Transform your space
Establishing a nurturing, dedicated space to support your home practices might be easier than you imagine. With just a few simple steps, you can turn your space into a sanctuary for deeper self-reflection.
Dedicated Space:
- You can create a commited space for your sadhana that is solely dedicated to this purpose
- Avoid using this space for any other activities to maintain its sanctity
Setup:
- If you have a yantra or sannidhi, use it in the space
- If not, set up the commited space with a picture, an oil lamp (like a linga jyoti), and a daily offering of a flower
Transforming the Space:
- Your sadhana has the power to transform the space
- The commited space is a tool to help you look inward, and as your inner self shines, the space becomes more sacred
Maintaining the space:
- Always keep an oil lamp burning to maintain the energy
- Place a raw silk cloth, undyed and unprocessed, beneath the picture to enhance the vibrations
Enhancing Energy Efficiency:
- You can cover the walls or partitions of your sadhana space with loose raw silk material
- This creates a cocoon of energy, making it easier to enter a meditative state
Flexibility in Practice:
- While it is beneficial to create a conducive atmosphere, meditation can be done anywhere
- Hatha Yoga can be practiced even in challenging environments, like at an airport, emphasizing the importance of consistency over perfection in the setup
Investing in a dedicated, energy-efficient space for sadhana can greatly enhance your practice. However, don’t let the absence of a perfect setup prevent you from meditating—do it wherever you are.
