About Us

"Dedicated to helping you live a life free of stress."

Time of Zen was started for the sole purpose of helping you live a stress-free life.

It all began when we (the two co-founders) were faced with a problem: We were slowly falling into a state of depression after being constantly overwhelmed by stress over the years.

We did what most people do in a situation like this, we tried to keep ourselves pre-occupied with work, exercise, partying, etc. or we simply turned to medication, pills, and mind-altering substances.

Unfortunately for the both of us, none of these things worked.

Why? It's simple. It's because we were looking for band-aid solutions instead of getting to the root of our problems: Stress itself.

"Stress, the silent killer."

After some self-reflection, we realized that it was stress itself that was causing our depression.

Stress, although occurring in the mind, can have physical consequences. Stress is like a weight, the more you put on yourself, the more likely your body and mind are to buckle under it. And that's what happened to us.

But... chronic stress is so dangerous that it's been linked to heart disease, stroke, and even sudden death.

So we decided we had to do something about this ASAP. We first went through our to-do list and knocked out all the external, obvious "stressors" from our life (like simple tasks we were delaying). But then came the hard part: Eliminating the stress that stemmed from within our own minds.

Thankfully for us, we had the resources and a support system around us that could help us practice & pursue mindfulness and meditation. And, after some time, we were finally able to eliminate the stress that had been plaguing us for years. We felt liberated for the first time in decades, and we were truly able to get out of the dark place we were headed towards.

In fact, this was so effective that we decided that our purpose in life was to figure out a way we could help others live a life free of stress. That's when Time of Zen was born.

"Your one-stop shop for all things zen."

Although our selection is a bit limited at the moment, our goal is to eventually grow this store so that we can be your one-stop shop for all things that help you tap into your inner zen.

Of course, the ultimate goal of mindfulness and meditation is to be able to sit with your thoughts without having to rely on external factors (and regardless of what your situation in life is)... but we also know how hard it is to really put this into practice. Because let's face it, there's just so many things in our day-to-day lives that can distract us and get in the way of whatever meditative routines we set for ourselves.

However, we don't want to be a crutch to your mindfulness and meditation.

No, we simply wanna do whatever we can (no matter how small) to be the "little reminder" that helps keep you rooted and on track with whatever meditative goals you've set for yourself. And this is our way of doing it: By providing you with the best products (sourced from all over Asia) that help you tap into your own Time of Zen.
