That is why most meditation studios are neutral colours or calming colours such as white, beige, light blue or green. Colour healing and colour therapy demonstrates the important and power of the right colours in a room. White can give a sense of purity and open space, certain shares of blue and green are very soothing on the nervous system. Greens tend to help create harmony and balance and can be very grounding.
Clearing The Energy Of Any Meditation Space
Always clear the energy of the meditation space before and after using the space. There is a variety of different ways to clear the space. Some of the most popular ways to energy from a room is by using white sage, palo santo wood, selenite, sound therapy such as sound bowls or bells, essential oils, spiritual commands and prayers.
Creating A Clean Clutter-Free Sacred Space
A meditation room is a sacred space it should be clean and clutter free. That is why you want to avoid a room that has too many visual distractions while having equally a few items or meditation or meditation prompts that will help promote a sense of stillness, harmony and peace. Such as candles, meditation icons, prayer beads, incense burner
Setting up a meditation space at home where space is very limited can simply be a fixed space, small corner in a room that has a nice candle, your favourite incense or essential oils such as frankincense which is used for sacred rituals and is very grounding, and a comfortable meditation cushion or mat.
Choosing The Right Temperature For Your Meditation Room
Make sure the meditation room is at the most temperature for all concerned. Our body temperature tends to lower the more relaxed we become. So if you are holding the meditation space in a cooler country or during winter months it is important to warm the room up before meditation students arrive. Just like considering the right ventilation and air conditioning and low noise fans in warmer places or warmer months. Make sure you ask students to bring a blanket and consider bring a few of your own meditation blankets for spare. It may also be worth considering the type of students who will be using the class such as menopausal women, children, mixed.
Holding The Right Energetic Space
As a meditation teacher it is vital that you can hold the right space. That you are naturally calm and relaxed and are emitting a state of beingness and stillness. That is why meditation teachers tend to be highly experienced meditators who have made meditation a really important part of their daily routine and daily life. Getting into the right meditative space before your meditation students arrives will help you create the right meditative space for your meditation students and clients.
