“The key to creating a home meditation practice is to create a space where the busyness stops.”
Thích Nhất Hạnh
A dedicated meditation space that is peaceful and comforting can do wonders for your meditation session. To create a peaceful sitting area where you can focus on your breathing, look around your home and notice how each room creates a certain feeling. Our surroundings have a profound effect on how we feel, how we think and how we interact and connect with others. From the furniture pieces to the wall colours, design elements of a meditation space must have a purpose – and that is to support your practice of breathing mindfully. As a luxury aluminium windows manufacturer, we share with you some useful insights on creating a dedicated meditation space where you can pause, breathe and connect with your inner self:
Meditation is an act which is undertaken to bring about feelings of calm and heightened energy and awareness. While the core of meditation is to relax and focus attention, doing so in a non-conducive environment can lead to inefficiency and a lack of focus.
From the constant noise of construction to the sound of cars and honking, it can be difficult to concentrate and relax in such an environment. An enclosed space with noise isolating windows and proper doors can help reduce the noise and promote calmness and peace of mind.
Remember that 90% of external noise enters an indoor space through doors and windows; thus, having the right windows and doors is critical for a conducive meditative environment.
Acoustic glass windows or noise isolating windows, which prevent external noise from entering your home and meditation space, are best suited for meditation’s ephemeral nature. As there are many types of such soundproof windows, check out your nearest Eternia showroom for the one which best suits your needs.
Natural light, cushions, less clutter, calming music, blankets, calming wall colours, and lack of external noise are some of the key elements of the perfect meditation space. Calming wall colours help you relax and get into the mood, a low, calming music is great to focus on when just starting out with meditation, plenty of natural light offers that freshness and energy, including Vitamin D from the sun, and blankets or cushions to help relax before getting into a meditative state.
There are several ways to reduce outside noise in your meditation space. The first is to get soundproof windows and doors to prevent outside sounds from bleeding in, whether they are from cars on the road, animals barking, flights passing by, or the constant sound of construction.
Just with this, you can cut down over 95% of all external noise, for the rest, you can incorporate acoustic panels, sound insulation, and partitions to separate your meditation space from another.
