A bell is a traditional object used to call us to attention. In Buddhist practice, the sound of a bell signals the beginning and end of a period of meditation. We use a bell in our home to remind us to get up from our desks and move around, to shift our attention from the head to the body. Create a similar daily ceremony using a bell.
