Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Zen Meditation Corner
1. Choose the Perfect Spot
First things first, find a quiet corner in your home where you can escape the noise and focus on your meditation. It could be a cozy nook in your bedroom, a corner of your living room, or even a spot in your garden. The key is to choose a place where you feel comfortable and can relax without interruptions.
2. Set the Ambiance
Creating the right ambiance is crucial for your Zen corner. Think soft lighting, calming scents, and soothing sounds. Here are some essentials to consider:

Scents
Aromatherapy can do wonders. Consider using essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus which have relaxing properties that makes your Zen meditation corner even more relaxing. Choose high-quality essential oils, which are devoid of toxins. Best to choose ones that are EWG verified.

Sounds
Soft background music or nature sounds can enhance your meditation experience. Go to Spotify for playlist for meditations or nature soundscapes. My personal favourites are “Meditate by the Ocean” and “Self-Care Vibes” for relaxing music. YouTube also have lots of soundscapes or playlist for relaxation and meditation. I have created soundscapes videos that are my personal favourites like water sounds and fireplace sounds. These always make me feel more at peace.
