The most common type of &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Zen Garden&lt;/a&gt; is the Karesansui.  Karesansui is a form of dry &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Zen Garden&lt;/a&gt; that when raked is meant to appear as if it were water.  Zen Gardens are meant to bring a sense of peace and calm to ones mind.&lt;br /&gt;    Unfortunately for most us, having a &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Zen Garden&lt;/a&gt; in our backyard is just not feasible.  Fortunately, many people have &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Desktop Zen Gardens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; available online for purchase.  While most of these gardens are acceptable, I felt that they were lacking.  Every &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Zen Garden&lt;/a&gt; that I saw online was the same cookie-cutter, factory processed garden.  I believe that something more could be done to bring inner peace to ones work environment.&lt;br /&gt;    I created &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Waterfall Zen Gardens&lt;/a&gt; as a way to truly beautify and pacify ones work environment.  We spend the greater portion of our waking lives at jobs that cause us stress and keep us away from our loved ones.  &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Waterfall Zen Gardens&lt;/a&gt; are handcrafted pieces of art that I and my wife have meticulously created one at a time.  I encourage you to further explore my site and see why &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/"&gt;Waterfall Zen Gardens&lt;/a&gt; are truly unique.</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/inner-peace-office-workplace/2008/09/history-of-zen-gardens.html' title='The History of Zen Gardens'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2348455051811081352&amp;postID=7649292389629931637' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.waterfallzengarden.com/inner-peace-office-workplace/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2348455051811081352/posts/default/7649292389629931637'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2348455051811081352/posts/default/7649292389629931637'/><author><name>Pat the High Spirit</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13465847264756792722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348455051811081352.post-1363045145651128523</id><published>2008-08-24T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T11:06:05.767-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bosses day waterfall zen garden stress balance office environment'/><title type='text'>Stressed Out Boss or Executive</title><content type='html'>We've all been there before.  You go into your bosses office to ask him or her a simple question and they either look at you with the "I hear you, but am not really listening" face or they just flip out on you.  Most people are stressed out their job and often times no one more than the head of your company. There can be a number of reasons for the stress: money issues, difficult clients, or a pressing project. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You spend the better majority of your waking moments at your job in a rather cold, mundane environment.  With all the neon lights and stale air, it's no wonder why people get stressed out.  Our bodies are out of sync with our natural environments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bosses day, restore balance to your office environment with a &lt;a href="http://www.waterfallzengarden.com"&gt;Waterfall Zen Garden&lt;/a&gt;.
