To free the mind for journeying along the pathways of thought, this room is bare of ornamentation, the bustle and din of the outside world held at bay by thick marble walls draped in blue-black velvet. Deep silence reigns here, and soft darkness surrounds all. Suspended near the apex of the high arched ceiling is a luminous crystalline sphere, its silvery light falling upon a single white lotus blossom centered on a little sandalwood altar.
