Meditation is for You - an introduction to the science and art of meditation
Make space
Choose a clean, uncluttered, silent space for meditation. If you can, set aside a room in your home as the Meditation Room. If you already have a prayer-room in your home, that would be the ideal place. A space that has already been used for worship or meditation will have high energy level, which will help you meditate better. It is better to meditate in the same place everyday. If the space is indoors, ensure that there is sufficient sunlight and plenty of ventilation. If you are meditating outdoors, say in the garden, make sure that it is a private space where you won't be disturbed by 'garden noises'.
