What Is a 15 Minute Meditation Timer?
A 15 minute meditation timer is the natural next step after ten minutes. The extra five minutes give the mind time to settle more deeply, and the halfway bell at 7:30 gives you one gentle check-in. It uses the same bells as our meditation timer online.
How to Use the 15 Minute Meditation Timer
- Press Begin and find a posture you can hold without strain.
- After the opening bell, follow the breath for the first half.
- When the halfway chime rings, check your posture and relax your jaw and shoulders.
- Continue until three bowl strikes close the sit.
Prefer no reminder? Switch to the Count Down tab; the timer stays at 15 minutes with only opening and closing bells.
Moving From 10 to 15 Minutes
Add minutes gradually. Stay at ten for a week or two, then try fifteen three days a week before making it daily. Restlessness around minute eight or nine is common; the halfway bell is placed just before it to help you through.
Morning and Evening 15 Minute Sits
Morning
Sit before you check messages. Keep your eyes half open if you feel sleepy.

Sit away from the bed so the practice stays distinct from sleep. Lower the Sound slider for softer bells.
