The TM timer has pre-set durations for the different parts of your meditation practice according to what we recommend. You can adjust these durations by going to the Transcend section and then tapping the number of minutes under TM.
You can also adjust this in Settings, by tapping the gear icon on the Transcend or Profile screen, then choose Duration and sound under Meditation settings.
To adjust the duration, tap on a segment and then drag the white circle on the slider left or right. For each part of the meditation, you will find the recommended timing selected as the default setting.
Adding Yoga Asanas and Pranayama
You can add Yoga Asanas and Pranayama to your timer. Yoga Asanas and Pranayama are only available once you have completed your TM course.
In the Duration and sound settings, tap the Yoga Asanas or Pranayama segment. Drag the white circle on the slider left or right to adjust the duration.
Adding extra segments
You can also add a new customizable segment, which is perfect for including additional time, for example, for your Advanced Techniques. This option is only available once you have completed your TM course.
In the Duration and sound settings, tap Add new segment. You can adjust the segment’s name, sounds, and duration as needed. You can add up to two new segments.
To move the segment, tap Edit in the top right corner, then drag it up or down. Then tap Done.
Saving different presets
In addition to the default timer settings, you can create your own presets to suit different program needs. For example, you might use one preset for meditating at home and another for group meditations.
In the Duration and sound settings, tap New preset. You will be prompted to type in the name of the new preset. Tap Done once you added the preset name.
Each custom preset offers the same customization options as the default timer, including the ability to adjust the name, duration, segments, sound, vibration, and volume.
After a new preset is added, in the Transcend section you will see a drop down arrow next to TM. Tap the arrow to switch between presets.
