Designing Your Mindful Space With Intention

The time has come to startup or perfect your meditation area. It is essential to find a quiet, non-distracting spot so that you can focus all of your attention inwards. However, it is in your best interest to gather symbolic decorations as a reminder to stay present along with what you want to accomplish, so here is what Steelstuff has to offer:

• Dragonfly: These beautiful insects have been flying around the planet before dinosaurs started walking it, which possibly plays into why they have been a common spirit animal for those with spiritual beliefs for a long time. Dragonflies symbolize light, adaptability, and connection to the emotional realm.
• Butterfly: Butterflies represent a multitude of healthy mental concepts: renewal, emotional/spiritual elevation, playfulness, along with the metamorphosis of the mind and body. They also signify the psyche or the opening to the spiritual world.
• Hummingbird: Here is where direct symbolism of staying present comes into play. Hummingbirds represent lightness, resilience, and finding joy as well.
• Lotus: This one is a religious symbol for Buddhists and Hindus. The Buddha and Hindu gods are often visually manifested sitting on a lotus after overcoming the material world's difficulties. This beautiful flower symbolizes enlightenment... “The Lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud” - Buddhist proverb
• Cherry Blossoms: Cherry blossoms signify spring and renewal. In Japan, they also represent celebration. During the spring season of sakura, it is custom to observe their beauty while eating and drinking with friends.
• Turtle: Turtle fossils are some of the oldest found in the world, indicating that the turtle is a symbol of longevity, endurance, persistence, and the continuation of life (sometimes against incredible odds).
