Time for Zen Ideology
Your meditation practice can be improved through comforting surroundings and thoughtful design details, which you can achieve in your own home.Meditation is a great way to do just that, through focusing, breathing and clearing your mind. A home should always be a place of calm, soothing feelings, an oasis in the middle of a hectic world. You surround yourself with objects you love, colors that make you feel blissful and family photos that bring back happy memories.
