Free Online Meditation Timer for Smartphone Users From JetCityOrange

Online, July 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - SEATTLE - JetCityOrange.com now offers a free meditation web app [ http://m.JetCityOrange.com/meditation/timer/ ]. Anyone who meditates or practices yoga needs a timer. Those with smartphones like Android or iPhones can use their mobile phone as a meditation timer.

By creating a mobile web page, there's no need to install a phone application. Anyone using a phone, tablet, or computer can use this as a resource. In addition to meditation, it can be used to time yoga and other exercise programs.

More and more people are discovering the positive benefits of meditation as a stress reliever. Meditating is simple to learn, easy to do, and costs nothing. It's an effective relaxation technique that can lower blood pressure, promote regular sleep patterns, and lead to an increased sense of well being.

Jerry Whiting, JetCityOrange's publisher, has written several meditation timers of various lengths and styles. He's made these available for free in an effort to help fellow meditators. "I hope that new meditators and veteran practitioners alike will enjoy this simple tool. Everyone keeps their phone with them all the time so why not use it to meditate? Why buy a dedicated meditation timer if your existing cell phone can do the same thing for free?"

Ideally one should meditate on a regular basis (even if it's not every day). One of the challenges is knowing how long to sit. With your eyes closed in a calm, relaxed place it's sometimes hard to remember when to quit. While an egg timer or one's watch seems like a good idea, a dedicated meditation timer can be set for 10, 15, or 20 minutes and sound a pleasant bell at the end of the interval.

JetCityOrange's mobile website [ http://m.JetCityOrange.com/ ] features a number of tools and resources for meditators include guided meditation MP3 files, a how-to and an FAQ, as well as binaural beat files. Binaural beats, when listened to with stereo headphones or earbuds, increase specific brainwave frequencies. JetCityOrange has information about Buddhism and natural sound files like waves, waterfalls, rain storms, etc.
