Using the ENSO in your yoga and meditation practice

Decide on how long your practice will be (say 1 hour). Check out the time on your ENSO Pearl (say, 6:40am) and determine your end time (7:40 am in this example). I personally don’t set the timer for the end of my practice, as I use the ENSO Pearl throughout my practice, and time my relaxation (Savasana) to finish at the end time.

Meditation

The ENSO Pearl makes a perfect companion for your meditation. Set the timer for the period you require to meditate. Have the ENSO Pearl close by, in a visible position, either propped up on its stand or lying flat on the floor. Press the ENSO button and hold for 2 seconds – this removes the potentially distracting numbers on the clock face. This function enables you to gently take in visual time elapsed by viewing the brush stroke on the face of the ENSO Pearl.

ENSO Pearl supports A Course in Miracles lessons

Gloria Oelman of South Australia wrote to tell us that she uses her ENSO to support her practice of A Course in Miracles lessons…. “I’ve had a variety of timers over the years and this is by far the best. I use the ENSO for meditation. I also study A Course in Miracles and that has a workbook with affirmations that often require frequent periodic repetitions, so I use it for that too…”

While A Course in Miracles doesn’t suggest daily meditation in the traditional sense of the word, the journey through the 365 daily lessons essentially is a journey into meditation and mindfulness.
As with any other meditation practice, Course students will recognise that while the approach called for in the daily lessons is not of itself complicated, it is a daily challenge to find the dedication needed to undertake the lessons as prescribed. The Course explains that this is our ego in action. It would rather keep us focused in the dramas of our daily lives, rather than support us to ‘return Home’ to ourselves and find true peace.

Mobile Phone & Sleep

It seems there is very little a mobile phone can’t do – the days of using phones for just telling the time are long gone. But the question remains – are mobile phones good for us or are they a curse in disguise?

Mobile phones have become, in many cases, another appendage to our body. We can’t go anywhere without them. Teenagers in particular tend to keep their phones with them wherever they go, including to bed. They often leave them under their pillow on ‘vibrate’ in case they miss a call or text from a friend. This has led
to some very concerning studies
around the safety of mobile phones at bedtime. Telephone makers’ own scientists have discovered that bedtime use of mobile phones can lead to headaches, confusion and depression. Read Full Article
