What is a Meditation Chamber and How does it Help?

People often use meditation as a means to rejuvenate their body, mind and souls. Meditation is a form of exercise or concentration technique that requires very few external props, all it essentially needs is the individual and his [or her] concentration ability. But more often than not, people wish to use special spaces assigned for meditation. What was previously confined to just a quiet corner or a shaded spot has now progressed to specialized meditation chambers. Meditation chambers were where Jedis or a Sith could meditate to enhance their powers with the Force, an idea that has percolated into the modern way of thinking as well.

Define that space, it could be a corner of the room or even an unused closet. The only pre-requisite is that you should be able to sit in it comfortably. Set your space there and put up images or decorative items that calm you like cotton curtains or

specialized beads or comfortable ethnic cushions or books about meditation. You can also store candles, meditative music, calming scents and pictures of deities you worship.

Thus, it trains the mind to be receptive of natural energies in that environment. Patients who find it difficult to focus or visualize certain images essential to meditating, find it easier to do so in the chamber. With the help of auditory stimulus on the form of meditative sounds and music, the patient / meditator finds it easier to focus on sound, and turn these stimuli inward and focus on what is happening inside their head. It helps reduce focus into ones own head and thoughts. A meditation chamber helps create a focal level for all pent up emotions. This chamber is like a confession area where all the truths come out and the body gets to know itself and prepare itself for its routine. It helps create a schedule for a person to meditate at. Without a designated spot, it is easy for someone to lose way and wander into different arenas while trying to meditate.
