5 Tips for Creating a Meditation Space in Any Room

As you continue on your meditation journey, you will soon realize it helps to have a 
dedicated space for your meditating and mindfulness practice. You don’t need to spend 
a bunch of money and have an entire room in your home dedication to meditation, but 
having a small space with some candles, ambiance, and décor can really enhance your 
meditation practice.


1. Consider the Energy of the Room

The first thing to consider when you are choosing a room in your home for meditation is 
the energy of the room. Every room and space in your home will have its own energy, 
which can be determined by so many factors.

Walk through your home and try to use your intuition to feel the energy of each space. 
Which rooms feel more peaceful and calm? This can vary based on your home and 
environment, so this might be your bedroom, living room, office, or your backyard patio. 


2. Clean and Tidy Your Environment

Once you have decided where you want your meditation space to be, you will then want 
to spend a little time making it clean and tidy. If you have too much stuff or you try to 
meditate in a cluttered space, your mind is going to feel cluttered. You are making it 
much more difficult to meditate and be mindful in a cluttered and messy environment.


3. Set Up Your Ambiance

Ambiance is crucial when it comes to creating a meditation space in a room of your 
home. This is when you add things like décor, candles and essential oils, something to 
play music on, what you look at, what you hear and smell, what you sit on. Everything in 
your environment is picked up by your senses, and that can help to enhance your 
meditation practice.

Some things to consider adding to your meditation space:

*	Something comfortable to sit on
*	Scented aromatherapy candles
*	Essential oil diffuser and oils
*	Pretty flowers or other décor


4. Know How and Where You Will Meditate

When you begin putting your meditation space together, you will then want to consider 
how and where you like to meditate. This is not just in the room you have chosen for 
your space, but where you like to sit, if you prefer sitting on the floor on a cushion or a 
sofa, if you tend to meditate in silence or with a guided meditation. 

5. Bring in Nature

Lastly, bring some nature in! Being in nature is a wonderful way to meditate, but when 
you can’t always meditate outdoors, the next best thing is to bring the nature to you. 
Consider bringing in live plants or flowers to your meditation space. Not only will you 
feel more closely connected to the Earth with real plants, but many flowers and plants 
smell wonderful, so that can help enhance your meditation practice as well. 

Putting your meditation space together is simple to do, but a really important step on 
your meditation journey.
