Zen garden

Zen garden A Zen garden is a Japanese garden that offers raked gravel that resembles running water, rocks shaped like mountains, and plants. Zen gardens have become very popular in the United States. They add a unique appeal to the landscaping. Zen gardens are also very easy to create. Many people enjoy the fact that this type of garden requires very little maintenance once it is in place. The word Zen means dry, so you are talking about a garden that requires no water.

Candles

Candles Many people choose to put candles in their home sanctuaries. Some place them there for purely decorative purposes for their colours or shapes. Others burn the candles to create an ambiance in a room. Softly, flickering candlelight can be soothing and help people relax. Still others, burn candles for spiritual purposes, such as a meditation focus or for prayer. Some people burn candles in a sanctuary space as a way to transition into the specialness of the space. It is rather like changing into casual clothes when you come home from work. This routine allows your mind to shift into relaxation.
