5-part Meditation

Some practice a style of meditation that has five intervals. 5-part meditation is sometimes called chaotic meditation, active meditation, or dynamic meditation (Osho Active Meditation).

This meditative practice is quite active in contrast to the sedentary, silent techniques most associate with meditation. Each of the five segments has a specific activity associated with it.

If this is your practice, you may need a simple, unobtrusive way to measure the 5 equal time increments. Here are three times with intervals of 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, punctuated by a single bell.

1 minute  [bell]  1 minute  [bell]  1 minute  [bell]  1 minute  [bell]  1 minute   [bell]
2 minute  [bell]  2 minute  [bell]  2 minute  [bell]  2 minute  [bell]  2 minute   [bell]
5 minute  [bell]  5 minute  [bell]  5 minute  [bell]  5 minute  [bell]  5 minute   [bell]
