I’ve wanted to talk on this topic since so long. Finally, the day has come. It’s good practice to dedicate a corner or a room to meditation. Since you will gain so much out of this sacred practice, it makes sense to create this space with your personal sense of being.

Why Meditation Corner?

There are many reasons but mainly because:

• It will help you discipline yourself to meditate everyday.
• It will create a sacred sense of being.
• It will soon be filled with positive vibes and spiritual energy by just being around that space.
• If you are a teen, your mom will be deeply pleased by a clean corner in your room. (Caution: She might try to hijack it, mine did!)

You will discover more and more and more reasons on the way.

So you have decided to dedicate a corner? If yes – brilliant! If no – superb! Stick around, we have cookies for you (err.. both of you, yeah!)

How Big Should Be A Meditation Corner/Room

As the title says- it can be a corner and even a room. And by corner I mean a small space in room not necessarily the four corners. It depends on how big you want to, you can and you feel like making it.

So if you are a teenager who constantly fights with your parents for bigger room – you can throw some stuff in another corner and just empty a corner. Voila! You found your lost iPod under the clothes!

And if you are a grown-up child, you can try creating a space anywhere (I’m jealous!) but preferably away from drawing room/living room as they are barely personal.

What Should I Put There?

For starters: just a mattress, and a few cushions or maybe something a bit more comfortable. Nothing fancy, we will decorate it with positives vibes and sacred objects later. First, let’s give ourselves a prize for doing and learning so much – the cookies :

Do you think you don’t meditate? Well think again! What happens when it’s your favourite track playing on iPod? When you feel so good petting your cat? When you love spending time with your best friend? When you just take a quick nap? You are meditating! No, really you are!

Meditation is as Natural as Breathing.

You don’t have to sit in some yoga poses wearing orange clothes to meditate. Think of it as breathing. Do you take out time to breathe? Do you make any extra effort to breathe? Do you wear special clothes to breathe? No! Same is true for meditation too.

Don’t do anything to begin. Either follow the simple meditation process I talked about in earlier post or just do any of following:

• Plug-in your iPod: Just put on your favourite inspirational music. Love songs do the best.
• Paint: Even if you think you can’t. Just paint for the fun of it, not to show it to anyone… just for your soul.
• Write a Poem: Let your thoughts flow, forget the rhyming scheme or book on ‘How to Write Poetry’ just be with the flow.
• Watch Sunset or Sunrise: It’s wonderful, do it with someone special and now it’s really special.
• Travel: You are not living your life id you are not traveling.
• Pet your cat: or whatever pet you have (if you have one)
• Play with a baby: it really teaches you a lot.
• Play a music instrument or Learn to play one.
• Watch Comedy Shows: Well that’s easy

What’s on your list? Add to the list! Let’s make it grow. (Use comment section)

None of these sound like traditional meditation, do they? Well that’s what this blog is all about: new simple, easy or crazy ideas.

These simple things will allow you get more control over your thoughts. They will start flying in formations. You will begin to change your feelings deliberately. You will start living by heart. This is meditation. Just let go. Be at ease and let it flow. Now, you are at peace.

Share your experiences, problems, questions or simple/crazy ideas in comments. I’d love to hear them all!
