Whenever possible, it is better to locate the meditation corner away from electronic devices since they negatively interfere with relaxation when they are turned on due to the electromagnetic fields they generate. If they have to be, at least, hit the off!

“It is necessary that the meditation corner be clean and tidy,” explains yoga teacher Curra Márquez. So she chooses a clear area where there is no junk in the way.

The colors should be soft because they invite calm. The best is white, relaxing and representative of purity. And as for the walls, decorate them with images or objects that give you inner peace. Does the sea relax you? Hang photos of maritime landscapes.

“The ideal is to have a zafu or round meditation cushion to accommodate the posture,” recommends Curra. Failing that, you can use round, square or rectangular floor cushions and mats or mats to cover the area. It’s about getting that air chill out How well does it fit?

Have a couple of them on hand to cover yourself so that your body doesn’t get cold while you meditate. Now you can close your eyes and seek conscious breathing: inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale…

Flowers and mandalas will inspire you. You can also place a small Buddha and elements found in nature such as conch shells. “Creating a small altar with those objects that inspire each person helps create an appropriate environment for meditation,” advises Curra.

Its lighting is suggestive and invites calm. So he groups several candles on a tray and lights them when you go to sit down to meditate. Even if you have your eyes closed, it will help your mind if you don’t feel too much light in the room. It’s always better to keep it dim.

The smells you smell stimulate the brain. The most recommended for meditation are lavender, chamomile, palo santo or natural incense that induce that state of mental relaxation that you are looking for with meditation.

Play sounds of nature or Tibetan bowls and mantras in the background while you meditate, “they are healing sounds that positively affect the glands and the brain and provide mental and physical health,” emphasizes the yoga teacher.
