and mind are relaxed. Meditation, which provides relaxation by reducing the
stress, tension and anger attacks caused by the hustle of daily life, and at
the same time helping us to discover ourselves more closely, appeals to people
of all ages.
Meditation has a healing effect both mentally and physically. Meditation
helps the mind to remain calm and peaceful. Meditation, which allows you to
discover yourself and go on an inner journey, aims to control and sooth the
mind.
Choosing a Place for
Meditation
Selection of Place
In order to be able to meditate, first of all, the environment you choose
should be a quiet and calm. In meditation, the purpose is to empty the mind by
getting rid of all thoughts and to focus only on that moment. Therefore, the
slightest noise from outside will distract your concentration. The fact that
the room is not used much will prevent interruption of meditation.
A room that is quiet and where you will not be disturbed can be chosen
for meditation. If the room you choose is a room you use in your daily life,
you can create a small meditation corner in the room. Or, if you have the
opportunity, you can choose an area that overlooks the garden or a natural
environment.
You can also meditate in a peaceful atmosphere in nature. Nature and a
peaceful environment will make you happy to meditate. If you do not have the
opportunity to have such a place around, pictures of peaceful nature will also
help you feel close to nature.
Decorating the Space
Meditation aims to get rid of the clutter in the mind. Therefore, the
meditated space should not be messy as well. Also, it is important to have a
minimum number of items in the area to be meditated. This is because many
things are mind-straining. The space should be decorated with a minimum of
items so that your concentration is not disturbed during meditation.
Cushions, rugs, peaceful flowers and potted plants to be used in the meditating
atmosphere are items that will give you comfort and peace. Apart from that, if
you have something that you think gives peace, you can keep it with you. You
can use a mat for meditation, if available.
Lighting
It is necessary to pay attention to the lighting when arranging the place
where you will meditate. If you are meditating during daylight hours, a light
that you can take advantage of will be good for you. In the evening, you can
create a dim environment with less lighting.
Interaction with
Nature
It is healing and relaxing due to its nature. It is not possible to
constantly meditate in natural environments. However, using pieces of nature in
meditation will give you peace of mind. Potted plants and flowers will positively
affect the energy of the space. It will also prevent you from getting
distracted.
The Healing Power of
Music
Taking advantage of relaxing and soothing meditation music will help you
relax. If bird chirps, wind sounds and ocean waves take place in the background
when meditating, distraction is avoided. To avoid distraction, you should pay
attention to the music playing when you are meditating.
Aromatherapy
Including aromatherapy oils in your meditation area
will help you relax. Taking advantage of essential oils obtained from the
essence of plants such as lavender, rosemary, orange, clove and making a place
for scented candles will make your meditation session more effective.
