Picking a Meditation Room or Meditation Area You don't need to have a spare room in your home to dedicate a space to meditation, says Joy Rains, an instructor of mindfulness and meditation techniques and the author of "Meditation Illuminated: Simple Ways to Manage Your Busy Mind." "You could devote an entire room to meditation, or just a corner of a room," Rains says.
If you prefer a closed space, Rains suggests using screens or curtains to designate your meditation area in an otherwise functional space, like a bedroom or laundry room. A quiet backyard or balcony would be another great choice.
Try to pick a place that's apart from the spaces you inhabit in your daily routine -- i.e., not on your sofa or bed. A meditation-only zone will serve as "a reminder of what you are there to achieve, whether relaxation or communion with the divine," Gruver says.
