Somewhere comfortable and quiet. Sometimes that’s on the living room floor sitting on a yoga block, othertimes it’s sitting on my bed in the evening as part of my night time routine
A place where I am supported. Preferably somewhere comfortable. On the bed. In my chair. On my sofa. With my earpieces on. And with ambient noise.
Oddly, my favourite place to meditate is in my car: the seat is comfortable, the temperature pleasant. I can park up somewhere quiet on the way to work and I won’t be interrupted or distracted.
I’ve meditated in many Incredible and inspirational places, with many Great teachers who are far beyond what I consider my place on my journey to be. Nature is one of my favorite environments to meditate in because it feeds me. But we live in such an lifestyle environment that I finally reached a point after many years that I no longer feel that I have to be in a special place to meditate and I truly believe that the best place to meditate is wherever you are at the present moment. So following that practice I’ve meditated in unlikely places, with unlikely distractions around me, and found this intentional meditation to be deeply rewarding. Overall my meditative practice is based on that moment whether I’m in a supremely serene setting, or with very learned people, or in a forest or in a busy waiting room or performing a task….. I find I still receive the gift of mindfulness that is always helpful. It’s all good!
I meditate in bed, it’s a part of my morning routine, I get up and have a shower then I go back to bed as it takes me a while to fully wake up (plus pain and stiffness slows me down) so I use this time to meditate, which I do lying down due to issues with my hips. The important thing is to find what works for you. Sone people can meditate anywhere, others prefer to have a set place, but at the endof the day it’s the habit itself rather than the location that matters
Today I meditated in a beautiful calm scenic place in Mountains of Cyprus, it was inspiring. But normally I do it in my room. Sometimes it’s even better. The important part is the meditation itself.
I usually meditate in my bed before sleep and when I wake up. But I can easily find a quiet place if I need calm or to meditate during the day.
I love how it feels to be out in nature while meditating. A nice secluded spot found on a walk. Down by some running water. Sun warming your soul. It’s lovely!
Sitting upright in my bed right before sleep. It relaxes my mind, helps me let go of the day and it is easy to just fall back and asleep afterwards.
Hmm… I mostly meditate in private in my room to make it easier, but it would be awesome to meditate on a mountain or in nature.
