Why a 15 minute relaxation timer works
- Head to toe, slowly
- Nothing to achieve
- Gentle alarm, no jolt
Working from the feet upward, releasing each area in turn, takes ten to twenty minutes unhurried. Knowing something else is watching the clock is most of the relaxation.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|

| 2-13 | Release each area from feet to head |

Questions people ask
What is the best way to use a 15 minute relaxation timer?
Lie down, work from the feet to the head releasing each area, and let the timer hold the boundary. Knowing something will tell you when to stop is most of the relaxation.
Is 15 minutes better than 10?
Once ten feels comfortable, fifteen is the usual next step. Long enough to settle, short enough to repeat daily without negotiating.
Will the 15 minute relaxation timer make a sound while it runs?
No. It stays silent throughout and ends with whichever sound you choose, including a soft bell or complete silence. Nothing ticks and nothing flashes.
Does the 15 minute relaxation timer work offline?
