Timed Sessions

Timed sessions are perfect for any time you don’t have your Muse headband with you, like when you’re traveling or if you’ve lent your Muse to someone.

With Timed sessions, you’ll be entered into an immersive soundscape to help you find your calm no matter when or where you are.

Timed session data and cultivating a regular practice

During a Timed Meditation experience, you’ll hear a light, relaxing soundscape and occasional guidance. You won’t receive moment-to-moment feedback or birds, but your minutes, streaks, goals, and challenges will still count toward your overall session count.
 

Cultivating a regular practice

Mindfulness can sometimes be thought of as looking a certain way or being done at a certain time. Closer to the truth is that what mindfulness looks like varies widely from culture to culture and even person to person.

Recognizing this, there’s no barrier to where and when you can bring sessions into your life, such as:

• Traveling abroad or on the local train

• Going for a walk or sitting down to lunch

• In the moments between or during a busy work day
   

Tracking your progress can be a huge help! Many people find their practice is best served when done regularly, and Timed Meditations allow you to track your practice no matter where you are or how much time you have.
