The Meditation Setting

First, let's consider the meditation environment.

There are a number of things you can do to create a good setting for meditation without spending a lot of money or changing your lifestyle.
  • Choose a spot that is conducive to quieting your mind. There will always be ambient noise, but you can turn off the television, radio, or stereo. Your eye can always find a place to direct its attention, but simple furniture and decorations are helpful.
  • Arrange a table with flowers, pictures, or other objects that are meaningful to you. This sets the stage for meditation, and helps you cultivate a space in the environment that supports and reflects the space you develop within yourself. 
  • If you are grabbing a few minutes out of a busy day, carry something with you that you associate with your meditative state. It can be anything that helps you relax more quickly and easily.
  • Identify a place in your body where you feel safe and relaxed during meditation. Focus your mind there for a few moments to center yourself.
