These mini zen meditation bowls are always a remind to me that there's a lot to see in miniature if I'm observant. These zen meditation bowls are each a little less than two inches in diameter. I like to use the dark brown mottled glaze symbolizing the earth and the blue or cream to symbolize water.
The cool blue water is something for the eye to gaze upon.
With their diminutive size the meditation bowls can be carried in your pocket or purse and taken wherever you go. If you're feeling stressful, take out your meditation bowl and gaze upon it and let your mind relax and wander.
When I had
my lavender farm in California I used my
lavender sachets in much the same way for relaxation. If I was feeling stressed I could squeeze a lavender sachet. The lavender essential oil would release into the air and help to relax me. I am reminded using the senses to their fullest makes life much more pleasant.
I just remembered visiting the
Arkansas School for the Blind when I lived nearby. In front of the school is a
sunken herb garden full of fragrant herbs. I remember walking along the path and at times closing my eyes, listening to the sounds, smelling the fragrant herbs, and rubbing their textures between my fingers. If you have a chance to visit an herb garden please do, or why not grow a few herbs. They bring such joy to me and I'm sure they will to you as well. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
