INSTRUMENTS THAT CAN HELP YOU TO FIND INNER PEACE

How to find inner peace and relaxation? Conscious observation and opening up the senses will help you live in the here and now. This will bring you peace, according to adherers of the school of mindfulness. Maaike van Boxtel has created four instruments to help people achieve this. Listen to your heartbeat using the bigger horn that acts as a stethoscope, see things differently by looking through the combined lens, rediscover scents using the smaller horn that will set the air in motion, and feel the nine-bead ‘prayer chain’ between your fingers. The instruments are worn like a Chatelaine (a key chain): on a leather belt around the hips.
