This green meditation shawl is a soft, warm companion that helps you settle into the quiet hours of inner work. At 200 × 80 cm it drapes comfortably over your shoulders, falls into your lap, and wraps around you while you sit on a cushion. The calm green tone recalls the steadiness of nature and brings a gentle sense of renewal into your meditation corner.
The calming power of green in daily meditation
Green is the colour of plants, fresh leaves and spring meadows. When you wrap yourself in this shawl, your eyes rest on a tone close to nature, and your breathing slows almost by itself. This soft effect is especially helpful for home practice, where wall colours, objects and lighting are often more vivid than inward attention needs. The shawl forms a protective layer around you.
Material and feel: a soft blend of 70% acrylic and 30% cotton
Seventy percent of the fabric is acrylic and thirty percent is cotton. This combination is designed for long sittings: the cotton gives a pleasant, breathable feel on your skin, while the acrylic keeps the shape, the colour and the durability. The fabric is not scratchy or itchy, and it also blocks the cool draught rising from the floor. Its 290 gram weight is enough for you to feel its presence, yet light enough to never burden your shoulders.
How to use the shawl in your everyday practice
For morning or evening sitting, place it over your shoulders and let both ends hang freely in front. In a cool room you can wrap it around your knees as well, so your feet stay warm. When sitting on the floor or a cushion, you may slide the shawl under your sit bones and form a small blanket from the remaining fabric. It is also a fine companion for longer silent retreats, breathing exercises, mantra practice — or simply a quiet evening with a book.
Country of origin: Nepal — straight weave, local craftsmanship
The shawl is made in Nepal, where the making of meditation textiles has a long tradition. Local weavers work it, the touch of the hand stays in the fabric, and small irregularities in the weave are the living marks of handwork.
Care and storage
Wash the shawl by hand in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent. Spinning is not recommended, and you should not wring it either, as the fibres can stretch. After washing, dry it flat in a shaded, airy place. For storage, the included paper bag works well; folded in a wardrobe, the shape holds for a long time.
