Meditation is a process of relaxing the mind and the body to release stress and recharge the self. Meditators use various types of meditation to get in touch with their energy body to enable overall health. However, it is found that an effective timer is required to make meditators aware of time lapsed while meditating. Meditation timers are designed to enable meditators clock their meditation time.
Meditation timers were mainly developed to allow meditators to know that the time has come to move out of their trance state. People usually have limited time and prefer to set a time period of five, ten, fifteen or thirty minutes in which they have to complete their meditation exercises. Some people also choose to use meditation timers as their alarm cloaks to help them start their day with pleasant sounds. Many meditators see meditation timers as a tool for progressive awakening, where they can work on their dreams as well as affirmations. Meditation timers are used in meditation classes to facilitate a gentle way of starting or ending meetings and sessions on time.
Meditation timers allow the meditators to direct their full attention to the meditation process and not worry about looking at the clock frequently to check the time lapsed. Meditators, who have limited time, can attune themselves into meditating without any distractions and gain the maximum benefit in the minimum possible time.
Meditation timers are usually designed with pleasant sounds of chimes and bells to bring a fresh clear sound in the surrounding. Meditation timers come in the form of an electronic device, a tape, or a CD recording. The taped recordings usually have a spiritual chant such as ‘Om’ at the specified time interval followed by silence. Some meditation timers can even be attached with the phone to convert the conventional ring into a pleasant chime or music. They can be purchased locally or online after hearing the chimes integrated with the sound system of the meditation timer.
