A Zen alarm clock sounds a Tibetan-style chime in decreasing time intervals to wake one slowly and peacefully over the course of a 10-minute period. This 10-minute period is known as the golden ratio progression. The Zen alarm clock is promoted as a tool for dream work, affirmations, yoga sessions, and meetings. Models of the clock are handsomely styled and are considered furniture for tabletops, dressers, mantles or desks. Most Zen alarm clocks are made from wood, including maple and walnut, and are battery operated to avoid the electromagnetic fields produced by electric devices. A traditional Zen alarm clock is pyramid-shaped, with a round analog face. The face often includes a Chinese or Tibetan motif, and a slender, alloy tube is positioned along the base. The Zen alarm clock can come in a “B” tone model, or an “E” tone model.
