"Creating a meditation space starts with simplicity," says Michael Brunner of One River Zen. "Find a quiet area free from distractions and let natural beauty guide your design—traditional elements like candlelight and incense can create a calming atmosphere. Use cushions or supports to encourage upright sitting, helping you remain present and fully engaged in the moment." His wife, Vanessa Roddam, adds, "Soft lighting and touches of nature, like a small plant or fresh flowers, bring a sense of life and calm to the space. The goal is to make it inviting and supportive of your practice, allowing the beauty to enhance mindfulness without overwhelming it."
