Our Tibetan Buddhist hand-held prayer wheel, sometimes referred to as a Mani wheel, is 12 inches long and is constructed of copper, brass and wood. The Buddhist mantra Om Mane Padme Om is written around the outside of prayer wheel. The handle serves as axis around which the cylinder can revolve, being set in motion by a small weight which is attached to it by a chain. The cylinder contains a paper roll on which Buddhist texts are printed. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the lineage texts regarding prayer wheels, spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers. Use your prayer wheel to accumulate wisdom and merit (good karma) and to purify negativities (bad karma). Made in India. Learn More

A beautiful piece for meditation and inspiration. The nautilus, from the Greek for sailor, is a nocturnal creature, spending most of its life at ocean depth. Its shell, lined with mother-of-pearl, grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and so has become a symbol for expansion and renewal. Sometimes called a living fossil for its long existence on the planet, the beautiful and proportionally perfect nautilus shell exemplifies a special kind of spiral curve which appears in nature called a logarithmic spiral, or miraculous spiral. One of this spiral’s unique mathematical properties is that the size of the spiral increases, but its shape is unaltered with each successive curve. Learn More
