Crafting the Perfect Green Space for Meditation

Meditation can be done anywhere. But if there’s one thing you should keep in mind, its the fact that your environment profoundly influences your senses. A cluttered space can naturally cause you to have a difficult time centering or focusing. 

Take a good look around you. Although your altar can instantly be your meditation space, having a surrounding area filled with plants and other natural elements can boost your practice. It can help you feel safe, calm, and peaceful just as soon as you enter the room.

Why Make a Green Space?

Breathing is an essential part of a mindful practice, such as meditation, which makes plants a great deal. Because they are living elements of the earth, they also give out positive cleansing energy to other items such as your crystals. 

Plants can make any space feel alive. Having them near you when meditating can bring you even closer to the life force energy, the Divine.

The Best Plants to Incorporate in Your Home Sanctuary

Peace Lily 

NASA considers peace lilies as one of the top plants that purify and clean the air. Peace lilies are also commonly associated with peace, calmness, and rest, which makes it an excellent plant to incorporate into your home sanctuary.

Lavender

The smell is, by far, one of the most powerful senses that we have as we are easily influenced by something with how they smell. Having a pot of lavender in your meditation space can easily make you feel calm and peaceful as soon as you enter the room.

Plants to Incorporate in Your Home Sanctuary

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is another air-purifying plant that you can incorporate into your home sanctuary. It is also doesn’t demand too much. Regular watering and a sufficient amount of indirect sunlight should keep it alive.

Pothos

Pothos is both an air-purifier and a low-maintenance plant. It is also a fast-growing plant that gives out new leaves almost every week if it is given the right requirements. Pothos is an invasive climbing plant that you can utilize as a filler or a hanging ornament to achieve a greener space instantly.

When finding plants for your home meditation space, it’s also essential to identify where light is coming from. The brightest light comes from south-facing windows, and only the lowest light comes from north-facing windows. If your window is north-facing, you might want to reconsider the type of plants to put in the room.
