Time is flying...

... and as soon I reach half time in my journeys it start to go so fast. So sometimes I have hard to live in the moment. I am thinking about how it will be to come home, to leave this Monastery and all the kids behind....uhh...

Amazingly Kathmandu!!! 

By the way, last week I got a roomie, A Taiwanese woman that lives in US, she is here teaching for 2,5 week only, and we share room. She been here before, and she is a Buddhist so I get a lot of answers from her. She is very goodhearted and funny, giggling all the time, so sometimes we laugh so much so maybe the Abbott that lives in the room next to us, want to throw us out hihihih... But nice with a roomie after 2 month without any fluently English talking person in the monastery :)

Bus back home, see the police van.. :)

Wonderful Incense from Nepal

I am always looking for things that I like, and that will help me create my own harmony, good feeling & atmosphere  "my own temple" at home (ore were I am) and this, I´ll buy plenty of to bring home with me :)

My favorite Incense, Jasmine.
It´s 100% Pure & natural, handmade from inside out. The package is made of beautiful handmade paper, decorated with an Himalaya flower. And if that was not good enough, it also contains a beautiful message for the users: "MAY PEACE & LOVE PREVAIL IN THE WORLD"
For me it is just WOW!!! I like it :)

There is a lot more fragrances of this brand, some you can see at Things to Love

Traditional handcraft...

My interest in interior design, yoga, feng shui, and to create harmony in areas were people spend their time made me start looking for unique items in Nepal.

So on  my free time I´m out searching for genuine nice Nepali handicraft. And I´ve been finding so many beautiful handmade objects, often with a purpose, that will increase harmony and a peaceful home.

This woman makes the most beautiful Buddha figurines. All are handmade, of genuine wood. The ones I´ll show you here are made of sandalwood, with a lovely smell. The tree is light and bright, with an untreated surface.

If you want something unique, with an artistic value, you should invest in one of these beautiful pieces.  And in the same way you support the handcraft from a poor country, helping to make people take care of their own living.

This Tibetan man is living in exile from his mother country, as many other Tibetans, and lives now in Nepal. He took the tradition with him, and makes Tibetan prayer flags. 

They are all, printed by hand, with this lovely print plates from Tibet, he cut, sew and measure all by himself. There is also a tradition that the flags, depending of the prints should be made the right day in the month. 

And as Buddhist he follows the moon cycles. All flags have different meanings. We have selected some of them, and also together we design a new banner for prosperity. You can find fabric made prayer flags, but this once are a handcraft, and we believe with stronger and more genuine power.

Handmade objects from one place on earth where the knowledge of faith, harmony and kindness bloom in an ancient culture.

An art that is not well known to the rest of the world. That is why I want to highlight this craft and skills for the rest of the world. For a people living in an underdeveloped country with so much hidden knowledge.

By creating a harmonious beautiful home with items from here, will it not only give you a good living, balance and harmony, it will also benefit the people of Nepal!
