How to use
- Start with Meditation Temple (bell + flute + wind chimes) or Ocean Waves for a simpler bed.
- Set the timer to your sit length (15, 30, or 60 min) — the fade-out signals the end of the session.
- Lower the bell frequency by increasing its minDelay if you prefer a quieter sit.
- Use the same mix daily so the sound becomes a conditioned cue for entering practice.
FAQ
How loud should meditation sounds be?
Barely audible. The sound should support attention, not pull it. A master volume between 0.25 and 0.4 is a good starting point for most rooms.
Is silence better than ambient sound for meditation?
Silence is the gold standard but it's also the hardest on a noisy day. A soft ambient bed masks distractions so you can settle faster, then you can fade it down as the sit deepens.
Can I use this for sound bath style sessions?
Yes — add the bell with a shorter minDelay (4–8 s) and the wind chime with a 5–12 s window for a gentle, continuous chime texture.
Sound as an anchor
In practice, most people find that a very quiet ambient bed holds the
attention better than full silence — the brain stops hunting for
something to react to. The trick is to pick a texture that won't evolve
too much: ocean, forest, wind, and slow bells all sit in that sweet
spot.
Session-length mixes
- 15-min body scan — ocean + wind (interval 8 s). Low, steady, few events.
- 30-min breath — bell (random 8–20 s) + flute + wind chime. Gentle events anchor attention.
- 60-min longer sit — forest + bird + cricket. More variety helps across a long sit.
