5 Steps to Setting Up Your Meditation/Yoga Space
By: Premadasa Gangadeen
As we move into this year’s fall/winter season, we are gifted with an opportunity to set ourselves up for a period of inner reflection, hibernation and capitulation. This ultimately leads to greater awareness and strengthening of inner-focus and overall well-being. With dedication and fortitude, we can control how we choose to meet the coming spring, a time of renewal/rebirth in the best way possible as the best versions of ourselves. Any unnecessary items taking up space in our lives can and should be shed during this coming winter period provided we give it our appropriate attention. There is an unlimited possibility of options of what we could attract to fill in to this newly-created space. My advice would be to focus on anything that draws in peace, love and joy. If you feel uncertain of what that may be, take some time to be still and quiet to listen and then follow the guidance of your heart. From a practical perspective, I prescribe Yoga and meditation. These techniques and teachings are available and accessible to all throughout so many avenues and they are a simple and effective tool for total health and wellness. One need not start with a goal or desired result or expectation to justify or force a regular practice. The simple act of conducting practice to spend time with and to get to know oneself in a graceful and loving way is more than enough to allow for a natural blossoming benefit for body, breath, mind, intellect and spirit. Start with the basics of any practical technique of your choosing and build it up from there as your practice deepens. Below are five simple steps to observe and support you on your way. Enjoy the journey!
