Tibetan
Singing Bowls - The
singing bowls are also known as magical tools
that can transform the life of an individual.
Depending upon the size of the bowl a mallet
made with wood or leather can be rubbed on the
rim of the bowl creating magical sounds. They
are known as magical sounds because they help in
de-stressing the mind and stimulating mental
activity. Chiropractors, Reiki practitioners,
sound therapists and medical practitioners use
singing bowls to bring peace and tranquility to
their patients.
Carved
Crystal Spheres - Our crystal balls are made
by pulverizing pure natural quartz crystal then
melting the powder down to form a solid crystal
block. Master craftsmen then hand carve each
ball. There is no lead used in the process, and
they are not glass. These balls are very clear
with virtually no distortion or bubbles, due to
the high quartz content. Each ball is
individually boxed and comes with a carved
rosewood stand.

Incense
is a perfect reflection of one of our keener
senses - the sense of smell.Imagine primitive man spellbound by the
intoxicating aroma of a fresh spring field or a
lush forest, and you will understand the origins
of incense!It is no wonder that people sought a way
to incorporate these aromas in a tangible form
for use in their medical practice and spiritual
traditions.
One
interesting fact to note is that many of the
ingredients used in incense don't have any smell
unless they are burned.Somehow, people figured out how to
capture these natural essences in a form they
could transport and use at will.Experts believe that the burning of
fragrant woods such as cedar, pine and cypress,
and aromatic resins, roots, berries and other
natural materials gave us our first incense.
Historians
believe that metal working artisans perfected
the techniques for making Tibetan Singing Bowls
nearly 2,500 years ago!Although there is not a lot of written
history to trace the origin of these wonderful
objects of art, fortunately, there is a rich
tradition of oral history that tells us that the
bowls came to Tibet from India at the same time
that Buddhism was introduced to Tibet by the
great Buddhist master, Padmasambhava.Therefore, the history of Tibetan Singing
Bowls goes back to the 8th century
A.D.
One
of the most fascinating things about Tibetan
Singing Bowls is that the quality of sound of
the ancient bowls cannot be reproduced today.In fact, this is a lost art.Analysis of old bowls reveals that they
were made from a twelve metal alloy consisting
of silver, nickel, copper, zinc, antimony, tin,
lead, cobalt, bismuth, arsenic, cadmium, and
iron.Legend
has it that some of the ancient bowls included
metals taken from meteorites!
Taoism
is considered as an entity that defies
definition, which can be properly understood
only by experience. The most approximate meaning
with respect to English language is �the
way� or �the path�.Taoism corresponds to a power, which
envelops, surrounds and flows through all
things, living and non-living. In simple words,
it can be considered as a way of spiritual
living.
The
Shinto religion is unusual when compared to
other ancient spiritual traditions in several
key aspects.For one thing, the Shinto religion is not
based on any body of religious law.Most religions can trace their concepts
back to one or more ancient texts that define
what laws are to be followed, at the very least.Some religions, for example Buddhism have
centuries of writings that are rich in
philosophy and interpretation of the original
teachings of the founder.
Some
experts have described the Shinto religion as
"an amorphous mix of nature worship,
fertility cults, divination techniques, hero
worship, and shamanism."The closest thing that Shintoists have to
a code is the Chinese doctrine of Confucianism.The Shinto religion also does not have a
strong tradition of training leaders to
administer the religion.There is a Shinto priesthood, but the
organization does not involve the complex system
of training and hierarchy that you would find in
Buddhism, for example.
The
legend of Confucius tells us that his ancestors
were once weathly folk who lived in the state of
Song.The
family, fleeing political turmoil moved to Lu
and became impoverished.Early accounts of Confucius relate his
poverty stricken childhood and how being poor
drove him to first seek work at menial jobs,
doing accounting for rich farmers and taking
care of animals.Somehow Confucius was able to educate
himself and mastered music, among other
disciplines.By the time he was middle-aged, he had
begun to teach his philosopy to others.
