Fabulous recommends to have a specific space or at least a cushion for meditatation which helps anchor it as a habit. I find either my bed with lots of pillows and cushions behind my back or a reclining sofa in the living room perfect for me. As long as you are comfortable and no one will disturb you you should be fine anywhere you choose 🙂
I personally prefer to wake up and go straight into my meditation from bed. It’s a conscious and peaceful way to start the day, give myself a few more moments in bed while not sleeping and become aware of my body. I have found that if I leave my bed to go to a specific cushion to meditate I find excuses to not leave the bed, fall back asleep or just put it off. This is the easiest and most consistent way that I can start my day with intention and not adding extra steps
That depends entirely on you. Many people adore the ritual of elaborately defining every new space with as many trinkets and treasure possible. Others may opt for an old yoga mat or a scenic outdoor location. It comes down to what motivates you to complete your meditation 🧘♀️ practice every day.
Ultimately it’s what works for you. However, there is value in having a designated cushion and a specific space in which you always meditate. If you are consistent, the cushion and space will eventually represent the peace and focus gained from the meditation. They will have that energy. Whereas your bed is for sleeping, so it holds sleeping energy. I made my own cushion. I purchased the foam, selected the fabric and zip, and had a friend sow it together for me. It’s a custom meditation cushion and it’s connected to me!
In my opinion, it’s okay to meditate anywhere! (Except while driving.) A specific area or cushion can be beneficial by helping you enter the meditation mindset, but if you like to meditate in bed or somewhere else, then by all means do it! The important thing is that you’re meditating at all.
All you need for meditation is a place to sit, some silence or calm music, and a willingness to commit to sitting still and trying to focus on your breathing. Actual time or place is solely up to you based on what is most calm and comfortable.
It is recommended to have a set place for meditating such as having a comfortable chair or cushion to use each time you meditate but it’s not necessary. There are meditations you can do in bed, but the draw back of this is that it is easy to become too comfortable and fall asleep.
It’s better to do it comfortable that’s for sure although I suggest on the floor rather than bed as you could have tendency do drift back to sleep.
Sure. I think meditation is different for everyone. Whatever position is comfortable and works for you, then that’s great, you’re doing it right.
I don’t think you need a cushion. Meditating in a chair is good too. I do think it’s important to get out of bed. I I do find it works well to have a special chair. I find it a nice ritual, which helps me want to do it when I feel too tired, busy or distracted.
