Setting up the
meditation space can be a fun and pleasurable activity. With a little
creativity and availing meditation supplies, the place of meditation takes on the character of the meditator.
Deciding to set up an altar, choosing an image to contemplate, trying different
kinds of music and guided visualizations are ways to keep the practice grounded
in the present. If the meditator participates in a spiritual group, the images,
sounds and smells of the space can serve to remind him or her of shared group
experiences.
Shaman's Market grew
out of that sharing. The company offers specialized objects and materials from
some of the great wisdom traditions. It also offers introductory meditation
supplies from a great many sources. The Books, Music and More section offers
insights into yoga, alchemy and energy healing, among many other paths.
Meditation teachers can be listened to and their words read over and over.
There are many schools of meditation that exist in just about every country and every culture on the planet. Each school offers a spiritual path and a way to meditate. The different cultures produce unique spiritual activities, scriptures, art, dance and music that color the meditation practice of that culture.

South America is a
land of great contrasts. It rises from the arid valleys along the Pacific Coast
to the heights of the Andes and the great inland Lake Titicaca. The continent
then drops again, settling into the Amazon rain forest. Ancient cultures have
occupied each of these ecological niches, and their shamanic practices survive
to this day. Shaman's Market collaborates with Peruvian Textiles and Bolivian craftspeople to produce fair trade
goods and to support the continuation of spiritual traditions.
A great many
meditation schools are available to today's student. This provides a wide range
of meditation supplies from which to
choose. Shaman's Market offers you the best products, discovered through years
of investigation and obtained through committed friendships with indigenous
communities. Any of these wisdom traditions is a good place to start.
