What Is A Zen Garden?

12:08 AM  idea, information, zen garden  1 comment

 Hey I'm back again with another update.


The other evening, walking through a shopping center close to home, I went as usual, several stores that I like.

One of them is full of incense, very nice decorations for the house and a cozy, with dim lights, soft music .....






And there in the background in one of the crowded shelves had a sign saying "Zen Garden ".... and there I was looking at the box, instructions, and after thinking about it .... Two seconds! I went out to pay. I brought him home and I love ...






A Zen garden is the way of life, the universe and is designed to provide vitality, peace and serenity.
Rake the soil allowed to leave the mind free of tension, helps concentration and meditation calms the fears and anxieties.


Breathe deeply while raking and make beautiful drawings on the sand.Also becomes a different and original decorative ...


Now for its entirety and use the correct way, according to the instructions enclosed ...

First I tell you, consists of a bowl of golden proportions (which represents the harmony), fine sand, preferably light colored, smooth, rake ad hoc and three stones of different sizes but proportional to the size of the vessel at the ground.


Every part of this garden has a specific purpose to give us what it was intended to ...
The sand neutralizes the bad thoughts, attitudes and negative emotions, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity.
A space perfectly smoothing represents the vastness of the sea. The grooves may symbolize the different walks of life.

The stones represent the obstacles and stumbling blocks with which we face in life.
The stones symbolize the experiences we gain in life, after overcoming these setbacks and inconveniences ...

The rake is what our guiding hand to move around the stage of our lives, without realizing it, embodied in the drawings of the earth, our anxieties and our fears, depositing it in the form of drawings, more or less edgy grooves ...

It can be used instead of stones, quartz. They generate energy and can represent values ​​such as simplicity, humility or modesty.

Candles are also an option for our Zen garden, but they must be rounded to not break the harmony of space. Otherwise it is preferably located outside the garden ...

There is a curious legend that gave rise to the Zen gardens. It says so:

"Legend has it that when the outfielder finished his work, he called the emperor to contemplate his garden." Congratulations. It is the most beautiful garden I've seen and that rock is the most beautiful of all ", said the emperor.
Instantly, the gardener took the stone marked, removed her from the garden and threw into the sea. Then he explained to his master: "Now everything is perfect, and the garden can be seen in harmony. A garden, like life, must be viewed in its entirety. If we focus on the beauty of detail, the rest will seem too ugly ... "





I hope you liked the entry and clear any dark spot on what they call "Zen Garden".

Regards,
Linda.





For all the lazy ones out there.
