The dignified mood of the purple tone
Deep purple is the meeting of warm red and cool blue – a shade that is at once soothing and uplifted. In the yoga tradition, it is the colour of the Sahasrara point at the crown of the head, which supports complete silence and deepened attention. If you like collected, dignified-mood meditation, this variant suits you.
The structure of the three-piece ensemble
The mat, the meditation cushion and the carry bag arrive in a coordinated purple colour palette. The yoga mat provides a pleasant thickness of support under your knees and elbows. The meditation cushion lifts the sitting bones, which makes it easier for your spine to maintain its natural posture during longer quiet sittings.
Step-by-step home use
Choose a quiet, well-ventilated corner at home. Roll out the mat, place the cushion in the middle. Sit on the front edge of the cushion and start with a few calm breaths. The purple shade helps your gaze to rest if your eyes occasionally open – so you stay with your breath more easily.
Deeper, longer practices
If you are already practised, this tone supports longer 20-30 minute quiet sittings as well. The background does not draw attention away, yet it gives a little dignity to the moment of practice. You will probably notice that the silence is of a deeper quality than in front of a neutral background.
Care and storage
You can wipe the mat with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Air the cushion cover regularly. Using the carry bag's drawstring, you can store the set vertically, leaning against a wall.
