Mini zen gardens serve a calming purpose. That's the reason they are used to help promote meditation & finding your inner peace.
The concepts of a zen garden are naturalness, simplicity, & austerity. They utilise gravel or sand and rocks to recreate the essence of the different elements found in nature. The swirling patterns in the gravel represents water, while the rock & stone formations become mountains or islands. Among the most crucial benefits of a zen garden is tension relief. You can escape the tensions and stresses of your busy daily life by concentrating on the repetitive physical movements. This quiets your mind and allows you to experience fully the current moment, rather than stressing over your past or your future.

The Components Of An Indoor Zen Garden Kit
The sand or gravel is raked in circular & line patterns to be symbolic of ripples on water. When water droplets fall into a calm river, they cause circular ripples, when the wind blows it causes lines, & rock outcrops always have circular ripples formed around them.
The stones or rocks within your mini zen garden represent the typical features that you would find in the landscape such as little outcrops and even islands.
Utilising the stones & forming asymmetrical triangles or putting the taller rocks to the back of the smaller ones are typical. The placement of the stones is all intended so that it pleases your eyes & brings a sense of calm and tranquility when you are looking at the landscape you have created.
Some modern-day dry mini zen gardens can also include mosses, plants, and some even have mini water feature. If you are thinking towards a more ornamental look, mini zen garden accessories & figurines can make wonderful additions to your garden. You can get mini Buddha statues that are less than 3 inches high & will fit beautifully in your zen garden.
