Tranquility-Enhancing Essentials For A Personalized Meditation Space

Sit in silence…and style! Transform any corner of your home into a dedicated yoga and meditation space that brings out the calm within.

You don’t necessarily need products to meditate or practice yoga. You really only need three things: time, inclination, and a quiet place to sit. That said, cultivating your own space with peace-promoting objects can definitely help you maintain a consistent meditation or yoga practice.
“Much like an encounter with the refrigerator conjures thoughts of food, and a glance at the couch invites a comfortable sprawl, catching sight of your meditation seat in a sanctified space will evoke your deepest yearnings and inspire you to do your practice,” writes Sandra Anderson, co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics.
So what do you need to transform a room, nook, or empty corner of your house into a sacred space for meditation or yoga?
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Seat of Your Soul Buckwheat-Hull-Filled Meditation Cushion
This meditation pillow will align your body and cushion your behind, allowing you to sit longer in comfort. Even better, it’s all natural. The cover is certified-organic cotton, while buckwheat hulls make up the entirety of the filling. Pick your ideal size and color.
