MEDITATION RUG

Just as it was customary for ancient yogis to practice yoga and prayer upon animal skins, it has been an ancient tradition for Kundalini Yogis to practice on a sacred sheepskin which is honoured, revered, and can be used for a lifetime. Sheepskins used for meditation are preferably sourced from farms that raise wool in an ethical manner, are animal welfare approved, certified, and from mature sheep who are raised for wool and have died due to old age. It is written that a yogi's reverence, prayer and meditation help to liberate the animal into higher dimensions.

Sheepskins have been used optionally in Kundalini Yoga rather than man made yoga mats because the meditation effect is quite tangibly heightened and it is better for the environment. The natural material insulates the practitioner’s aura from the electromagnetic field of the earth, and many people experience the feeling of a sacred space and profound shifts in consciousness while in deep meditative states connecting with the energy of the divine animal. Some choose not to use a synthetic substance, while others choose not to use wool at all. Others may use a natural or synthetic yoga mat, towel or blanket.
