A Corner to Sit In: Meditation Gift Set
A meditation gift set: a small brass singing bowl with cushion and stick, hand-rolled sandalwood incense, a mango-wood holder and a rudraksha mala
Five minutes on the floor before the house wakes, begun and ended with one note from a small brass bowl. A thread of sandalwood smoke shows how still the air is, and the mala's 108 beads are there to count breaths, if counting helps.

About this product
A small ritual
- Sit somewhere you can come back to each morning. Light one stick of incense, blow out the flame so the tip glows, and stand it in the wooden holder on a heatproof surface.
- Strike the rim of the bowl once with the wooden stick and listen until the note has gone completely; then sit.
- If your mind wants something to do, move one bead with each breath, and when you reach the tassel, turn back rather than crossing it. End with one more note from the bowl, and put the incense out before you leave the room.
What's inside
- A mini brass singing bowl made in Nepal, about 8 cm across, black outside with gold-toned script and eyes drawn in gold inside, on a black cushion, with a wooden stick and a zipped brocade pouch.
- A 15 g pack of hand-rolled sandalwood incense sticks from Indus Treasures, made in India.
- A plain mango-wood incense holder, 12 cm across, for sticks or cones, made in India.
- A japa mala of 108 brown rudraksha beads with a red tassel, about 65 cm long.
The pieces arrive together in one parcel. They are not gift-wrapped.
The eyes inside the bowl are the eyes painted on the great stupas of Kathmandu, Swayambhunath and Boudhanath. The curl beneath them, which most people read as a nose, is the Nepali numeral one.
