Build A Zen Garden
What exactly is an outdoor Zen Garden? The term “Zen Garden” is typically used to describe a specific type of Japanese garden comprised mainly of sand and rocks and focuses on design simplicity. The style comes from the Zen Buddhist Temples where many of these gardens can be found. These gardens can be small framed boxes or may take up half of your yard. You can create them in any size or form that you wish. The idea is that the sand or gravel that forms the base of the outdoor zen garden represents the water of a pond or ocean. The surface of the sand is often raked to represent the ripples of water.
The Outdoor Zen garden is a pit of sand or gravel. Then stones are placed carefully in the sand to represent islands or rock formations generally found in water. This is a common design and interpretation of proper rock gardens but you can design it in any manner you like.
These outdoor zen gardens can be built in flowerbed type enclosures, directly on the ground, or in framed wooden boxes similar to flat flower boxes. You can research and look at some inspiring pictures to get a good idea for your Zen garden. Decide which type would make a good addition to your garden or patio area.
First, plan the area where you will create your Zen Garden. If it requires a framed box, you will need to create or purchase the box first. If you intend to create the rock garden on the ground, decide if you will need to excavate in order to remove soil or ground cover foliage. Map out the perimeter of the garden and create a border. Your local home and garden supply stores have several border materials that will do this job quite nicely. If building on the ground, you may need to line the ground with weed blocking material to keep plants from growing up through your sand or gravel area.
Add the sand or gravel bed. Whether you are adding sand or gravel, you will want to fill the area and completely cover the ground or bottom of the box. You need the sand or gravel to be deep enough to allow for raking the surface to create the ripple effect.
Now you are ready to place the focal features of your choice into the sand or gravel bed. For best results, these items should be partially submerged in the sand to create the appearance that they are protruding from the surface of water. Natural objects like large and small stones will keep you close to the traditional roots of this design but feel free to use anything that you like. Any natural items like rocks, plants, logs work best to achieve that natural look. Also, remember that simplicity is a major part of this theme.
Now you are ready to rake the surface to create ripples and designs. Feel free to be artistic. It is your garden after all and you can move objects around and resurface it as often as you like.

Why Use AN Outdoor Zen Fountain?
The zen fountain is one of the best selling fountains on the market. These outdoor zen fountains are known for their swaying flow of water.
The water in such types of fountains flows in the upward direction and the area is covered with a high settled array of small pebbles. The water flows upward, clashes with the stones and this adds beauty to the entire fountain.
The sound that comes from the sound of the water fall is quite soothing to hear and creates quite a serene environment. The sound of water relaxes the mind of an individual and the zen fountain is known for its charismatic beauty.
The table top outdoor zen fountain is a stunning structure, with a look of the ancient zen era and this attracts the people and presents something different for the eyes those people who view it. It may be definitely called an “eye tonic” for those who are interested to have a view of the fountain. To purchase such a fountain, one needs to loosen up his pocket as it is not just available, rather constructed for specific orders in the market place as well.
One needs to keep in mind that these fountains are hand made fountains, therefore the shapes and textures may vary from fountain to fountain. The color may also differ as the slate used is not the same for each and every fountain. But the person who decides that he or she should purchase a Zen fountain is assured of a beautiful piece, which will call for other customers as well.
The dimensions of such the zen fountain are quite appropriate. It usually extends to only 12 square feet and it is usually only about 3-1/4″ high structure which is just as good as any other height. The overall weight of this fountain is approximately fifteen pounds. Now the dimensions must be quite clear and therefore it can be proved that the bulk of such fountain is apt for a larger area. One needs to consider all these things while purchasing such a great structure.
This water fountain usually comes in a black polystyrene base which is apt for the Zen garden as there is no such scope of getting dirty. The water pump that is attached to the Zen fountain is adjustable which means that there usually aren’t very many problems or confusion about its operation. The quality of this fountain is considered the best of all.
The water is properly circulated throughout the fountain through an electric water pump. The voltage application is quite minimal at 230V/50HZ and is something that can be afforded by an individual. The other specifications, such as the length of the electric wire, size and other details can be looked at while ordering it online. Now the ordering options are quite suitable for most people as such a fountain is equipped with many minute fittings and an individual can come across all of the specifications while viewing on the zen fountain on the internet.

SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTMENT
What Is Spiritual Enlightenment
As it seems, spiritual enlightenment is often categorized into levels for practical purposes. Highest stage of spiritual enlightenment marks the attainment of God, but still there are certain levels through which the individual needs to evolve. It is like rising from the levels of animality to which we often tend to degrade ourselves. From the levels of animality, we rise to the level of humanity, which constitutes our true nature. And further from humanity to divinity, where we merge back in the source from where we have come. Let us, for our practical purpose, put them in stages and analyze the state of being in each stage:
At the very first level of spiritual enlightenment, the individual starts experiencing the reality as it is. It means that your mind ceases to interfere with what you are experiencing. Quite often, we are engaged in continuous talk, gossip, analyzing the environment around us, planning about future, and so on. However, when spiritual enlightenment dawns on your being, you take everything as it is.
At the second stage of spiritual enlightenment, you feel yourself in almost everything around you. You feel that you have some connection to every object and every individual in the world. It is like losing your own individuality. Spiritual enlightenment has its culmination at merging the soul in Supreme Soul, and this is where you start experiencing it. You feel that you are not individual anymore and not separate from anything. You feel that you are in everything and everything is just a part of the Supreme Soul from where you also have emerged.
At the third stage of spiritual enlightenment, you no longer feel connected to everything but realize you are everything. Because spiritual enlightenment gives you the experience of oneness with God, you feel that you are not separate from anything. You are not merely the body, sense, mind, and faculty of intellect: you are what everything else is. This stage of spiritual enlightenment imparts the direct experience of oneness.
Spiritual enlightenment is the fruit that sets you free, as you lose all wants and wishes to receive the fruits of your actions. You feel the bliss of completeness through spiritual enlightenment. At first it gives you the feeling that you need “Light”. At the next stage, you feel that you are merging in “Light”. At the culminating stage, you feel that you are no more separated from “Light”—you and “Light” are one.
How Meditation Can Lead You To Spiritual Enlightenment
Have you ever found yourself struggling in meditation? You sit to meditate expecting bliss or enlightenment but instead all you really experience is frustration? That’s because the very attempt to get something out of meditation, blocks you from actually meditating.
Meditation is a bit like gardening, you plant some carrot seeds and then every day you water it, you pull the weeds, you nourish the carrot plant in every way you can. You don’t expect a carrot instantly. But out of love for gardening you do the work without expecting anything in return. And then one day to your surprise,there is the carrot, beautiful, orange and delicious. Same with meditation.
If you commit yourself to meditation without expecting anything in return; If you give yourself to this moment out of the love of giving. Because some days meditation will be challenging, some days meditation will be blissful and some days meditation will be a challenging surrender to the intensity that is here.
But simply by meditating and by nourishing your awareness in every way you can,one day, without even focusing on it, you could be reading a book or walking in the woods and suddenly there is an opening. Suddenly, bliss is radiating freely from your heart.
Enlightenment will happen without you thinking about it. Without you do anything on your part.
It arises on its own, at its own time, yet it arises also because you planted the seed and helped it grow.
And the best way to help your meditation grow into enlightenment is by sitting in the presence of an enlightened teacher, one who has mastered high states of meditation. Such a teacher naturally radiates a bliss(known as shaktipat) that can be felt by others. And so simply by sitting with them, you easily enter deep states of meditation.
But you can experience this same bliss by listening to a very unique Enlightenment CD. Simply by listening to beautiful meditation music, you effortlessly attain deep states of meditation and bliss.

Cultural Drums
Wood djembe drum, ‘Kente Pillar’Today’s Price: $348.99
Poised in the hands of a rhythm conductor, the African djembe drum comes to life as sound travels from the taut goat skin head, plummets to the depths of the body, resonates in intense waves of power, then exits the drum magically, drawing the gathered crowd into its alluring beat. This djembe is hand-carved from wood by Joseph Aboagye and wrapped in patterned cotton kente cloth to enhance its visual appeal. An exquisite example of percussive craftsmanship, this instrument makes a wonderful gift for the dedicated musician.
To play, sit on the edge of a chair with ankles crossed, the top of the drum fitting neatly between the knees as the base of the drum rests behind the heels. This way the drum is angled away from the player. Sitting up straight with hands resting on the drum’s playing surface, the wrists should become flat and be in position to create the standard djembe sounds. Djembes produce three basic sounds: bass, tone, and slap.
BASS: With the hand flat and fingers together, place the hand at the dimension of two fists above the center of the playing surface. Allow the hand to strike and bounce back to the original position above the center.
TONE: This is the high-pitched sound produced by striking the top surface nearest the edge with firmly placed fingers.
SLAP: Strike the playing surface’s edge first with the heel of the hand, and then allow the fingers to naturally bounce down towards the drum’s center.
Wood djembe drum, ‘Elephant Village’Today’s Price: $317.95
Evoking the majestic African savannah, an elephant trumpets with pride on the outskirts of a Ghanaian village. Robert K. Ghartey crafts a handsome djembe drum from seasoned tweneboa wood. The goatskin head is affixed by iron rings wrapped in cotton, and a macramé cord can be slung over the shoulder.
Wood djembe drum, ‘African Rhythm’Today’s Price: $289.95
Bold West African rhythms race around the smooth contours of tweneboa wood. Samuel Coleman crafts a handsome drum that he names Frekyiwa, or “rhythm bell” in the Akan language. He sculpts the drum from tweneboa wood, finished in mansion polish. The goatskin head is affixed by iron rings wrapped in cotton, and a macramé nylon cord can be slung over the shoulder. An Adrinkra symbol known as Nyinkyim adorns the base; it means “dynamism and versatility.”
Wood kpanlogo drum, ‘Unity’Today’s Price: $289.95
A dynamic design and richly-carved surface distinguish this handsome drum by Samuel Coleman. Its merging Ashanti biakuye symbols express unity and oneness. The kpanlogo drum is a revered element in the music and culture of the Ga tribe in Ghana’s Greater Accra region, marking the rhythm for the traditional kpanlogo dance. However, its characteristic deep, loud sound makes it a popular instrument throughout West Africa. Coleman crafts this beautiful drum of tweneboa wood, affixing its calfskin drum head to wooden pegs with stout ropes. It is burnished to a rich sheen with brown and mansion polish.
An ideal gift for the world music aficionado, its joyous rhythms fill any environment with the spirit of biakuye.

Love your garden? Love statues? Have a beautiful garden to decorate?
Then this is your site! Ever wondered why we love our outdoor spaces? Well I have often wondered that myself and have spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I think the biggest reason is safety and control! We always feel safe at home don’t we? It’s our haven away from the crazy world we live in.
And have you ever thought about why we spend so much time making our homes, and outdoor spaces warm and beautiful? I believe it’s because we can control those environments, and will spend all our time making them safe and comforting, so we have a special place to get away too! I know I do that with my house and yard, because they are mine and I can control what happens there, where I can’t control the rest of the world!
Knowing this can make you happy and will bring a smile to your lips, every time you look around at what you have done for your soul!
ACCENTS IN THE GARDEN can give song to your soul, when you look at all their beautiful heavenly products for you! Let’s look at what Accents in the Garden are all about…They say to you…..
Welcome to Accents in the Garden, your resource for garden and home decor. Browse our line of custom-made products of cast stone, aged stone, Italian marble, fiberstone and fiberglass.
Offering religious, angel, cherub or animal statues, garden benches, water fountains, bird baths, planters and iron furniture – you’re sure to find something for your home or garden!
Aged Stone:
Aged stone is a fiberstone mixture of sand and stones cast into the surface using terrazzo-like techniques. The surface is then sandblasted and chemically treated, followed by an acid stain to give the appearance of aged stone in our garden statues, gargoyles, planters, urns, and vases. Since it is reinforced with a fiberglass backing, it remains light-weight and less fragile than concrete.
Fiberstone or Fiberglass:
By mastering the art of casting our garden statues, gargoyles, planters, urns, and vases in fiberglass resin we manage to retain all the detail or the original with the added benefits of less weight, greater strength, and a product suitable for indoor and outdoor garden decor use.
Fiber Stone is a mixture of sand and stones cast into the surface using terrazzo-like techniques. The surface is then sandblasted and chemically treated, followed by an acid stain to give the appearance of aged stone. Since it is reinforced with a fiberglass backing, it remains light-weight and less fragile than concrete.
Italian Marble:
Italians have always been known for their remarkable art and design. In addition to their original sculptures and other fine art they are also known for their detailed marble castings. Accents in the Garden now offers these beautiful Italian statues for your home. We hope you enjoy our selection as much as we do.
How are they made? This fine statuary is created by reconstituting real Carrara marble (approximately 70% marble and 30% resin). This allows for exceptional detail that would be very difficult (if not impossible) to sculpt from a solid block of marble. Some sculptures are supported by a genuine black Carrara marble base to give it the elegance it deserves..
There are so many ways to decorate your outdoor haven and make it your special place to re-treat too, I will try to help you with a few ideas.
1/ Something I love to do is go outside at night and see my large pond all lit up, and my fish swimming around! How awesome is that? It gives me so much pleasure to see what I have created, and enjoy it to the fullest! So lighting is a great addition to your haven.
2/ Plants- Plants- Plants!! You can never have enough greenery and live flowers in your haven, so load up and make your yard very special with lots of color!
3/ Bring the Birds in! I spend a lot of time watching my special feathered visitors, so have bird houses in your trees and enjoy the show!
4/ Your haven needs furniture! You can place benches and chairs around your yard, at special places you enjoy like a pond or in among your flower garden. You will find yourself drawn there often!
5/ And of course we can’t forget about the best feature and that is water!! You really need to have a water feature, where you can sit and hear the water running. In my pond I have a high rock bed that the water runs down, and into the pond and OMG!! there is nothing like the sound of water!! I can sit there for hours just daydreaming!
6/ Something that really adds to your haven is STATUES!
I love ANGELS & CUPIDS! BUDDAH’S are awesome too, I have a laughing Buddah and smile every time I look at him. There are many beautiful statues out there and you will feel your body tingle when you find the one you should have, so touch them and spend some time quietly standing with each one. Trust me you will know!
When making your special haven use your imagination and what YOU are attracted to, after all it’s your haven and you want it to reflect who you are, not me or your neighbors!! The most important thing to remember is to have fun, make it your own and spend all your free time relaxing in your special place.

Beautiful Christ Statues
As the rain hides the stars,
as the autumn mist
hides the hills,
as the clouds veil
the blue of the sky, so

that though I may stumble in my going,
Thou dost not fall.

Religious Paintings – Archangels
Archangel Ariel Price $297.95
Angel Ariel makes his valiant presence felt in this painting, but his reputation evokes enigma. His name means “God’s Angel”
Ariel also means (different translations) “lion of God” and is often associated with lions. When Ariel is near you, you may begin seeing references to or visions of lions around you. Ariel is also associated with the wind. Found in books of Judaic mysticism and Cabalistic, Ariel works closely with King Solomon in conducting manifestation, spirit releasment and Divine magic.

Archangel Zadkiel Price $237.95
The archangel Zadkiel is a benevolent presence with a kind face. Zadkiel means “righteousness of God.”
adkiel is known as the angel of mercy. He helps people approach God for mercy when they’ve done something wrong, encouraging them that God cares and will be merciful to them when they confess and repent of their sins, and motivating them to pray.
Just as Zadkiel encourages people to seek the forgiveness that God offers them, he also encourages people to forgive others who have hurt them, and helps deliver divine power that people can tap into to enable them to choose forgiveness, despite their hurt feelings. Zadkiel helps heal emotional wounds by comforting people and healing their painful memories. He helps repair broken relationships by motivating estranged people to show mercy to each other.
Archangel Raphael Price $279.95
A rosy aura tints the sky, illuminating the landscape where Saint Raphael walks in winged majesty.
“Healing power of God”, “The Divine has healed”, “God heals”
Hebrew word rapha means “doctor” or “healer”. Raphael is a powerful healer and assists with all forms of healing – humans and animals. He helps to rapidly heal body, mind and spirit if called upon, as in the biblical story of Abraham and the pain he felt after being circumcised as an adult. You may call upon Raphael in behalf of someone else, but he can’t interfere with that person’s free will. If they refuse spiritual treatment, it can’t be forced
Archangel Gabriel the Fisherman’ Price $119.95

The solemn figure of the Archangel Michael strikes a pose of triumph, conveying power and grace. Eliciting reverence, the leader of heaven’s forces in their battle against evil is always called upon by the Church, for he is its patron and protector.
Michael means Who is like God”, “Like unto God”, “Who is like the Divine”
The first Angel created by God, Michael is the leader of all the Archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth and integrity. Michael protects us physically, emotionally and psychically. He also oversees the lightworker’s life purpose.
His chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins associated with fear. Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative entities. When he’s around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light.
