Objects for Mindful Living

This article was published on: 07/27/19 5:52 PM

Our community is waking up to our inherent spiritual nature. 

A recurrent inquiry into the interconnectedness of things around us and how they affect our wholistic wellness has created the opportunity to explore ancestral methods that were minimized with the succession of modern science.

From time immemorial, ancient masters acknowledged the great power that objects and accessories have the capacity to wield. Source of rituals and amulets, they became traditional tools that played an enigmatical role in the development of spiritual practices. 

The energy gathered in certain objects can influence us on a physical and mental level, so much so, working as portals to grant access to deeper levels of consciousness or creating a calming and transformative energy field around us. 

A given ornament can bear different sacred meanings. It can be a verse of intentions in a necklace form, a reminder; an accomplished goal or a latent desire imbued in a small journal.

An infinity of possibilities awaits for those ready to dive deeper into the mysteries of life through the practice of meditation.

Whether you tune in your soul through graceful movement, deep meditation or a simple passion for life, there is a special space for an object that serves as a bridge between the inner and outer world. 

From Meisou, we invite you to live your truth in a creative way, allowing abundance to channel through balanced and conscious actions. 

 

Creating Awareness

 

The choices we make on a daily basis have the capacity to create a positive or a negative impact environmental and socio-economically.  We want to be part of the shift that is taking place in our world, as finally, humankind is starting to work symbiotically with the environment.

At Meisou we are working on enhancing the vital synergy between mankind footprint and the biosphere with our overall manufacturing process but also with the strong desire to draw everyone to practice mindfulness through the power of choice. 

 

WE DESIGN MINDFULLY and take care of every detail in all stages of the production cycle

  •  The materials we use for our garments grant their unique essence.  Hence, we use very specific natural fibers such as bamboo, linen, and GOTS certified organic cotton. We are aware that coloring of textiles pollutes deeply our waters; for that reason, we only apply locally sourced plant-based dyes coming from the leaves of the true indigo and Indian redwood plants among others.
  • Each and every product from our store is hand-made in Bali by local artisans; we work directly with them and we encourage a circular production where there is no hierarchy. Every person in the team matters equally. We love Bali and we want to make sure the brand contributes positively to its community.
  • Our packaging it’s also beautiful and can be used in many different ways. We consider the end of life of our products and we try to maximize its life span and follow the 3 r’s principle; Repair, Reuse and Recycle.

WE COVER THE ESSENTIALS to complement your rituals.

A minimalist approach is key to create a space where energy can flow. We encourage to purchase only those things that can serve, leaving aside those that do not represent us anymore. 

We strive for quality rather than quantity: you will find that our collections are a true expression of simplicity that can be summed up by less is more. We seek to bring the right pieces that hold real significance for you.

 

WE INFUSE YOUR PRACTICE and daily life with objects to come back to when mind over feeling

  • Our mala necklaces are a unique and powerful combination of gemstones and Rudraksha seeds. These ancient seeds are believed to contain the power of Shiva, the great meditator. The Rudraksha we use is natural and collected from the island of Java.

 

  • Each mala is arrayed only by Balinese Brahman women’s hands; once the mala is completed with 108 beads, the youngest high priestess of Bali conveys a deep ceremony to bless the malas through mantra chanting, Balinese offerings and holy water.

 

  • The traditional kimonos signature of Meisou can be worn in and out of the ritual space. We love to detain a classic and elegant pattern with grounding plain colors and soft touch. The delicate feel of our natural fabrics makes them ideal to be worn during the meditation practice, self-care rituals or even for daily activities out of the house.

 

  • We create handcrafted jewelry made with silver and gold. Part of the collection is our Sanskrit word necklaces and bracelets. This ancient language from India carries deep meanings with its highly vibrational sounds. 

 

  • An assortment of scents contained in our organic incense such as Agarwood, Frankincense, and the very singular fragrance that emanate from our Balinese medicine sticks and palo santo can be found in our store too.

​Meisou represents an intuitive fusion of east meets west, to support those traditional practices that are still relevant in contemporary times.
