Combi Timer
An invaluable aid to your meditation practice
In all CREATIME products, the chime of the gong accompanies your practice. However, as indicated by its name, the Combi Timer combines several functions: both those of the Meditation Timer and the Reiki Timer.
It is set in two steps:
- First, select the total duration of the session, among eight possible choices: 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, or 90 minutes. Validate this choice by pressing the ON/OFF button. The light turns green.
- Then select the length of the interval between two chimes, among eight choices: 0 (no chime throughout the meditation period, as with the Meditation Timer), or every 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes. Validate this choice by pressing the ON/OFF button again. This time, the light turns red.
Then:
- Three chimes of the gong signal the beginning of the session.
- One gong chime is heard at the selected frequency (or none if the "0" interval has been selected).
- Three chimes signal the end of the session. These will be preceded by several softer ones. A few seconds later the light will automatically switch off.
The Combi Timer is very useful for meditators who wish to "work" at their meditation. It is used to alternate between periods of concentration on various objects of meditation or visualizations, or to move from a period of focused attention to one of contemplation.
And when meditation becomes a "way of being", the Combi Timer remains a welcome reminder of mindfulness at any time of day.
Additional information
The wooden part of the Combi Timer pyramid is entirely handmade of solid wood. It is built to the exact proportions of the Kheops pyramid, which Feng Shui specialists consider a source of powerful energy and stability. It measures 5.3 inches (13.5 cm) along its base.
Choice of wood/finish for the Combi Timer:
- Polished sycamore :
The sycamore belongs to the maple family. It is a valued hardwood, homogeneous and of clear, ivory color. - Polished cherry :
This wood comes from the wild cherry tree. It is a strong wood, ranging in color from rosy beige to honey. - Varnished sycamore :
The sycamore belongs to the maple family. The mahogany varnish gives it amber tones.
The sound of the Combi Timer is that of a Tibetan "singing bowl", which has been digitally recorded for the purest quality. The volume is adjustable (2 settings).

Who will benefit from the use of the Combi Timer?
For meditation practice
When the mind is agitated, an attention reminder at regular intervals keeps distracting thoughts from taking over.
The interval between the gong chimes can be set according to your state of mind, e.g., more often when the mind is particularly agitated. It is good to occasionally change this interval in order to avoid new habit patterns and remain fully alert in a state of mindfulness.
In daily life
Many meditation teachers recommend the chiming of a gong as an ideal tool for recollection of mindfulness, not only during sitting meditation when thoughts wander away, but also throughout the day.
