À quoi sert meditation timer (10 minutes) ?

The settling phase

Most beginners report that the first 4-5 minutes of any sit is fidgety — the body still adjusting, the mind still planning. The settling phase begins past that initial discomfort. Ten minutes gives you genuine post-fidget time, which is where the actual practice happens.

Open monitoring vs concentration

Many traditions distinguish concentration practices (anchor on a single object, usually the breath) from open monitoring (notice whatever arises without grabbing). Both work; ten minutes is the lower bound where the differences become noticeable. Pick one and stick to it for a few weeks before switching.

Daily streak territory

Researchers find a meaningful threshold for cognitive and stress-marker improvements at consistent daily 10-minute practices over 8 weeks. Five minutes is for habit-building; ten is for accumulating real change. Use the same LED at the same time of day to lock in the consistency.

Questions fréquentes

Should I work up from 5 to 10 minutes?
Standard advice. Two weeks at 5, then move to 10 once the habit is solid. Jumping straight to longer sits is the most common reason people quit.
Does the chime ring through Bluetooth earbuds?
Yes — Web Audio plays through whatever the OS output is set to.
Is the LED distracting in a darkened room?
Turn the screen down or face the device away from you. The chime fires regardless of whether you can see the LED.
Can I bookmark this URL?
Yes — every landing page URL is stable and starts the countdown immediately.
