9 Things You Need in Your Meditation Corner

Are you thinking about decorating your meditation corner? Maybe you’re looking for ways to make your setting more physically stimulating or therapeutic. Maybe you just want to add to your décor and scenery! Regardless of your reason for wanting to meditate, remember that it’s important to try to limit any physical and audible distractions that may disrupt you during your practice.

Find someplace comfortable that you can meditate calmly in. You can do it in your office, your living room, or even in your car! Wherever you can find your tranquility, these are the 10 must-haves to create the perfect meditation space.

Comfort

The most important thing to keep in mind when embarking on your meditation journey is your comfort. If you’re in pain or discomfort, you may not be able to quiet your mind. And if you can’t relax, you can’t find your serenity.

You’ll want to consider how and where you’ll be sitting. If you’re practicing your technique on the floor, a meditation cushion is a great idea. This one was designed with meditation in mind, providing excellent support for your posture. But if you’re utilizing yoga in succession with your meditation, you may want to try using a yoga mat or yoga block instead.

Dim the lights, put the kids to bed, and switch on the oil diffuser. Aromatherapy is the holistic practice that uses essential oils medicinally to promote overall health, and this bundle comes with lavender, which is great for relaxation, and if you’re having trouble concentrating, peppermint for focus!

Now if burning candles are more your thing, skip the expenses on name brands. This pure white sage smudge candle is not only good for cleansing the home but for banishing negative energies and balancing your chakras too—or this pack of incense is a dream with six targeted mood enhancing stick bundles!

Whatever your method may be, incorporating aromatherapy will improve the health of your body, mind, and spirit by stimulating our senses and promoting positive action in the same ways certain sounds do. Different frequencies in music and noise affect your vibrational energies. Binaural Beats ranging between 4-8 Hz have been said to aid meditation and relaxation while greatly reducing stress.

However, when it comes to drowning out your surroundings during your practice, you might find yourself distracted by the noises around you. If you’re having trouble clearing your mind, a white noise machine might be just the thing you need. This one comes with a variety of sounds, perfect for zoning out audible obstructions that you don’t want interfering with your session. With a soothing night light and remote app that you can control directly from your phone, it even makes the perfect tool to put your little ones to bed peacefully, and if you have trouble sleeping, you might want to try adding white noise to your bedtime routine for total body relaxation that puts your mind at ease in minutes.

Scenery

One of the most popular and attractive decorations utilized during meditation practices are Himalayan pink salt lamps. They emit a warm, comforting glow that reduces your stress, drawing in a myriad of other amazing health benefits, like decongestion and mood enhancement, by acting as a natural air purifier.

Crystals are also known to be natural purifiers, working to boost low energy, rid negative intentions, and release blocked life force energy. They are made up of a group of minerals that create beautiful stones that vary in texture, pattern, color, and rarity, and they can be used to support mental health conditions.

If you’re looking for a great starter kit, this set includes a chakra pendulum, amethyst cluster, raw rose quartz, and 7 tumble crystals in a premium wooden box curated for balancing the 7 chakras. It even includes a downloadable e-book that teaches you exactly how to use your new crystals, plus more information about their healing abilities, or check out our store to browse a variety of handmade jewelry each crafted with their own unique healing crystal.

In learning how to care for your newfound gems, you may want to invest in a crystal altar. Don’t be fooled by its name, this 2 tier glass pyramid is not only perfect for storing jewelry, but it’s simultaneously one of the most beautiful crystal altars that I’ve ever seen! If you’re looking for something to store your new set in, this pyramid will bask your crystals in the sunlight, charging them full of healing potential with the sun’s natural rays.

Or add a Tibetan Singing Bowl to your collection. This bowl revitalizes any meditation space, decorated in black and gold brass. It creates a beautiful production of sounds, and using vibrational sound therapy (VTS), sound waves are transmitted directly into the body, inducing a state of relaxation that is liberated from the burdens of tension and stress. Using a mallet, circle or ring the sides of your singing bowl to produce a symphony of vibrations that invoke mental alleviation before and during your meditation sessions.

Consistency

If you want to see any lasting effects from meditation, the key is consistency. These are the most useful resources to ensure that you continue to hold yourself accountable and pursue your meditative journey. One of the most important factors of meditation is self-reflection. After a session has completed, turn to your mediation journal to reflect on any thoughts that rose to your conscious mind during a session.

If you like something organized, this journal outlines morning meditation and evening reflection prompts perfectly, making this ideal for beginner meditators with topic points to guide your thought process. You carry the potential to change your life’s direction with the power of thought and intention, and by journaling our meditation process, we begin to gain mental clarity and become more receptive to love and abundance.

Using meditation beads or prayer beads during your practice can guide the flow of energy in order to raise your vibration. Made from natural gemstones, these Mala Beads are crafted to aid your meditation and balance your chakras. Specifically, the Mala has 108 beads, which is considered a sacred number in Buddhism, Hinduism, and yogic tradition. This signifies the removal of 108 kinds of trouble or inflictions on humanity.
