The role of the aqua-blue meditation shawl
This meditation shawl or blanket gives you pleasant calm and the feeling of turning inward during your practice. The blanket symbolically separates you from the outer world while you meditate — so you can more easily direct your attention inward. It measures 200 × 80 cm and weighs 290 grams; the material is 70% acrylic and 30% cotton. The textile from the Nepali workshop arrives in a fine aqua-blue shade.
Insulation from the cold floor
The shawl provides perfect insulation against coolness or draught rising from the floor. If you meditate sitting on the floor, on a cushion or a rug, you can keep your body warm with the shawl over your shoulders or pulled over your knees — so during the practice the cold does not disturb you, and your attention can rest calmly on the breath.
Acrylic-cotton blend — comfortable material
The 70% acrylic part gives a soft, gentle touch and is not heavy, while the 30% cotton brings a naturally woven feel. This blend is warm enough for a cool room, yet not stifling — it creates a calm atmosphere for longer meditation sessions too. The Nepali production is made with fine hand work.
Use and storage
You can store the shawl folded in your meditation corner, on a shelf or in a basket. Air it before use and shake it out gently from time to time — this preserves its freshness. If you travel, the shawl folds compactly and fits easily into a backpack, so it can help your familiar practice ritual in the countryside or in a hotel too.
Cleaning and care
Hand-wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid spinning. Dry flat on a smooth surface, do not wring it strongly. Keep away from direct sunlight so the beautiful aqua-blue colour does not fade. Iron at low temperature without steam if necessary.
