Spice Up Your Meditation Space

by kevin on November 14, 2009

Meditation SpaceImprove your meditation by using some meditation aids. It will be really helpful for you if are able to change the appearance and energy of your meditation area. Find some decorative wall hangings that help to create a more peaceful and relaxed space. It is so important for you to be able to quickly get  into a better frame of mind before you meditate.

Here are a couple of things you can add to make your meditation experience more fruitful and realaxing.

Meditation Mat:

I have always found that I have a much better meditation experience if I sit on the floor in a half lotus position. At first this can seem uncomfortable to some. But once you get used to it and maybe even start to do some yoga stretching exercises you will find it easier to do. Rather than sit on the floor or on a thin blanket go and get yourself a yoga mat that will serve the dual purpose of a place to meditate on and also a mat that you can do some basic yoga stretching exercises.

Candles:

Personally I like to use candles for my meditation. There are some that don’t use them but I find that they create a beautiful Meditation Spaceambiance to the whole experience. Our sense of smell can create the mood that can take you to new levels of meditation experience. Experiment with different smells and find the one that resonates with you.

Wall Decorations:

There is nothing better than to walk into your meditation room and see pictures and wall hangings that remind you of your spirituality and gives you a sense of expanding beyond your horizons. I love wall hangings that are oriental in nature and instill in me a sense of connectedness with other world cultures and religions. I get a unique sense of calm and comfort by being able to visualize lands around the world and the people that are on the same path as you.

Jewelry:

I like to have jewelry that reminds me of my spirituality and my goals. Whether it is a Buddha necklace or a a Ying and Yang necklace I use them to help me get into the right frame of mind for my meditation. There is also a certain sense of power you feel from these symbols of purity and divinity. It is also known that metal holds vibrational energy and that by the very fact of holding this piece of jewelry you are affecting your vibrational energy. You can sense this when you wear a piece of jewelery from someone else. You can feel that person and feel that persons energy. Give it a try…

Fill your meditation space and even your life with reminders of your spirituality. You will be able to enter a state of bliss and serenity anytime you want. Imagine  sitting in a room that was cluttered with clothes and boxes and an old treadmill. What kind of meditation experience do you think you will have? Now imagine sitting in a room that had beautiful pictures,  smelled like a fresh cut rose and had plants that reminded you of nature and the beauty that really exists in this world..

Where would you be more comfortable?
