Why I Created This App
I'm Petr Guskov. For most of my life, I believed that I was my thoughts, emotions, and memories. This belief kept me trapped in endless mental loops and emotional reactions.
Everything changed when I discovered the teachings of Carlos Castaneda, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Ramana Maharshi. Their wisdom revealed a profound truth: I am not my thoughts.
The Bell of Silence practice became my gateway to this realization. It's beautifully simple - you sit and attempt to stop your thoughts. This journey isn't easy, but the benefits I've experienced are undeniable:
- Real control over mental chatter
- Deep awareness that I exist beyond thoughts and emotions
- A genuine feeling of inner freedom
I created this app to share this transformative practice with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bell of Silence?
Bell of Silence is a meditation app that guides you through 30-minute sessions of silent sitting, punctuated by mindful bell sounds. It's based on the ancient practice of witnessing thoughts without identifying with them.
How does silent meditation work?
You sit comfortably and attempt to stop your thoughts. When thoughts arise (and they will), you simply observe them without judgment. The bell sounds gently remind you to return to silence. With practice, you discover the space between thoughts - your true self.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. The practice is simple enough for anyone to start, yet profound enough to engage experienced meditators. The app provides clear instructions and the structure needed to develop a consistent practice.
Why 30 minutes?
Thirty minutes allows enough time to move beyond surface-level mental activity and touch deeper states of awareness. It's long enough to be transformative, yet short enough to fit into daily life.
