Setting Up a Meditation Garden

Setting Up a Meditation Garden

Have you considered taking a small pocket of space in your home and garden areas and turning it into a serene oasis where you can turn to when feeling stressed or blue? When you want a flower pot that stands out from the rest, you’ll find our “pottery” to be a cut above the rest. Arizona Pottery has a few suggestions to help you along with this process.
Our decorative ceramic pottery, cement pottery, and metal pots can produce landscape design that’s conducive for your relaxation.

Creating a meditation garden area can be a deeply moving and personally peaceful experience. This path towards healing and revitalization only takes some basic pre-planning. As you well know, serenity gardens are gaining in popularity due to people’s desire to seek a place of solitude and tranquility.

Where better to find peace then in your own backyard? Just being outdoors can be delightful and calming. Imagine being surrounded by your favorite scents, colors, wild life and water. When designing your space, take into consideration all the things that make you happy and evoke a sense of calmness. As much as aroma is food for the nose, it is also food for the soul. Nothing is as sure to bring a smile to any face as a whiff of the first bloom on a fragrant Daphne in spring.

How about Roses or Daphne? Their fragrance can remind you of a wonderful experience from your past or surround you in the heavenly scent of a long lost relative. How about plants that attract butterflies or birds? Would sitting on a stone bench surrounded by a variety of happy chirping birds bring a smile to your face? You can plant a flowering dogwood or fill a beautiful garden planter with goldenrod. Both of these attract birds. Fill different styles of metal, terracotta, or ceramic containers with colorful spring flowers and bulbs. Place a bird bath or fountain in an area where the sound of moving water will soothe you. We highly recommend planting fruit trees and vegetables in wooden planter boxes where you can harvest them and enjoy them while they grow. Place a fire pit in the center of your oasis so that even in the cold of winter you can enjoy this sacred space.

Arizona Pottery has everything you need to get your Meditation Garden started. We have hundreds of containers to choose from, including metal, ceramic, concrete, poly resin, and terracotta pottery. All of our sizes and shapes will compliment your space. Try placing our mediating animals around the area to encourage your practice. Each animal is holding a set of prayer beads and has their body wrapped in a meditating robe. Place round spheres under bushes, small pots of herbs and bulbs and containers of scented oils that make you feel joyous. Mix it up and get creative. It is a proven fact that those who have access to a meditation garden experience a drop in stress levels and Arizona Pottery is here to help.
