Short sessions of natural awareness
Dzogchen practice is often described as 'short sessions, many times.' Rather than striving for long meditation periods, the emphasis is on frequent glimpses of natural awareness throughout the day.

Micro-practices during work or movement
Dzogchen practice does not require withdrawing from daily life. Micro-practices—short, simple recognitions of awareness—can be woven into ordinary activities, especially during work or movement.
Using reminders and bells
Because distraction is strong and habits are deep, Dzogchen practitioners often use reminders—both natural and intentional—to recall awareness throughout the day. Bells and other cues serve as supports for continuity of rigpa.
