When I'm tempted by music gear I don't need, I have to resort to this mantra:
"Gear is the mind-killer. Gear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my gear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the gear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Le collier Mala ou mala tibétin est un type de collier composé de 108 pierres naturelles ou de bois qui séduit de plus en plus de personnes, à la fois pour son côté esthétique mais aussi, son côté plus spirituel. C'est un symbole de joie et d'harmonie. Il exprime l'énergie des matériaux dans lequel il est fabriqué.
