Why silence? Because…

even ten minutes intentionally quiet can affect the rest of the day;
a contemplative practice prepares you for future challenges;
your plate of ‘to-dos’ can likely wait ten minutes.

Why 2:50 PM?

@2:50 is midday to notice the vitality a mindful or resting practice can bring to our lives. Is silence as essential as clean water, nourishing food, and trips to the bathroom? Evidence suggests that it is. (Benefits of daily mindfulness.)

How do I participate?

A short introduction is offered at 2:48 each day. You might,

observe your breathing and let it go in and out by itself or;
notice sensations in your body with your mind’s eye or;
visualize a relaxing scene or something you are grateful for.

What if I can’t join @2:50 pm?

You’re welcome to join @250 any time. Our global objective is to encourage ten minutes of quiet in whatever form or time works best for you. If you can’t make 2:50 pm, use our mindful resources at your pleasure.

People join @2:50 in many ways. Some walk or sit outside. Others use the time to sketch or journal. Some practice their own mindfulness or meditations, or get in a quick nap! It’s less about what we do and more about our repeating and doing it together.
