Having a meditation aquarium

And what if you took advantage of the hypnotic calm of a small aquatic world, as a support and facilitator of meditation? Calm, detachment from the ego, evocation of impermanence... a subtle balance that only lives in the present moment!

The aquarium has always been known as a hypnotic and soothing object.
A small aquarium without fish, populated by creatures and plants, is a micro-world, with all the components of an ecosystem. It is in itself an evocation of all the great themes of meditation.
The notion of impermanence is palpable there, each element being recycled infinitely, a temporary constituent of one being, then of another.
The life on the surface, with its fragility and vulnerability, overlooks the calm and stability of the depths.
The notion of ego seems quite ridiculous there, each life unfolding serenely within a whole.
For those who find pure meditation off-putting, or as an introduction to other meditation techniques, the support of a small enclosed glass cube, containing an evocation of the world and nature, is a means to achieve the calm conducive to self-forgetfulness.
No need to force oneself: the contemplation of such an aquarium naturally, spontaneously induces this state of deep calm, this break from the frenzy of everyday life.
"Choose all the creatures and plants that will make up this little world, banish any idea of technology; just a small cube of glass, a little water, a quiet place... and the magic will happen!"
