Our homes should be oases of calm where we can retreat to from the hectic world we live in. But that’s easier said that done, especially since every corner of the house stands as a reminder of something we didn’t quite get to yet; whenever we walk past our desk, weâre being reminded that thereâs work left to be done and bills to be paid; when we enter the kitchen, we may be reminded that we forgot to cook dinner so we should probably order some takeout⦠again!
But what if you had a place in your house completely devoted to chasing away stressful emotions? A space with comforting surroundings where you can clear your mind â a meditation corner.
There are no specific rules for creating one, but first, choose a space that simply feels good. You need to make sure that itâs constantly clean and uncluttered, and you may also want to account for lighting, depending on what time of the day you want to meditate.
Once you’ve decided on it, all that remains is for you to decorate and personalize your meditation corner. And weâve got you covered here! Check out the following meditation items and choose the ones thatâll help you transition into a quiet mindset. Namaste!
Meditation pillow

Whatâs best about creating a meditation corner is that you donât need expensive stuff, but you do need comfort. This meditation zafu will allow you to maintain perfect posture during your practice, by propping your hips up higher than your knees. If you donât feel comfortable enough, you can easily remove some of the pillowâs filling.
If you already have an old meditation pillow, consider making it brand new by changing its cover. We personally love this one.
Tibetan singing bowls
