Sometimes you might find it challenging to find a gift for someone. Socks, soaps and wine will only get you so far, and there’s only so many times you can get someone the same gift. While you may not be religious or spiritual yourself, you probably have friends and family who are. And fortunately, there’s a wide array of meaningful gifts they will love.
Prayer Accessories
Almost all religions use sacred objects of prayer to help with spiritual focus and guidance. For example, Catholics adorn the rosary and the crucifix while Kiddush cups commemorate the Jewish Sabbath. Things related to someone’s religion make excellent gifts they will treasure forever. Of course, Indian religions also use sacred objects, and you can buy mala beads for close friends. Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism all include the use of mala for the spiritual practice and worship known as Japa.
Ancient Exercise Classes
Further to Indian and other ancient practices, ancient exercises are ubiquitous worldwide. Yoga, Tai-Chi and Qi-Gong are a few examples of ancient traditions still around today. In fact, over 300 million people take part in Yoga alone. Perhaps you have a friend who is yet to begin or is a little apprehensive about a specific ancient practice. Many classes and instructors offer introductory classes as gift packages as a gentle way to entice new participants. You would be doing someone a favour, given the considerable health benefits of such classes.
Meditation Subscription
Not everyone likes to get out and meet new people, and some don’t have the time. So instead of a class gift certificate, perhaps you could consider a subscription to a meditation app instead. Apps like Headspace, Calm and Breathe are among the top-rated mind-focusing programs available. You simply sign up and download it to your smartphone or tablet. Apps like these commonly offer insight into popular meditation techniques. But they also come with lifestyle management aspects such as stress reduction, sleep patterns and breathing exercises.
Tarot Reading Red Letter Day
Tarot cards have been used as a means of divination for thousands of years. There is a belief that the Tarot can guide you through the zodiac, associated with psychics, mediums, and the supernatural realm. The Tarot is therefore widely used to predict the future. Unfortunately, it takes years to master reading and understanding tarot. But tarot courses are an inexpensive gift that will be appreciated. There is no tutor, but you will be sent all you need to read and learn about the craft.
Guides to the Supernatural
Further to the Tarot and the supernatural, many books and guides are available for those interested in the spiritual. You could purchase books about ghosts and ghouls, but something more substantial is required for the spiritual. Self-help and actualization books like The Secret are popular among believers in the law of attraction. Or perhaps you have a friend who believes in dream interpretation. Some believe in synchronicity and divine intervention. So books about spirit guides and angel numbers would make a great gift for such a friend.
