The clock is set in a slender, solid walnut box, and when the box's hinged lid is closed, it looks like a simple calligraphy brush box or other diminutive decorative item. But open the lid to find a sophisticated digital clock/timer that can be set as an alarm clock, countdown timer, interval timer, or hour chime. When the Zen Clock's alarm is triggered, the acoustic chime bar is struck just once ... 3-1/2 minutes later it strikes again ... chime strikes become more frequent over 10 minutes ... eventually striking every 5 seconds until shut off (the progression sequence is illustrated below left). As they become more frequent, the gentle chimes will always wake you up-your body really doesn't need to be awakened harshly; with a Zen Clock you're awakened more gradually and thus more naturally.In addition to use its use a peaceful alarm clock, The Digital Zen Clock also serves as a timer for yoga, meditation, bodywork, or any practice.

Customer Review: Zen Mornings
Summary: 5 Stars
I get up too late and drink too much coffee. My new year's resolution is to change both.
To that end, I included a digital alarm clock from the Now & Zen Company and a four cup Mr. Coffee on my Christmas wish list. Santa came through. Now that my digital Zen alarm resides beside my bed and my 12 cup Cuisnart automatic grind and brew has been banished from the kitchen counter, I have no excuse for morning sloth and caffeine addiction.
While I'm blessed with a job that matches my circadian rhythm ( I teach in the evenings and online), I'm programmed with a body that requires nine hours of sleep. And since I have a touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder, the gloom of a Charleston winter keeps me in bed far too long. Add to this mix the fact that I sleep like the proverbial log. Moreover, every evening I indulge in late night reading, often squeezing in another chapter until the red letters on my alarm clock register 1:00 or 1:30 am. While this habit trumps watching Leno, Letterman or late night infomercials, it contributes to my morning lethargy and excessive coffee consumption.
I envy my friend, Ted, who rises each day at 5:30 am, resonating like a cheerful chime. His body requires only six hours of sleep which is two hours less than the recommended eight. (The average American clocks seven.)
While unlike some, I can't survive on only six hours of sleep, I have resolved to program my body for eight. That involves going to bed at eleven, limiting my reading to one hour tops, and getting up when the alarm buzzes at 8 am. Now here's where my new Zen clock comes in. According to the company's brochure, the "gradually-increasing chime progression sequence begins your day with grace and dignity." My timepiece can be programmed to countdown to zero and chime, or to strike its chime repeatedly at a set interval. No snooze button here. In both modes, the Tibetan bell-like chime gradually increases through a preprogrammed ten minute progression. I've chosen the ten minute option and set the volume low. The alarm begins with a first strike, a second one 3.48 minutes later, and so on, until the terminal cycle of a chime sounds every five seconds. So far, this progression works for me. Moreover, the gradual ping, ping, ping does not disturb my West Highland Terrier, Woody, who sleeps at the foot of my bed, and slumbers approximately twenty hours per day.
In addition to these benefits, the Now & Zen Instruction Book claims that my clock might help me remember my dreams by not abruptly interrupting them. And because I can lie in bed for a full ten minutes, I may be able to recall them, which is a mixed blessing, depending on their content. For example, last night I found myself in my vet's home, which I never have visited, dusting his china cabinet with Pledge while his wife played touch football with their three kids in the back yard. I defy anyone to squeeze a drop of significance from that one.
The Instruction Book further touts the benefits of affirmations. In between the sleeping state and waking state is the Alpha State, a place of deep relaxation. In this preconscious condition, one's mind can be positively influenced with "affirmations." These should be "personal, positive, and in the present tense." While I've yet to experiment with this clock's feature, I plan to do so shortly. So for 2010, I (personal) will shed ten pounds (positive), walk Woody more often, and place my slimmer butt in a chair in front of my computer at 9 am, ever mindful to drink no more than two mugs of coffee each day.
