Via the Mashable Twitter Feed comes news of a new life-tool: Inner Twitter. The service sends you a ‘chime’, a meditative phrase for you to ponder upon. It’s up to you whether sign up to receive a ‘chime’ every 15 minutes, every hour or every day… (I suggest starting with the daily chime). When you receive the chime, the idea is that you:

Listen. Pay attention to your breathing. Pay attention to what is before you. Really look at what is in front of you. Forget yourself and become whatever resonates, like stillness, peace or beauty

Clearly, this could be lethal if operating a fighter jet, doing a heart transplant, free-diving or just crossing the road - but you can see what they’re getting at. Luckily, there’s a choice of ‘chimes’, including a user contributed option. Here’s one:

My psychic membranes are collapsing around reality and dissolving into me.

Hmm. Little bit introspective but more useful than many of my Twitterings.

You’ll need a Twiiter or Jaiku account first. Get chiming and discover your inner Twitter.
