[sisterhood_of_the_GreenHeart] Meditation 101

 

Hopefully, you've had a chance to think about a few ideas for setting up a special place for daily meditation sessions. Perhaps you have already taken the plunge, rolled up your shirt sleeves, and have immediately began clearing a space for your meditations.Today's lesson is about filling your sacred space with a few of your favorite things. In order to make your meditation place one of solace you will want to return means your comfort must come first. Few people enjoy meditation if they are forcing themselves to sit on a hard surface or are bent into an uncomfortable pretzel pose. Have a cozy blanket nearby to warm any chills, also a few soft pillows to cushion your physical body. Are you comfy yet? Time to turn your thoughts inward.Using candles is a simple and inexpensive way to alter the ambiance of your meditation room/area. Replacing artificial lighting with candlelight will lower the intensity of energies that are not consistent with being intune with our spirits. Calming candlelight helps us go within and reflect more deeply on our lives.

 

Beginning and maintaining a daily meditation practice can be more pleasurable when we include some meditation devices and aids that are meant to help relax us and enhance our overall experience.
