The Zen Timepiece can also be more actively incorporated into your meditation practice as a form of “mantra” or “yantra.” Mantra is a sanskrit word which means “mental protection.” In Eastern meditation traditions, a mantra takes the form of a word or sound which is chanted to occupy the mind and keep disturbing thoughts from distracting the meditator. A yantra is used in Eastern meditation traditions as an image upon which the meditator concentrates until it “disappears.”

The Zen Timepiece’s bowl strikes can be used as a sort of external mantra or sonic yantra. The clock’s countdown mode repeat function (the interval timer) allows the bowl to be struck repeatedly at any set period, so that as the strikes repeat, they serve to bring you back to the focal point of concentration.
