Create a dedicated space for meditation from "summary" of A Beginner's Guide to Meditation by Rod Meade Sperry,Editors of the Shambhala Sun
When it comes to establishing a meditation practice, having a dedicated space can be incredibly helpful. This space doesn't have to be elaborate or fancy - it just needs to be a place where you feel comfortable and at ease. Think of it as creating a little oasis of calm in your home.
Choose a spot that is relatively quiet and free from distractions. It could be a corner of a room, a cushion in a quiet corner, or even a specific chair that you designate for meditation. The important thing is that this space is reserved specifically for your practice.
Consider adding some elements to your meditation space that help create a sense of tranquility. This could be as simple as a candle, a small plant, or a piece of artwork that brings you joy. These items can act as anchors for your practice, helping you to settle into a meditative state more easily.
Keep your meditation space tidy and free from clutter. A clean and organized environment can help to clear your mind and create a sense of peace. This doesn't mean that your space has to be completely bare - just make sure that it is free from distractions that could pull your focus away from your practice.
Try to establish a routine around your meditation space. Whether you meditate at the same time each day or whenever you feel the need, having a dedicated spot for your practice can help to signal to your brain that it's time to slow down and turn inward. Over time, this routine can become a powerful tool for cultivating mindfulness and presence in your life.
