yogi gifts

For my daughter and her little one! She loved it and is now in a prominent shelf by the fireplace! She is expecting again, so I will need another gift soon Wayan!

I have been intrigued by the crying Buddha for years. I sometimes struggle with depression and the crying Buddha makes me feel less alone. I bought both the small and larger carving because I didn't know how they would "feel". I want to offer comfort to the Buddha and I didn't know what that would look like. Would I want to hold it in my hand or would I want to stroke his back? Turns out, I want to do both. I brought the smaller carving to work and I have the larger statue on my grandmother's desk. I rub the larger statue's back every time I walk into my living room. I offer the Buddha my comfort and he offers me his. I hold the smaller carving in my hand when I'm at work. The smooth contours of the carving beg to be touched. I'm so happy with both of them. They are beautiful.

I am so excited to present this remarkable piece of artwork to my stepdaughter, who is a newly certified yoga instructor. The workmanship is amazing and I know she will love it!
