Having a home meditation space is a great way to stay inspired to take a moment for yourself. We all know the saying, 'Out of sight out of mind.' Visual reminders can be a powerful motivator. And as it's in our home, we want it to reflect who we are. A meditation space can be whatever you want it to be. It can start small, and grow as you do in your own personal journey.

When using a mantra, it's believed that only the positive intentions and actions will fill your mind and eliminate negativity. A mantra can be as simple as the word 'love,' something you are thankful for, or a phrase such as 'om shanti, shanti, shanti' which represents all encompassing peace. You can also meditate on an affirmation, such as 'I accept myself.'
