The deck contains inspirational, calming and reflective thoughts for every day.

For millennia, the Chinese have sought guidance and inspiration from the Tao – the Way of the Cosmos. Now, the Tao Stones kit opens the doorway to this wisdom and shows how you can discover its secrets for yourself.

Simply pick 2 stones from the bag at random, check which of the 8 Chinese characters – representing the fundamental aspects of Chinese philosophy – you have drawn, and refer to the book to find your reading. Each of the 64 reflections includes an ancient Chinese proverb, a divination poem and a meditation to distill and clarify your message for the day.

Pack contains 2 sets of 8 meditation stones, a brocade drawstring bag and an 80-page illustrated book of readings contained in a wooden lacquered box.
Stones can be carried as meditative talismans.
