You might feel like retreating into the comfort of your home today. It could be that recent events have left you feeling slightly unsettled, and you may be seeking solitude in a place where you feel safe. Perhaps today you can learn to deal with these emotions by creating a meditation room or corner in your living space that can be a haven for you when you begin to feel frustrated. You might consider finding something comfortable to sit on and creating an altar with items of personal significance for you. Decorate your space in a way that makes you feel peaceful and relaxed. After you have finished, you can take a few minutes to sit in your space and meditate by imagining yourself wrapped in a cocoon of warm healing light. You may find that the calm you gain by being in this place becomes indispensable to you.

Establishing a space for meditation and reflection in our home helps create calm and serenity in our lives. The outside world is often rushed and demands much of our energy. By creating a nest where the sole purpose is to meditate, however, we have a concrete way to deal with outside pressures. When we meditate in our chosen area on a daily basis, we train our bodies and minds to become calm the minute we sit down. We learn that this is a place for healing and that external concerns can't affect us. Set aside an area for meditation today, and you will always have a place of serenity to retreat to.
