Touch the Earth, a Native American expression, represents the concept that through physically touching the soil one can touch the soul of our planet and be at peace within the universe. All our lives and products are dedicated to this idea.
Although 'walking meditation' refers to a particular Yoga exercise, 'walking with bamboo' meditation is dedicated to the interconnection between mindfulness and action; the importance of remembering that this most precious life is simply happening.
Each scarf is handcrafted in spun bamboo fabric with a cotton 'kimono' print trim and an appliqued silk 'prayer for the earth', to honor the concept of John Muir's that "we are all hitched together".
Hand wash - iron the scarf with a tea towel over the silk hand printed appliqué - Do NOT dry clean. Prints and color may vary slightly.
Each original design was created to bless your personal, quiet, meditative space.
I was inspired to create this original design by the ancient concepts of the lotus, considered a sacred lily, which remains a part of the art of the Egyptian and Buddhist philosophy.
Traditionally the lotus represents the sacred center of the universe, the core of our souls; by contacting this pure center within ourselves, and discovering our most joyous dreams and acting on them, we create the environment to manifest our dreams.
The Lotus is also called a 'mudflower'; with roots in the pond soil, yet in beauty the plant floats and blossoms on the surface. One of the 'prayers for the earth', with the message 'Follow Your Dream', is in Japanese and the other is in English. The appliqué is hand printed on silk. The label on the scarf is also in silk.
