Ostara _ rituals, recipes, & lore for the spring equinox ( PDFDrive )

• If you don’t have any land, try a local park or nature preserve, just look for a
spot that appears to be empty of other people.
• In the spring, a sunny location is probably fine, but in the summer you may
want to move to a shaded location.
• If you are choosing a location inside, make sure it will be peaceful, quiet, and
private.
• Being near a window is fine; just make sure you won’t have the sun shining
right into your face to distract you.
• Make your spot comfortable, whether it’s a dedicated space or just
temporary, make it your sanctuary using pillows, bean bags, blankets, or special
meditation chairs or cushions.
• Depending on what you are comfortable with, you need to decide if you want
to sit or lie down.
• You may also want to add special lighting. Candles, lava lamps, salt lamps,
or colored light bulbs in blue, purple, or lavender will all add to your
environment and add extra layers of peace and spirituality to your practice.
• You may want to add some meditation music to the background to help
create a mood and to help relax you.
• If you are using candles, be sure to practice candle safety. Candles are good
for more than just lighting, they help set a mood. Blue, white, or lavender are all
spiritual colors and they can help you relax. You may also want to use colors
that correspond to your meditation.
• If you have a difficult time relaxing, you may want to try a relaxing bath
before meditating. Also try chamomile tea or some light stretches. Take a few
moments to just sit with your eyes closed and breathe deeply in and out.
These are just a few tips and tricks that should help you get your meditation
practice going. Meditation doesn’t have to be difficult, in fact it’s often easy,
relaxing, and rather fun. Once you get used to it, your meditation time will most
likely become your favorite part of the day.
