This large 200 × 100 cm shawl is made with a stylish bohemian woven pattern in earthy tones. Those who take meditation seriously often report that using a shawl or blanket helps them concentrate better, as it both protects against environmental distractions and provides a pleasant feeling of warmth.
How Can You Use the Meditation Shawl?
The shawl can be used in several ways. Draped over the shoulders, it maintains an even temperature for the upper body, so you do not need to pay attention to the cold during meditation. If you sit on the floor, the shawl can also serve as an underlay, protecting you from rising cold. Used as a blanket on the legs, it comfortably maintains body temperature during longer meditation sittings.
Bohemian Woven Pattern
The pattern of the shawl follows the so-called nomad style: muted earthy tones – brown, terracotta, cream, pale green – alternate with fine geometric motifs. This style is reminiscent of the weavings of wandering Central Asian peoples, and thanks to its neutral character, it fits any meditation corner.
Protection from Environmental Distractions
During meditation, concentration can be disturbed by small bodily sensations: the draught from air conditioning, the cold of the floor, the feeling of vulnerability. The shawl envelops your body and creates an inner, protected space. Many people say that the shawl almost becomes a „ritual object” that signals to the mind: now we are turning inward.
Size and Material
The 200 × 100 cm size is generous: over the shoulders it covers the entire upper body, and as a blanket it amply covers both legs. Acrylic weave, which feels soft, does not scratch, dries quickly and retains heat. It weighs approximately 476 grams, which is comfortable – not oppressive, yet noticeably protective.
What to Consider Before Buying
The shawl is made of acrylic, which means it is not a natural fibre. Those who specifically want a wool or cotton feel should choose a different type. Cleaning is recommended in a washing machine at 30 degrees, on a gentle programme. Do not put it in a tumble dryer and avoid high-temperature ironing.
