Right now, we all need somewhere we can unwind and relax when we leave the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Even if you’re working from home, you still need a space you can go to release tension and gain inner peace. How about setting up a relaxation space at home? It’s quick and easy and can be done in five simple steps. 

Declutter your space 

Ensure that the space you choose has enough space for lunging, stretching and appropriate furnishings (we’ll get to those soon). Also, keep the space clean and free of clutter, technology or anything that would disturb your peace. So, a small space under the stairs, or on the veranda, in the living room or on a large step landing are good choices for your relaxation spot. 

Set up proper lighting and have good views 

Good lighting is needed for a good relaxing period. You’d be surprised how much more relaxed you feel when you have natural light coming in through a window. You can also use special bulbs in lamps that mimic sunlight, such as Halogen bulbs, which are a variation of incandescent. They give the closest approximation of natural daylight, known as “white light.” Views are just as important. If your meditation space is facing a busy street or a noisy neighbour this can affect how well your body relaxes. Choose a space that has views of trees outside, the sea, mountains, the sky or even your garden outside.
