It is this: Deep meditation, the act of stilling yourself and calming the mind and working with the breath and maybe reciting a mantra or clearing your chakras or running a nice bolt of golden energy up and down your spine, can have a positive effect on your worldview, can inject some divine love juice into your core and make you more sympathetic, kinder, more apt to feel a natural inclination toward generosity and compassion and helping people who might be, you know, screaming. No matter, because the fact remains it is was one of those nice studies that deigns to reveal a helpful factoid that millions of people, and thousands of teachers and gurus and healers, have known for roughly a billion years.
And when this group heard the same woman screaming in distress, their brains also lit up, only this time it was those parts that said, “Huh, chick screaming in distress, let us now reach for the remote control and turn up the volume on this delightful episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ to drown out that obnoxious sound, because, you know, how annoying, and, by the way, I could really use a Bud Light and some guns right about now.” It’s not exactly news 2, only minus most of the experienced meditation part. Then they did a similar thing with Group No. 1 over here, hooking them up to a nifty array of happyfun electrodes and letting them begin their deep and experienced meditation practice, and then, at some point, suddenly blasting the sound of a woman screaming in distress right into their prefrontal lobes like a swell little ice pick of terror.Īnd then the researchers observed which parts of the meditators’ brains lit up and noted that it was the hunks related to empathy and compassion and also the parts that say, “Hey, that screaming can’t be good, and I think I’ll get up and go help that poor woman.” The timer will look good and work correctly on any device, from computers to tablets to phones.I’m not exactly clear on how they did it. (The "count-down" timer can't alert you upon reaching zero if your device is asleep, but it will keep counting.) The timer keeps counting even if your phone or computer goes to sleep. You can set beautiful meditation chimes to ring at the start of your meditation session, at the end, and at intervals during the session.

(The log is part of a Medivate account, which is free and easy to set up.) When your session is finished, the timer automatically sends your minutes to your meditation log, where you can record when you meditated, and public or private thoughts about your session. Track your meditation sessions in a personal meditation log.The timer counts up from zero, or down from a time you set.
We're very proud of the result (but feedback is always appreciated), and we hope it helps you in your meditation practice! We wanted it to be beautiful, simple, and easy to use on any kind of device. We designed the Medivate timer to be the best online meditation timer available.
