❓ How can I create a sacred space for meditation at home?

Creating a dedicated meditation space (puja room or corner) is recommended in the Grihya Sutras. The space should be clean, quiet, and free from distractions.

Essential elements include:

• Eastern-facing orientation if possible
• Clean, uncluttered area
• Comfortable seat or cushion
• Simple altar with meaningful items
• Proper ventilation

Modern research shows that designated spaces for specific activities help train the mind for those activities. Your meditation space should feel peaceful and inviting, encouraging regular practice. Keep electronics and work-related items away from this area.
