Choose a Quiet Location

Select a place where you are unlikely to be interrupted during your meditation session. This could be a quiet corner of your bedroom, a dedicated meditation space, a peaceful garden, or another comfortable location.

Try to reduce:

• Loud conversations and television sounds
• Unnecessary phone notifications
• Frequent movement around you
• Other avoidable sources of noise

Keep the Space Comfortable

Your meditation area should feel physically comfortable without encouraging you to become overly relaxed or fall asleep.

• Choose a comfortable temperature.
• Use a cushion or meditation mat if helpful.
• Keep the area clean and uncluttered.
• Make sure there is enough space to sit comfortably.
• Use gentle natural light when possible.

Create a Simple Atmosphere

A simple environment can help establish a sense of calm. You may keep a small plant, a comfortable cushion, or another peaceful object nearby. Avoid filling the space with unnecessary decorations that may become distractions.

Manage Digital Distractions

Before beginning, silence unnecessary notifications and place your phone somewhere that will not constantly attract your attention. If you use your phone for a meditation timer, enable a suitable quiet or do-not-disturb mode.
