these labels are unimportant, except if you link up to Insight Connect, where you can (if you wish) tell the whole world that you are meditating (or doing yoga, or whatever). You can choose to call your activity “Meditation”, “Yoga”, “Exercise”, “Reiki” or nothing at all, though as far as I can tell, you can’t have one preset for meditation, another for yoga etc., which is a weakness for those of us who practise both. You can also write your own password-protected meditation journal, though I’ve never done that. I know some people find this to be of help in establishing or keeping regular meditation habits. I don’t usually do that, but now when I look it up, I can see how much I meditated on every day since I started using it – or every day since I last deleted the log, or at least every day that I used this timer to measure my meditation time. If you wish, you can also use it to keep a log. Once you have set that, you don’t need to do it anew every time. But you can also have presets for, say, 30 minutes of meditation and 5 minutes of rest before and/or after. Mine are quite simple: “Half hour”, “Three quarters”, “One hour” etc. You can make presets, which is very practical. You may even make your iPhone display different labels at various times during the session. You can also choose to start with one sound introducing your meditation period, and to have any number of different interval sounds, if your practice requires changes as you go along. The standard ones sound very Buddhist, though quite nice even if that’s not your religious or meditative preference. In contrast to your wristwatch version, it can produce any number of different sounds. Its most basic function is the same as that of any countdown timer: You decide when the bell should ring, and it does.īut there is more. You can choose between a free and a paid version, but even the paid version costs so little that I don’t remember which of them I have. ![]() It used to be called “Zen Timer”, but probably appears less sectarian with its new name. Now you have the choice between a number of advanced apps for your iPhone, and I’m sure for many other smartphones. Then your wristwatch got a countdown timer. In the olden days, you had the choice between a noisy alarm clock or just opening your eyes a little to watch your wristwatch.
