When I started meditating, I would meditate in my bed room because it is where I feel safest and most at peace. Now when I meditate, I shut out everything else. I meditate to bring peace to the space I\u2019m in instead of looking for a space that\u2019s already peaceful. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maureen F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have a  go-to &quot;kit&quot; so I can just make a space where I need it.  Pillows for support when  sitting, earplugs if its loud, eye mask if its bright, a go-to app on my phone so I can pull up a guided meditation or just background sounds.   As far as a permanent space in the house I just have a favorite chair and keep that space clean and attractive and make sure it&#39;s always a calm space even if I have guests-then when I meditate I have my kit for what I need that time.  I dont use everything every time.  so experimenting is what worked to get my space how I needed it.  Good luck.  Its a fun journey.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Riley E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Light a candle \ud83d\udd6f Make yourself comfortable, and able to sit with good posture. Fee the warmth of the candle and inhale its scent.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elias Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In the morning I have a peaceful place in my room before all flatmates have woken up. I just need a peace of ground near the sofa to meditate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Due to health I find it hard to sit so I lie on. My bed.  The important thing is it\u2019s quiet, you won\u2019t get disturbed and you feel safe enough to meditate there. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Signe X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I keep it simple and stretch out on the floor or on top of my bed or sit on the couch with all noise and distractions  tucked away.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Benjamin P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me, it was important that the space be clean and private. I set up a cushion in the corner of our guest room, with a small side table on which I put a few candles, and a drawer that has matches and a few other minor items. The guest room isn\u2019t used much, so it stays neat and I can close the door. When we have guests, I can just move the candles and cushion into a corner of my bedroom for a while. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Astrid F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Setting up a good meditative space is trial and error, and what works for one person won\u2019t work for another. If my back is playing up, I will meditate in bed in the morning.  <\/p>\n<p>I also have an actual meditation room that I have set up in our smallest bedroom (7\u2019x7\u2019) &#8211; although a dedicated space in any quiet room (or sheltered outdoor area) would work.   I have a rattan lotus chair, a salt lamp, low shelving with my books on meditation and other \u201cpeaceful\u201d books,  my singing brass bowl, and a few other items (sitting Buddha statue). I only use this space for meditation or reading books on meditation, Buddhism, or other \u201cspiritual\u201d books, so as soon as I go through the door, it is as though my intention and focus are already on meditation. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Priska T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would suggest that you truly only need seclusion, so that you don\u2019t have frequent interuptions, and a comfortable place to sit. My space is in the living room, on the couch facing out of the window, when I know no one is going to come through. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emma E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Its all about comfort and being free of distractions. If you are uncomfortable\u2014that can be a distraction. I have a round meditation cushion on the floor that helps me sit upright without being uncomfortable.<br \/>\nI also recommend listening to Binaural beats with headphones in. The sounds create a tone in your head and I use the movement of the tone to focus on to clear out thoughts. Other fun recommendations are to have good scents around you to observe\u2014candles, essential oils, or incense\u2014whatever makes you happy! \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alma Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try to find a room in your home that is little used. Dedicate it as your meditation space. Put a sign on the door if needed. Or, you can choose a space in another room, maybe a corner. In a worst case, use the bathroom. People won\u2019t interfere in there.  \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alexander U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just close my eyes.<br \/>\nWell,  a bit more.<br \/>\nI use the bells of the app.  Insight timer  and&#x2F;or a  chosen meditation from YouTube <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thiago A. you need a dedicated spot to meditate, a curated space that brings you joy.
