Meditation supplies include pillows, candles, CDs, incense, statues, singing bowls, gongs, mala beads, energy chimes, meditation benches, mats, cushions, bolsters, meditation timers, and yoga props. They are designed to create a peaceful and relaxed mood conducive to meditation and yoga practice.
There are many different meditation materials available. Some of the most popular are pillows, candles, CDs and incense. Statues, singing bowls, and gongs are commonly featured on altars set up in areas designed for meditation.
Some types of meditation require specific supplies. For example, people who practice Tibetan Buddhist meditation techniques often use mala beads to count their prayers or mantras. They may spin prayer wheels while meditating or strike a gong as part of the meditation ritual. A singing bowl is another of the many Tibetan Buddhist meditation accessories. When a striker is drawn around the rim of the bowl, it produces a soothing tone that can help the practitioner focus.
Many meditation supplies are designed to impart a peaceful and relaxed mood conducive to meditation. Energy chimes, statues, decorative tablecloths and wall plaques of gods and goddesses can promote a harmonious environment. Other meditation supplies are created with comfort in mind, such as meditation benches, mats, cushions, bolsters, and pillows.
Mats and cushions are available in different sizes, materials, colors and thicknesses. Intended to create a comfortable seat during meditation, the specially designed cushions can help the practitioner keep the spine aligned and achieve a comfortable height during meditation. Meditation benches are useful for people who cannot sit comfortably on the floor and are also designed to help people maintain proper spinal alignment and comfort necessary for a successful meditation session.
It’s impossible to maintain a meditative state while looking at the clock, so meditation timers were designed to signal the practitioner when the correct time has elapsed. Meditation timers emit soothing sounds to gently bring a meditating individual out of the relaxed state. Zen alarm clocks and meditation timers commonly use the peaceful sounds of bells, bells or gongs.
Candles and incense can help create a meditative mood. Some forms of meditation require the practitioner to focus on a specific object, such as a candle flame, to reach the meditative state. The scent can also help create conditions conducive to achieving a relaxed, altered state. Incense can be found in sticks, cones and powders. Charcoal and incense burners designed for burning powdered incense are popular meditation supplies.
Meditation supplies include props for the practitioner who combines yoga with meditation. Blocks can help an individual achieve or maintain correct pose and posture. These blocks can be found in different sizes and are made of wood, cork and foam. There are also bolsters that come in different lengths and diameters. The bolsters are designed to support different parts of the body during yoga and meditation.
