What Makes It Uncommon

Lines In The Sand

Take a moment to breathe and reflect. Using the transitory nature of sand to stir the imagination, this simple birch wood box becomes an oasis for reflection, hidden thoughts, and creative yearnings. Artist Jayne Riew designed this compact, tablet-sized meditation box for artists, writers, and other creative professionals with lots of mental traffic. Filled with fine grains of sand that shift and swirl with your emotions, the ever changing canvas takes away the pressure of filling a blank page and lets the mind just wander. A soft velvet layer lines the base, creating a soothing sensation as the stylus makes its mark. Made in High Ridge, Missouri.

Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.

Jayne Riew makes books and boxes designed to promote introspection or documentation, or to help identify the unspoken or unexpressed. When it comes to toxic emotions in particular, acknowledging unwanted thoughts is hard enough. She believes that having a personal space with a lid or cover such as the Meditation Box can invite the practice of expressing such thoughts and emotions in a positive and even playful way.

Just right

I gave this to my mom as she is really big on little messages especially for others. She loved it right away and placed it out on the kitchen island. It's very sleek, light, comforting, and easy to use. There aren't any cons about it.

Customer questions

What size is the box?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! The box is 8.25" H x 10.25" W x .75" D

Does the Meditation Box come with the engraving that is written on the box in the picture?

Verified reply from Paul

Thank you for writing to us. Yes, your meditation box will include the engraving 'be still' on the outside cover and then then interior message that you see pictured. If you'd prefer to compose your own interior message you may want: http://www.uncommongoods.pro/product/custom-meditation-box

How does the sand stay in the box? Can you tip the box, or does the sand fall out?

Verified reply from Marisa

Good question, thanks! The lid fits down into the base like a puzzle piece, so it forms a tight seal. Simply tipping it to the side will not allow the sand to fall out. Aggressive shaking may cause some sand to come out eventually - but that's if you are really trying to make that happen, which is not very meditative, is it! If you watch the video, it shows how the lid fits into the base. Thanks for shopping with UncommonGoods!
