In the busy and stressful world we live in it is really important to carve out some time and a quiet spot for a refreshing meditation session. Making a special space at home where you can relax and feel calm is one way to do this. What are the key things you need to make a space feel magical and take you to a calm and peaceful place? You only need a few basic things like candles and cushions along with some other items. Let's get started.
The charm of candles flickering in the dark is something you can't ignore. Meditation is about concentrating on one thing and a softly flickering flame can be a great aid for that. Choose unscented or beeswax candles because they don't release harmful substances like paraffin candles do. Also the soft glow from candles is easier on your eyes and helps you feel more relaxed. If you want a calm and natural feel you might think about using some crystal candle holders too.
The right cushions are what make sitting for a long time during meditation a lot more comfortable. Think about floor pillows because they can help your back feel better and you can easily choose from different sizes shapes and materials. Add a meditation bench or a round zafu cushion to help support your legs and keep your posture straight. There are a lot of options out there so pick something that feels good to you.
Music and soothing sounds are great for creating a peaceful atmosphere for meditation. A little Bluetooth speaker that plays calm and pleasant music can really make a difference. You might think about the nice sounds of a bubbling stream birds singing and the ocean waves.
Aromatherapy can be a nice addition to your meditation area. Essential oil diffusers that have relaxing scents such as lavender chamomile or jasmine can make you feel more at ease and help you meditate better.
Your meditation room should be simple because too much decoration will ruin the peaceful vibe. Bringing in some houseplants can really make a difference. Plants make your space feel nice and relaxing. They help clean the air and bring some color to the room. Choose plants that help create a calm atmosphere such as bamboo peace lily or aloe vera.
Finally a little tabletop fountain could create a calming atmosphere. Hearing water flow can really change how you meditate.
Meditation helps you find balance and peace inside yourself and having a nice quiet place to meditate can make it even better. Making some easy changes with candles cushions and a few other things can turn your room into a calming place.
