Have you always wanted to create that perfect relax space at home? Sure, meditation may be a type of exercise that you can do practically anywhere. However, if you have an extra room, why not turn it into a real meditation spot, where you can finally enjoy your everyday routine on another level?
Here are some ideas that can turn your practice into a real spiritual experience.
Ambiental Music
Meditation is a spiritual experience and many people practice it in silence. However, it is fundamentally about inner or mental stillness that enables us to live our lives without too many distractions. Interestingly, music can stimulate the process of turning inward and help you get into that physical and mental flow. Sure, listening to music while practicing yoga isn’t exactly how Patanjali described the yoga sutras. Still, yoga practice has changed significantly over the centuries and so there is nothing wrong with a little music to help you get into the flow.
Mandala Pattern
The mandala is a symbol of spirituality and ritual in Asian culture. It is sometimes perceived as a visual representation of the universe, or as a guide to the various practices of many Asian traditions, including meditation. In Hinduism and Buddhism, it is believed that entering the mandala and advancing to its center can lead you into the process of changing the universe from eternal suffering to joy and happiness. When it comes to yoga, mandalas portray the same values; it is a sacred place that can block all outside influences. You can place them all around your yoga studio, and you can even try drawing them during meditation periods.
Now it’s Time to Enjoy
Once you’ve set up your wallcovering and chosen the right music to help you get into the flow, then its time to enjoy your beloved yoga time. Remember, meditation is beneficial even when practiced daily. So, set realistic goals, know your boundaries, and make your meditation practice something you look forward to.
