Where to Meditate?

Decide right now where you're going to be meditating. Each time you enter this place, your mind will be tempted to start a meditation session.

If you have enough room in your house, set up a separate place. Put down a carpet and make this your meditation place.

If you don't have enough space, a chair should be sufficient most of the time. Be sure not to put it near something that can induce a flow of thoughts in your head, such as your desk. It should be located in a neutral place.

In Zen meditation, distracting items, such as red socks, are not permitted because they can distract other meditators from getting in a state of full meditation.

Create a distraction-free place.

Fabulous Traveler, set a reminder for yourself to create your own meditation haven.
