We all know that meditation can help relieve stress, anxiety, tension and being in a state of worry, but you probably have also discovered that meditation does not always come easy. Sometimes there is so much going on around and inside of us that even the simple task of sitting quietly can feel daunting. 

We may want to be able to quickly and gently sink into a place of relaxation and serenity, maybe even experience a higher understanding of the world around us. Sometimes, we need a little help to get to this desired place.

 

 

An interesting aspect of meditation is that special objects are often implemented such as metronomes, body stones or incense, and these objects are often believed to have a hypnotic effect on their passengers, helping them dive deeper into tranquility.

We believe that Mark White’s kinetic wind sculptures are so much more than just a pretty outdoor feature, they can be thought of as an ever steady and constant companion. They can be used as a unique way to perform open eye meditation, allowing you to connect with your surroundings and maintain focus on your breath or mantra. Open eye meditation can improve your concentration and focus, increase your clarity of thought, help you deal with stress and anxiety, and can be a powerful tool for transformation and personal growth.

In sanskrit, the word drishti means “focused gaze”, and it is a means for developing focused intention. It is used most commonly during meditation or while holding a yoga posture. The ancient yogis discovered that where our eyes are directed our attention naturally follows, and that the quality of our gazing is directly reflected in the quality of our mental thoughts. When the eyes are fixed on a single point the mind is diminished from being stimulated by all other external objects.

 

 

Find a comfortable space inside or outside your home where your wind sculpture is perfectly in view and can be your drishti. It’s gentle curves and untroubled, flowing movement will give your brain the perfect sight to gaze on as your wind sculpture calmly dances in the air and you calmly watch your thoughts float away on the wind.
