Meditation Shawls
Meditation or prayer shawls have been used for thousands of years in Tibet and other Buddhist countries. As it was common for Buddhist monks and nuns to pray and meditate in cold, remote caves for long periods, it became necessary to stay warm. The meditation shawl, called sen in Tibet, became an integral part of their attire. How one traditionally wears a meditation shawl is based on the practice of Buddha. He wore a piece of cloth sewn together from multiple discarded cloths that he draped around one shoulder. With the highest regard for Buddha, monks and nuns wear theirs in the same manner. They wear a sleeveless top and keep their right shoulder exposed from the meditation scarf. Today, it is otherwise called a yoga shawl, wrap, or meditation blanket, and can be worn as the monks do or as what is comfortable to you. Beyond helping keep the body warm, its purpose is to hold the energy accumulated during a meditation session. The pashmina goats roam in the fresh air and graze on the high-altitude grasslands of Asia. Our finest 100% pure pashmina wool is sourced from goat herders living in the Mongolian steppes. Our meditation shawls come in five natural, wool colours and are weaved from 100% pashmina wool by skilled Nepali artisans. Today, they are as synonymous with coziness as they are with fashion. Their versatile use allows them to be placed across your shins or draped over your shoulders for added warmth during your meditation experience.
