Meditation Timer – Guided Timer for Meditation and Mindfulness
The meditation timer guides your meditation session with starting bell, interval chimes, and ending bell. Choose duration (5-60 min), bell types, and background sounds for undisturbed meditation.
The tool supports different meditation methods: basic mindfulness, body scan, loving-kindness, and breathing meditation. You can set interval bells to remind you to return focus and save favorite session settings.
How long should you meditate each day?
Studies show that just 10-15 minutes of daily meditation reduces stress, improves concentration, and lowers blood pressure. For beginners, 5-10 minutes is a good starting point. MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) programs use 45 minutes of daily practice, but smaller doses still bring benefits. Consistency is more important than duration.
