Mindfulness Bell - Wake Up




All night long, in my dreams I heard this mindfulness bell. It was very interesting. Here is this video with Thich Nhat Hanh.

I am not sure about the coughing in the back, almost sounds like a vulture. Comments on this site stated that the coughing was distracting, it was painful to hear. It sounded like Bronchitis. I hate Bronchitis, it feels like your lungs have been smashed with a bat, and your bones aches, ugh!. In the distance you can hear other people coughing. I was wondering why there were so many ill people in the background. Maybe the cold, the conditions of living a monastic life, I am not sure.

Well, the sound of this mindfulness bell was in my dreams, I do have a mindful bell alarm on my Blackberry, but I had turned it off the night before so that it would not wake me. Is the bell in my dreams reminding me about mindfulness, about being mindful or is it an alarm, to "Wake Up"?

Well that' s almost the same.

Here you can download a mindfulness bell into your computer and set it for meditation, writing or other activities where you want to be mindful. I have it at work to remind me to take a breath, to walk, to be grateful for the blessings and the lessons even when they are difficult to take.
