Pick a Spot for Your Calming Meditation<\/h2>\n<p>Identify a quiet area of your home where you can relax and focus without being distracted by excessive noise or chaos.<\/p>\n<p>It could be a guest room, a cozy nook in the living room, or even an outdoor meditation space in your backyard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/beachbody-blog\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Meditation-Space.outside.600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134526 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/beachbody-blog\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Meditation-Space.outside.600.jpg\" alt=\"Chair, blanket, pillow on chair outdoors\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2. Adorn Your Space<\/h2>\n<p>Make your meditation space a sanctuary with relics and decor that add to an overall relaxing ambience, suggests Sherrell Moore-Tucker, MS, E-RYT-200, YACEP, CNHP, MHFA, and iRest\u00ae Level 1 Meditation Teacher.<\/p>\n<p>Need ideas?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few items that can make your space more comfortable and help you get into the right mindset:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>poufs, cushions, or a meditation pillow<\/li>\n<li>fluffy rugs<\/li>\n<li>soft blankets<\/li>\n<li>relaxing scents like lavender-scented candles or incense<\/li>\n<li>soft or dimmable lighting<\/li>\n<li>anything else that helps you feel like you\u2019re in your own personal oasis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/beachbody-blog\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Meditation-Space.blankets.600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134525 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/beachbody-blog\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Meditation-Space.blankets.600.jpg\" alt=\"Blankets on bed, pillows in basket\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>3. Set the Temperature<\/h2>\n<p>Consider the \u201cwarmth or coolness in the atmosphere in your meditation space,\u201d suggests Moore-Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>Add a fan (if it\u2019s not distracting or too noisy) to keep you cool, or a space heater to keep you cozy.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Invest In Plants<\/h2>\n<p>Not only does greenery invite nature into your home, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3230460\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research suggests<\/a>\u00a0some houseplants may even help to purify the air.<\/p>\n<p>Try snake plants, hanging pothos, colorful orchids, or any other plant you love.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Keep It Tidy<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cA meditation space is needed for those establishing a consistent practice where presence, stillness, and awareness can be cultivated with minimum distractions,\u201d Moore-Tucker says.<\/p>\n<p>Clutter is the enemy of relaxation and stillness.<\/p>\n<p>De-cluttering your space can have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/stress-management\/in-depth\/how-decluttering-your-space-could-make-you-healthier-and-happier\/art-20390064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stress-relieving effect<\/a>, helping you feel happier and healthier.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your space tidy and organized so you can focus on your breath instead of the mess!<\/p>\n<h2>6. Stick With the Essentials<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have much space (if you live in a small apartment, for example), pick a corner and stick with a few basic pieces to help center you \u2014 like a cushion, some candles, and a piece of artwork for the wall.<\/p>\n<p>If adding separation is helpful for you, you can use a room divider, teepee, or canopy to create a more defined space for your practice.<\/p>\n<h3>Get Inspired By These Creative Calming Meditation Spaces<\/h3>\n<p>Need meditation space ideas?
