You’ll feel like a Raja in this meditation chair. This one also provides the perfect place to practice the art of baby massage, on or between your outstretched legs. Several other uses for this comfortable extended throne come to mind, but you’ll have to use your own imagination. If you have a baby, you must have figured it out at some point (wink).
Responsible use of forest products and finishes for woods is advocated by “Harmony In Design” . Towards this goal, they have created an entirely new line of meditation products made out of Mango wood and other sustainable resources. After 20 years the mango tree stops bearing fruit, and can then be harvested for timber. Since mango trees can be plantation grown, they prevent the clear cut practice that is damaging rain forests. Multiple uses of the Mango tree, make it a win win crop, providing the delicious and nutritious mango fruit that so many enjoy.
Look at the beautiful rose carved into the wood. The Raja boasts elegant craftsmanship from every angle, and yet has a tastefully rustic quality that makes it easy to incorporate into your room decor.

Do you need a place to focus on one experience at a time, to truly savor the flavor and texture and temperature of life, and help you to be fully present and in the “now”? Do you simply have great taste in decor, and hold Japanese traditional home design in high esteem ?
Harmony In Design has done it again! They’ve brought us just the right furniture piece to complete our room design, and they’ve done it the eco friendly way. Their new Tea Table is made from the same sustainable Mango wood as the Raj meditation chair (shown in the previous post). The petite size and shape of the traditional tea table allow it to be versatile enough for a variety of functions. When not using it for a tea ritual, it can be used as an end table, or coffee table. The traditional round Zafu cushions store neatly under the table when not in use. This is a great help in saving space and in keeping the cushions clean. The table is available in 2 non-toxic waterbase finishes (Natural and Espresso) and the cushions are available with 2 different washable covers (Cream and Mocha). For descriptions of the pillow materials, see the post below this one.
You can feel good about Mango wood products. The mango tree stops bearing fruit after 20 years, and is then a good source of timber. Plantation grown mango trees are a responsible alternative to damaging rain forests. By eating the delicious and nutritious mango fruit and then building from the warm and beautiful mango wood, we do not waste any part of the tree before replanting.
The masterful craftsmanship of this elegant and understated table is truly harmonious. By choosing a round table, you also protect your shins from getting bruised and allow the room’s Chi to circulate gently. You will feel well in a room with such mindfully designed furniture; they help you to reach a state of no mind.

Choosing the items we use for our home decor involves quite a few considerations. Theme, style and color are often the most prominent. Showing off a unique collection of personal preference can also play a major role. This medium-size Buddha statue (six and a half inches tall) is an absolutely delightful decorative object that can fulfill any of the criteria mentioned above. In theme and style, it is distinctly Asian, but its faux-stone finish and light color mean it can easily fit in with other styles of decor.
It conveys more than just an Asian style though. Its peacefulness and serenity radiate spirituality and it is perfect for a small meditation niche, in any room of the house. Surround it with flowers and candles, for a small household shrine, as the Thai people do, and create a unique spiritual corner that is not so much religious as it is meditative.
