Because that's where the timer is.
There's nothing worse than being jolted from a blissful state by a high-pitched buzzer. For a second I don't know where I am and I don't know whether to answer the door or check the spuds in the oven.
I found a great resource for us lone meditators - MyZendo.com. Great little website with pre-programmed meditations. Everything from 15 minute quickies to 90 minute long hauls with spaced walking meditations. You simply click on the button you want. You get about 10 seconds to settle into position then you hear three gentle resonating bells - just like the ones at your favorite Zen Center. One final bell at the end. That's it. No muzak, no commercials, no spam in your inbox. Just a pure, useful service.

i love this blog. it's informative, engaging & the graphic design is tip top.
very easy to look at & admire.
i'll be sending my clients here to get alot of information in a short time.
beautiful.
