Frequently asked questions
What is a meditation timer?
A meditation timer is a simple countdown used for mindfulness, breathing practice, body scans, quiet reflection, journaling, or focused sitting.
How long should I meditate as a beginner?
Many beginners start with 3 to 10 minutes. A shorter session done consistently is usually more useful than a long session that is hard to repeat.
Can I use this for group meditation?
Yes. Use the timer on a shared screen for small groups, or create an XTimer room when one facilitator needs to control a separate viewer display.
