Meditate
A little space to arrive.
Choose a length that feels possible today. When sound is available, one singing bowl chime begins your sitting and three gentle chimes are scheduled at its completion.
Self-guided timer
Sit for as long as you need.
There is no perfect length. A few minutes of honest attention is already a meaningful beginning.
This timer lives only in this browser tab. Reloading or closing the page resets your session. For the most dependable timing and bowl chimes, keep the page open and your device awake; a background tab or locked screen may pause the timer or silence sound.
A five-second countdown gives you time to settle in.
Choose any whole number from 1 to 120 minutes.
Five seconds to settle in, then one chime begins your full sitting when sound is available. Three chimes are scheduled when it ends.
Sound is checked when you begin; the timer remains available without it.
An original Quiet Path bowl tone, with a soft strike and a lingering fade.
Before you begin
Find a posture you can sustain. Let the first bell be enough of an arrival.
When the mind wanders
Notice that you have wandered, then return gently to the body and breath.
When the bells return
Take one unhurried breath before moving. You do not need to rush back.
Guided meditation
Return gently.
A guided introduction, time to practice in silence, and a gentle close.
The same spoken guidance accompanies each sitting. Longer sessions give you more quiet time to practice.
Ready
Ready when you are.
Choose a length, then begin.

Meditation is not a performance. It is a chance to notice what is here, and to meet it with a little more patience.
