Have you tried meditating with a metronome?

Try this shortcut to feeling calm and centered

Check out my site www.metromeditate.com to take a moment to meditate with my metronome straight away…

There are a whole different load of ways to “meditate”. I’m addressing that in the next post, but for now, I want to share one of the most surprisingly potent and easily accessible tools I use to anchor my breathing and mind.

Metro Meditate

I like to use some kind of active meditation to “settle” my mind, followed by a period of passive meditation. Metro Meditate is a tool that I built to quickly settle my mind — works through using the sound of a metronome to drive breath control (the idea of the metronome and meditation was first introduced to me via the wonderful yoga master Jo Phee).

The design

Metro meditate is timed on a 15 second cycle, which allows you to quickly slow your breathing to four breaths a minute. It teaches you the four separate parts of the breath cycle

Inhale — breathe deeply down to your belly

Retain — hold the full breath

Exhale — slowly exhale all breath until completely empty

Sustain — hold completely empty

Try it out here at www.metromeditate.com, and let me know what you think!

Or if you prefer to buy a physical metronome, check out this Korg one — it’s nice and compact with a good sound.
