In my living room where I practise meditation, I have cultivated a certain energy that I would describe as ‘blown.’ People feel it as soon as they walk in. In fact, they usually don‘t wish to leave and end up reclining on some pillows with dreamy looks on their faces. What is it about this atmosphere that attracts them so much? It is certainly a sense of bliss. This bliss is woven into the fabric of the subtle field there.
I have lived in meditation communities, where the energy is intensely spiritual. People who meditate regularly build a certain atmosphere that is unlike almost any other on earth. The space around them seems to sparkle or shimmer. One simply has to close their eyes in such a place and the consciousness will be transported to states beyond the mind field.
The fact is that you don‘t have to go to a temple or church, or live in a spiritual commune, to experience a meditative atmosphere. By taking certain steps, you can nurture such a quality in your own home. Every time you walk into such a place, you will notice a stillness, and the more meditation that is practised there, the more a calmness will pervade the air.
