Hi, I was wondering how people would time a 1 hour meditation session without setting an alarm on their phone.

I don't really want to keep my phone with me during meditation, but I do want to have a way to notice it's time to stop.

People somehow managed this in the past before phones existed right? So what would be a good way to do this?

Give it a try with no timer. After doing it for years I didn’t have access to a timer and just went for it and I was really surprised how accurately I was able to know when to open my eyes. You know that feeling of anticipation shortly before the bell? Make that your clock!
