Bell of mindfulness is a method for bringing us fully into the present moment. It can be done with a bell or any other suitable sound-producing object.

In the busy time of our daily life, we let our mind float away to many distractions. We forget about our body, our breath, and our mind; we forget about the unity of our mind and body. In order to remind us of this unification, the bell of mindfulness is meant for us to bring our mind back to our body. When we hear the sound of the bell, please stop what you are doing and take three breaths to bring our mind back to our body. Let this unification happen and be happy in the present moment.
