Being around natural things and in nature is a form of meditation in itself. Natural light, fresh air, and beautiful landscapes are known to reduce stress.

Not everyone has a beautiful nature around them. Overpopulation and light pollution limits exposure to such beauty. This night lamp helps bring some of that into one’s home. This moon lamp looks exactly like the moon, from its texture to the light. 

8. Meditation Beads

Part of meditation is doing the same thing repeatedly. Performing the task ends up taking less mental space, leaving room for the mind to focus on other things. They say that Einstein himself had his best ideas when he was doing repetitive tasks like washing dishes.

Meditation beads serve the same purpose. The person keeps reciting the same phrase and moving beads. The task becomes so repetitive, their mind is allowed to wander and gain self-actualization.

9. Tibetan Singing Bowl – $$$

There are just some symbols in this world that are naturally associated with meditation. The lotus flower is one such symbol. Looking at one makes you think of Zen gardens and peace and quiet.

Out of all the incense smell options, juniper has to be my favorite. People think that since it’s a flower, it must have a very floral and sweet smell. That isn’t the case at all.

Juniper has a very foliage-like smell. It is woody with hints of cedar. Some people even say it smells a little like gin. Who wouldn’t be relaxed in a room that smells like gin?
