✧ Creating a meditation corner just for you is a great way to establish a dedicated peaceful space for your relaxation and mindfulness practice.

 

Here are some ways to help you set up your own meditation corner:

Step 1. Choose the Location
- A Quiet Space: Find a secluded area in your home (or your garden - dependent on the weather) ... away from noise and distractions.
- Natural Light: If possible, select a spot with natural light for a calming effect.
- Comfort: Look for a place where you feel comfortable and at ease.

Step 2. Select a Surface
- Flooring: Use a soft mat or cushion on the floor. A meditation cushion or a yoga mat can enhance comfort.
- Chair: If sitting on the floor is uncomfortable, consider using a comfortable chair with good back support.

Step 3. Create a Relaxing Atmosphere
- Decor: Add plants, artwork, or calming decorations that inspire peace.
- Colour Scheme: Opt for soothing colours like soft blues, greens, or neutral tones.
- If Lighting is needed: Use soft lighting like lamps, candles, or fairy lights to create a serene ambiance.

Step 4. Add Some Essential Accessories
- Cushions and Blankets: Include soft cushions and a cozy blanket to enhance comfort.
- Altar or Shelves: Set up a small altar with meaningful items like crystals, photos, or spiritual symbols.
- Incense or Essential Oils: Use calming scents like lavender or sandalwood to promote relaxation.

Step 5. Incorporate Sound
- Music: Have soft instrumental, white noise or nature sounds playing in the background if it helps you relax.
- Guided Meditations: Keep a speaker or headphones handy for guided meditation sessions.

Step 6. Set a Schedule
- Dedicate specific times for meditation to establish a routine. Consistency can help deepen your practice but don't put pressure on yourself if you miss a session or it will defeat the object.

Step 7. Personalise Your Space
- Make your meditation corner personal. Add items that resonate with you, like books, quotes, or meaningful symbols. 

 

Step 8. Boundaries

-  let others know that this is your 'peaceful time' spot and you are not to be disturbed.

-  remember ~ this is your special time to recharge your battery.

With these steps, you can create a meditation corner that serves as a sanctuary for mindfulness and relaxation.

Remember, the most important aspect is that the space feels right for you, so feel free to modify these suggestions to suit your own personal preferences.
