Buddhism





Today more and more people wish to bring a sense of the sacred and meaning into their homes and work spaces. By doing so we bring spiritual practice into all aspects of our lives: Right Mindfulness, Right Thought, Right Action etc. Here in the Buddha Realm you'll discover images and descriptions for many of our gifts and products that will inspire practitioners and novices alike. Transform your surroundings from the mundane to the sacred with these gifts of beauty and inspiration.

 

Creating sacred space can be as simple as having a picture or statue of a favorite deity, a candle and a few flowers. However, for many people scent can induce a tranquil state and aid in meditation, yoga practices etc.

Instinct carries a broad selection Incenses from around the world and essential oils as well for those who are asthmatic. Clearing your environment of unwanted energies can be done by burning Sage and some incense. For many the Japanese incense has become a favorite because there is no bamboo stick involved and therefore less smoke. It creates a beautiful atmosphere for spiritual practice or simple relaxation. It is also a whole lot safer than the synthetic and toxic products found in department and drug stores etc.

 

Instinct carries a broad selection of alternative music geared primarily for meditation and yoga practice. There are many artists recording mantras in Sanskrit for healing and spiritual purposes as well as Tibetan monks, first nations, African and world music compilations. There are CDs that use different frequencies to help access different states of consciousness as well. The Sanskrit and Tibetan languages have been used for spiritual practice for thousands of years and therefore have a vibrational quality that many people in the west find essential for their practices and spiritual education.

We also carry guided meditation CDs to help in a variety conditions.

 

Our book selection is relatively small but is constantly growing and we try to cover a variety of subjects from: Buddhism and Yoga to Women’s and Men’s studies, social / cultural, Astrology, right livelihood, healing and bereavement as well as the more new age and esoteric studies etc. In that section we include many tarot and divination decks and sets that appeal to different tastes.
