A creation of the Native American Ojibwe people, dreamcatchers are comprised of a hoop ornament with an intricately woven ‘web’ at the centre. Today’s dreamcatchers have evolved from their traditional formulation to incorporate a number of new, beautiful additions. These include feathers, beads, baubles, animal patterns and more. Hang a couple of dreamcatchers to get that ‘shaman’s tent’ vibe going.
According to Ojibwe tradition, good dreams will be allowed to glide through the catcher, while nightmares will remain ensnared and vanish at the break of dawn.


2. Set Up Some Himalayan Rock Salt Lamps

If you want to add an earthy glow to your home, Himalayan salt lamps are a great way to go. Apart from looking amazing, Himalayan rock salt lamps are said to reduce the amount of bacteria in circulation. They are also reputed to neutralise the potentially harmful electro magnetic field (EMF) that emanates from mobile phones, TVs, computers and other electrical devices.
Natural health practitioners and massage therapists have long understood the benefits of Himalayan salt lamps. They are ideal for giving your home a more serene atmosphere and a greater sense of balance.


3. Display Singing Bowls

Singing bowls have been used for meditative practices for thousands of years, and it is easy to see why their popularity has not diminished. Their sound (produced by a mallet being rubbed clockwise along the edge of the bowl) instantly kindles images of Zen temples and bonsai trees.
Aside from producing a sound that is great for meditation, singing bowls make for excellent décor pieces and conversation starters. They are available in a wide array of styles and colours.


4. Cleanse Your Home With Smudge Sticks

The burning of herbs to remove negative energy is a tradition common to a diverse array of cultures the world over. Smudge Sticks (first used by native Americans) are bundles of dried herbs that are burned to purify the air in a particular space. Sage, sweet grass and cedar are commonly used for smudge sticks.
Burning a smudge stick can help improve the energy in your home, allowing you to clear your mind with greater ease. However, as with any object that produces heat, you should never leave smudge sticks unattended.
