For the reader
Finding a comfortable position while reading can be a challenge. That's why we fell in love with these book assists conceptualised by Goa-based Aakash Dhingra of Orion Goa. Place your thumb on the wooden assist which will help keep the book open with ease. They have different designs to choose from, too.

For the spiritually-inclined
Writing requires you to dig deep. If you practise Reiki, then this Cho Ku Rei board made from naturally seasoned, reclaimed teak wood might help. The symbol inscribed on the board translates to ‘placing all the powers of the universe here'. The wooden bolt on top will hold your paper in place.
