This is a Tibetan Prayer Wheel it is used by buddhist monks to aid meditation. The prayer, or mantra, inscribed on the wheel is said to be released every time the wheel turns and has the effect of dissolving karma.
The movement of the wheel also allows the user to visualise the tantric energy of the chakras and helps centre oneself while the body is in motion.
It represents 'turning the wheel of Dharma' and the teachings of Buddha but could it also be used to charge your mobile phone?
The dynamic motion created by the ancient handheld device could produce an electric current that would be greater than other kinetic energy chargers on the market!
Many people say that meditation is unproductive but now there is a great reason to meditate, attain enlightenment and charge your phone at the same time!
Other features could be added such as LED lights or possibly a speaker for playing music.
This 'third way' combination of old and new technology could be a better way for us to balance our lives and foster new behaviour that could benefit the individual and society.
So true.
It's almost like the ancient buddhists already knew this..
They did indeed. I guess all of the ancients knew something we don't. Seems like all of them had the same teacher when it comes to stuff like this.
What a fascinating thought, to charge one's phone or play music while sending prayers out into the world! 😊
I'm sure this concept could be applied elsewhere..that way we can charge ourselves and the universe as well as our vape pens and ipads etc :)
