Product Description
The Enso Clock began with a ground-up conceptualization and design for a new timer and clock to be used for meditation and yoga. Salubrion focused on creating an innovative method for conveying time to the user, resulting in the use of the Japanese Enso.
Enso
Enso, which means circle in Japanese, symbolizes enlightenment, elegance, and the universe. Traditionally, the enso is painted with a single clockwise brushstroke, beginning and ending at the bottom. The central display feature of Salubrions new clock is the Enso that surrounds the screen and is gradually brushed on-screen as the timer progresses. This way, the user can glance at the Enso and see the relative amount of time that has elapsed, eliminating the distraction of focusing on the exact numerical time that remains.
Interval Timing
The Salubrion Enso Clock allows for Interval Timing in which the user can set sequential timers that run one-after-the-other to compose an overall session. At the end of each interval or timer, one of several available soothing chimes is played. The Enso Clocks chimes are recorded from Tibetan and Japanese singing bowls as used in traditional meditation sessions. Using the latest audio technology, the Enso Clocks reproduction of the singing bowl chimes is very high quality and virtually indistinguishable from original.
Alarm
In addition to countdown timing, Salubrions clock can be used as an alarm clock, featuring the same soothing chimes.
The beautiful satin champagne finish along the sides of the clock is complemented by a black rubber coating on the backside of the clock. The clock can be placed flat on the floor in front of you for use during seated meditation, or propped up using the elegant hinged stand that folds out of the back of the clock. Each Enso Clock also includes a convenient carrying case with an integrated cleaning cloth that both protects and polishes. |

Almost Perfect by Richard Mertes (San Francisco, CA United States)  4 Stars
November 11, 2009
This little device is just what I was hoping it would be. Great for a gentle morning wake-up, a gentle end to sitting practice, and a wonderful timer for Yin Yoga practice with, in my case, 10 three-minute holding intervals each followed by a 1-minute resting interval. This is just what I wanted and it fits the bill. I did not find it hard to set up at all, and I confess that I have trouble with programming my digital watch--so there you go. There are only two things I would recommend altering in the design. The first would be the font of the numbers themselves...they are quite thin and small and can not be read from very far away. I would make them bolder for easier reading from a distance. Maybe not a stopwatch font, but something a little more fluid (though I don't know what the mechanical limitations are on this). Also, the little plastic stand that comes out of the back and keeps it upright--I would make that a wee bit wider because it is easily knocked over by the hand reaching in the dark to turn it off in the morning. Those things would make it perfect for me, but I really like it as is. And yes, I realize this is seriously defeating the purpose of an Enso clock, but I kind of wish it was square or rectangular so it wouldn't be so tippy. Maybe an optional model sans the circular display that was flat on the bottom...
The bottom line is that--problems aside--I really like it and would replace it immediately and without hesitation if I lost it.

This is with respect to my Yoga Practice by Eva Schwanner-housman  3 Stars
October 07, 2009
Hello, I use this timer very day and I enjoy for everything from one minute upwards. What bothers me is that you cannot time 30 seconds with it, because that is what I need for the famous Iyenga Yoga postures also, I hold some postures for 30 seconds some for a minute and some for 5 minutes. For the 30 second ones unfortunately I need another timer.....

Wonderful little timer by Avona Trigg  5 Stars
September 03, 2009
I would like to add a few things to the other great reviews.
My timer came with tactile back-lighting, stop and snooze buttons, a noticeable upgrade from what the other reviews describe. Thus you can now turn the alarm off without sight.
The manual is quite simple, such that I do not understand the other reviewers' previous problems with this product. Press alarm, then + or - and then the green start (or red stop to cancel out). It's the same operation regardless of the option: volume, clock, timer, etc. The > buttons are used to program intervals and alarm sounds. Simple and intuitive. As was indicated by other reviewers, you may not set fractions of minutes, so if you require that, beware.
It comes with a case and the manual fits with the timer inside the case. It's all very elegant and aesthetically pleasing. The included sounds are two chimes, one small wood drum (which plays a roll down plus 5 more beats) and a digital alarm sound. I, too, thought it a bit weird that the "hide display" option doesn't actually hide everything... It only hides the time, though the rest of the indicators stay lit: enso, enso circle, play indicator, graphic time remaining and alarm indicator.
The only disadvantages that I've noticed, I consider very minor. The face is made of flexible plastic. I would have liked it to feel solid. Also, the buttons feel loose, though I've had no problems with operating the timer and they don't feel so loose that they would be problematic later.
I did some research and this appears to be the best meditation timer to be found atm. I'm frugal when it comes to money, so for me to buy a $99 timer is a big deal, my previous timer being a $5 timer from goodwill that works wonderfully. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like the timer and how... effective it is for its purpose, whatever that may be.

Exactly what I needed for my AYP sessions by Roger Sluder (Roanoke, VA United States) 5 Stars
August 21, 2009
I just received this timer yesterday, and it does everything that I had hoped it would to assist me in my Advanced Yoga Practices (check out Advanced Yoga Practices: Easy Lessons for Ecstatic Living or visit [...]) pranayama and meditation sessions. There must have been some enhancements made to this product since some of the reviews here were written. Specifically, the Enso symbol on the button is now raised, making it easy to find the backlight in the dark. The backlight automatically comes on a few seconds before each interval chime, which someone had listed as a like-to-have. I was truely amazed how realistic the singing bowl tone (tone 1) sounds. It is definitely my favorite. In addition to perfectly timing each phase of my session, it gives me the feeling of meditating in a secluded monastery high in the Himalayas! My only regret it that I didn't find out about this product sooner.

Salubrion Enso Timer by Catherine E. Johnson 5 Stars
July 25, 2009
I just received the Enso Timer. It is exactly as described. The included instructions were easy to follow (Salubrion also has instructions available on its website; these are very detailed, clear and easy to follow).
I tested all chimes. They are crisp and clear. I was able to set intervals for my meditation sessions and also for my 10 minute exercise sets.
A zippered pouch is also included (this pouch carries the clock and the instruction manual).
I think the overall design is quite efficient considering what this timer was designed for. It is a little pricey, but comparable to the price for other timers in this class.

| Smile at Fear: Awakening the True Heart of Bravery
by Chogyam Trungpa (Author), Carolyn Gimian (Editor)
Many of us, without even realizing it, are dominated by fear. We might be aware of some of our fears—perhaps we are afraid of public speaking, of financial hardship, or of losing a loved one. But in this book meditation master Chögyam Trungpa shows us that most of us suffer from a far more pervasive fearfulness: fear of ourselves. We feel ashamed and embarrassed to look at our feelings or acknowledge our styles of thinking and acting; we don’t want to face the reality of our...
