I would like to thank you for your great customer service (and fast shipping!). The customer service was extremely impressive. After ordering I was contacted by a representative to talk about better shipping options due to the holidays. The items came packaged neatly and without damage. Both ordered items were for a holiday gift and he absolutely loved both the organic meditation cushion and the pyramid timer. I definitely will be coming back for future gifts. Thank you for the great experience!

Salubrion Enso Pearl Review

Salubrion Enso Pearl Review

The Enso Pearl is the second generation Enso Clock and Timer. The Pearl is a multifunctional timepiece packed with useful features including a clock, alarm clock, countdown timer, stop watch, repeating timer, programmable timer, and 5 selectable signal sounds.

While the clock is sophisticated and has more features than any one person might use, it is an easy-to-use device. One can program up to 50 unique time intervals into the timer. For example, it can be programmed to gong at 1 minute, followed by a gong at 2 minutes, followed by a gong at 1 minute and 25 seconds, followed by a gong at one hour, and so on. This, obviously, requires pressing a sequence of buttons that will require some practice and patience to set up. Once the sequence is programmed, it can be memorized using one of the T1, T2, or T3 buttons on the left side.

At the same time, the Enso Pearl can be used for a simple, single countdown, which is quite easy to set on the timer. Simply press the "Timer" button represented by the Hour Glass symbol on the upper left. Then, use the "-" and "+" buttons to set the timer down or up respectively. Once the desired time is set, press the "Start" button. At the end of the countdown, the timer will gong or play the selected sound, which is also quite easy to set.

As the clock runs and the seconds progress the timer paints a circle around the outside edge of the display. As the timer function counts down the circle is also slowly painted. This is where the Enso Pearl gets its name since "Enso" is Japanese for "Circle".

So, while many reviews of this timer have noted that the Enso Pearl is "too complicated", it is not necessarily true. Yes, it can be complicated if you want to program a sophisticated timing sequence. But, if you simply want to use it as a clock, an alarm clock, a simple countdown timer, or a stopwatch, it is really not more complicated to set than a Kitchen Timer.

The Enso Pearl is about the size of a DVD and the speaker, located on the back of the timer, is about the size of a quarter. Still, the sound quality is amazingly real. And, for those of you who want to wake up to a gong sound, but still need a loud alarm, the Enso Pearl has enough volume to wake just about anyone. The volume setting has a range from "0" (silent) to "9" (very loud). For meditation a setting of "1" or "2" will be subtle enough to bring you gently out of meditation. For timing your Yoga workout, a setting of "3" or "4" will be gentle enough to remind you without disrupting your calm state of mind. For timing a Reiki or Massage session, a setting of "5" or "6" will produce a nice gong that can be heard over any ambient music that might be playing.

The Enso Pearl has been around for quite a few years now. It is a refined and well-tested product. As a seller of this product, we've had very few returns and almost no defective units. Everyone who purchases the Enso Pearl has loved it, kept it, and used it daily.

The Midas Tree

Tuesday, 02 October 2012 15:57

Today's blog is from guest blogger Dr. Lesley Phillips (pictured), who will introduce her new book, The Midas Tree.

Meditation and the Mind, Body, Spirit Connection

Meditation Increases Awareness of the Physical Body

Dr. Lesley Phillips When your body, mind and spirit are balanced you experience good health. Yet, a crisis in any one of these can lead to imbalance. Meditation is a great tool to help maintain this equilibrium, no matter what is going on in your life.

Meditation helps connect body mind and spirit

Meditation helps you quiet your mind and tune into you. It also helps you to tune into your physical body. Many people find, when they first start to meditate, that the body demands a lot of attention. This is because we have a tendency to store our emotional pain inside it. By meditating, you increase your connection with your body and your awareness of what you have placed inside it.

Listen to your body’s physical signals

So if you start to notice that your back is aching or your eye is twitching, keep on meditating. Ignoring these signals does not create change it simply embeds them more deeply. In fact if you ignore it for long enough, you could even create a chronic condition. Meditation can help you become aware of the root cause of your physical afflictions, and it also provides a mechanism for healing and releasing them.

Emotions are communications from the body.

When you feel tired, but push yourself to keep going, your body may respond by being grumpy. If a relationship is stressful, your body may feel afraid or nervous. Of course it works the other way around too and the body will express happiness and joy in cheerful situations.

Just as in the above example, where physical pain was concerned, if we don’t listen to our bodies emotional signals a deeper issue can develop. Once again, the issue could eventually be expressed as illness or disease.

At the heart of each illness is a way of thinking that does not serve you.

For instance, digestive problems can indicate that you are having trouble “digesting” or accepting something. While inflammation in the joints may mean that you are judging yourself and others too harshly. Your back ache may be caused by a sense of having no emotional and financial support and a sore throat can indicate that you are not speaking up about something of concern.

Illness is a way our bodies seek to restore change by drawing attention to a problem so that we can cleanse built up negative manifestations of energy in our system.

The first step to regaining your equilibrium involves slowing down, eating healthy food and getting more rest. Once you have nurtured yourself, you can begin to listen to what your body is telling you by being sick.

Meditation is a way to create healing and change

Meditation can help you to tune out distractions so you can hear your bodies messages. In this way you can learn to respond to them, so that a state of balance is achieved. If you identify an imbalance, such as emotional anguish or a physical illness, then meditation can help you release the cause of of your frustrations so that equilibrium is returned.

Mindfulness Timer

Monday, 24 September 2012 16:31

The Mindfulness Timer

This is the newest addition to our line of pyramid-shaped gonging timers. The Mindfulness Timer is perfect for Mindfulness meditation and Mindfulness practice. The timer can be set to gong at the beginning and end of a duration of time and it can also be set to ring a single gong at a repeating interval.

For example, if you want to do a 20-minute session of mindfulness, you might set the timer for 20 minutes with a 2-minute repeating gong in between. At first you will hear 3 gongs to signal the beginning of the session. Then you will hear a single gong every 2 minutes. At 20 minutes you will hear what sounds like several slight taps of the gong followed by 3 steady rings of the gong.

You can see how this timer will help you with a mindfulness practice. Very soon after you begin your practice the mind will begin to swirl around in useless thoughts about everyday concerns. The 2-minute mindfulness gong will help you regain your awareness of the present moment. Of course, we all know that the Monkey Mind will soon go back to its wild ways. Again, in another 2 minutes the gong will ring and bring you back to the present moment.

Doing a daily practice of mindfulness is difficult at first. But, after several sessions, you will find that you can more easily maintain your awareness of the present moment and stop the mind from wandering where it will. The Mindfulness Timer will be a great tool to help you achieve this awareness and, better yet, to maintain it in your daily living.

At Sage Meditation we are continually researching and finding terrific products to help you lead a better life. We are grateful to have discovered The Mindfulness Timer and to be able to offer it with all our gong timers and zen clocks.
