Let me ask, what is a meditation space? A meditation space gives you a place in your home; dedicated to silence and stillness. So how do we create our own meditation space? Well, I’m about to give you some tips on how to do just that!
1. Determine the purpose of your space:
Is it to have a private place to meditate; or have a space with others? Is it to create a serene feeling in your home? Or for you to seek inner calm and clarity? The purpose of your place will help you determine where it should be and what you will need.

2. Find a space:
You don’t need an entire room for meditation – a corner of a room will do. You could also use an empty, spacious closet. Based on the purpose of your space, you could make it the main area of your house. Or simply in an empty corner. You could even make one in your backyard or garden.

3. Decorate your space:
Next, consider what images or objects will fit the purpose of your space. I recommend minimal decor in your meditation place to avoid distractions. Choose something meaningful to you yet sets this area of your home apart.

4. Supply your space:
You don’t need anything to meditate other than your body and breath. But you can use soft blankets and pillows, calming candles, soothing music, etc.

5. Make your space sacred:
Associate this place in your home with stillness, time for yourself or your family, but to meditate also. We only use this space for rest, yoga, meditation, or quiet time. The place in the house everyone can come to when they need some quiet time alone.
