Meditation can be done virtually anywhere, but creating a proper environment will make your meditation practice more fulfilling.
Create an environment that is appealing and motivates you to practice regularly. If possible, devote a room or part of a room to meditation. If you don't have an entire room, section off some space in a quiet, low traffic part of your home. Consider personalized icons, artwork or colors that inspire or soothe you during your meditation. Consider wearing a shawl or blanket around you, and perhaps meditation beads or any other icon or memento personal or meaningful to you.
Once you have an area established, it is as easy as adjusting the lighting, placing a cushion or bench on the floor, choosing a meditation and pressing play.
*Position your cushion or meditation bench so that you are within a comfortable viewing range of the monitor, laptop or television.
*Adjust the sound volume ahead of time.
*Turn off phones, ringers, and any other items that can potentially distract you.
*If possible, have a source of fresh air.
*Have a source of warmth. Have a blanket or shawl to keep warm.
*Try to meditate in natural light - a source of natural light is perfect, though not too much direct sun. Dim artifical sources of light, if possible.
*Keep it clean. The mind is more able to be steady and relaxed when your meditation area is free of clutter. Stow your props (mats, blankets, cushions etc.) in a cupboard or a basket.
*Meditation should be done on a rug, carpet, or blanket. Avoid sitting directly on a cold floor.
*You can light candles and use a diffuser with a blend of essential oils to create a more relaxing mood.
Taking time to establish a meditation space will help you become more dedicated to your practice and will make your meditation experience more fulfilling.
