location/environment for meditation

3 posts in this topic

I'd like to hear how/where individuals meditate? In bed? On your floor in your room? Outside? In your car?

Also, 

Does anyone use any form of shrine or routine sensory support (music, incense, crystals, etc.).

Hi, interesting question. Depends on what you include as meditation, but for me I do this: 
* sitting meditation - cross legged on the floor in the bedroom (with cushions & a blanket to get comfortable)
* walking meditation (occasionally) - indoors anywhere
* daily life mindfulness is in whatever I'm doing at the moment.

I have some joss sticks and a couple of singing bowls for sensory support, though I only use them occasionally. Plus I sometimes bow after the sitting meditation. Also a Buddha statue, though I don't use that so often anymore as I'm more eclectic in my inspiration now. If I'm out travelling somewhere I will try to do my sitting meditation on the train/plane etc (looking like I'm asleep). 

How about you?
