How to Set Up a Meditation Room

Everyone should have a place to relax, do
exercises (yoga is good) or meditate. Or
maybe just get away from everyone and everything; just be by yourself.
This plan gives you a place to experience the senses of sight, sound, and smell.
This would also be a good place for a sensual massage.
This space could be an extra bedroom, a bonus room or an addition especially for the purpose of being a meditation room.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 10x10 or more room with a window
• a meditation mat or cushion
• an indoor wall water fountain
• cd player and meditation tapes
• 2 speakers
• wind chimes and a fan to blow them around
• incense and aroma candles
• aromatic plants

1. 
   meditation room with a window

   Decide where you want the Meditation Room to be. Paint it a soothing color. Try to pick a room with a window, with a pleasant view. If there isn't a nice view; pick a room with a high window on a side where the sun can stream in, with it's soothing warmth.
   Put a wind chime in the window; so that the breezes can blow it around when the window is open. If the window doesn't open place a fan so that it will blow the chimes.

2. 
   indoor water fountain

   Against one wall put a water fall feature. Against the opposite wall set a low table. Incense, infusers or aromatic candles will set on this. In an inconspicuous place setup a cd player and meditation tapes. Put a speaker in each corner, on the walls.
   Place your meditation mat or cusion in the center of the floor.

3. 
   aromatic plant

   On the window wall side place a nice scene of aromatic plants. Different sizes, shapes, colors and heights. Arrange them in an eye pleasing pattern. This will not only be pleasing to the smell and soothing to the eyes; it will keep the air clean and fresh. which is good when you do your breathing exercises.

on 12/1/2008 I don't have the room to create an actual "meditation room", so I followed your steps and created one in my mind! That's one of the benefits of meditation - increased visualization skills. Thanks so much for the extra room in my house!
