Bitch, Make Your Own Meditation Space!

When ya gunna exorcise that Vagas Nerve!

Y'know...

Meditate!

Well Ima Make a Space,  a Meditation Space!

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...G!

Let's not concentrate on all the spazzy things going on in the world..

Inside & outside our personal circles...

Just like we all Make time for brushing our teeth...

We should be Making time to Meditate!


In our Attic there's a sweet lil spot that would be perfect for a Peaceful Space!


It's pretty basic, one laddery staircase, & landing that separates two spacey spaces...

One side we will need for some small storage & our nifty antenna for the tvs...


I made sure that it was all dust free first, then started with my base layer of cozy...

Rugggggggggggggggs!


And of course I will need surfaces for the candles n incense...

There's my lil green Travel Meditation Kit....


Some Yoga, Reading, Meditation, Quiet Time....

Sigh...

Oasis!


Before landing, with some storage under...

So Plain...  

Where's my Gypsy Soul...?


MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm...

Layers!


Rainbows, Boho Round Towel & Bouquet greet me as I climb...


And the best indication that you've cultivated a relaxing energy...

Your Kitteh hangs out there with Maximum Approval!

Gather up some Pillows...

Candles, Incense, Blankets...

Find a Nook to Cozy...

Make Meditation Part of Your Day!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXOX

Love you, Love the Breath you Breathe... Quiet that Monkey Brain!

My March Madness



Madness! 

Madness I tell you!

And it has nothing to do with Basket Ball...

We are 7 weeks in to living in our new home!

So Many Discoveries are being made & are yet to be made!


My Peaceful Space

In the Attic Nook...

Still in Progress...

Where I can sit & process all of my processes...


The Cat chooses other spaces...

Surprise...?


And sits he does...


Finally hanging the Mirror Menagerie...


And the TableScapes in the Studio...


Tackling the teeniest of details!

How???


Large Plates!

Hide all the crannies!!!!!!


Wood Cuts from our Wedding Tablescapes, & Plate Wall!

I set them out on the table to judge the arrangement & size everything up...

Quirky and Rustic!



Next to hang ALL the Mirrors!!!


And there are visions in the woods!

Sounds in the wind!

Textures in Every Direction!!!


Queen Tree!


Walking and Staring into Space is now my fave!


Sometimes you find pretty things...

And Sometimes you find things to take care of...


Sinking in some stones...

I keep finding fab slabs of rock on the property!


Drawing up Plans & Making the Lists of Needs!

Lets Landscape!


Balancing this all out with at least the thoughts of spending a day in Deep Couch City!

My Creative Energy is Surging!

Got to keep it goin!

Make some Spaces!

Make some Discoveries!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Make Your Own Travel Meditation Kit! O~M~Shanti!

Get outta town!

No Really... 

If your headed out on Holiday, Vacation, Wanderlust Vision Quest, etc...

Don't leave Your Practice behind!!!

It took you this long to get used to sitting still...

Y'wanna wreck all that progress...? I didn't think so.

Take it with you!


Hello! Easy Peasy!

Here's how I Put together my "NamaStay~or~Go" Kit ;-D


I dug out this old shabby jewelry box that I have had, gutted (in the past), & am now sizing up to see what can/will fit inside it.

I knew there was a reason why I saved all those old containers & tins...


I found some fun pics, inspirations, and quotes that felt right up my Meditation Alley!
*Thank you Pinterest! <3

I printed out the pics, & started fitting (shoving) them into the box top & bottom.

Here's where you get out your Hot Glue Gun!  Wo0t! 

In Retrospect I would have probably enjoyed the process more if I used really thin Glue Dots.

Less Hot, More Time to Place without worrying how fast it hardens... and the sequins I used for the borders here warped with the heat... not a bad effect tho... makes them look like metal, not plastic.


Close up... I think this suits me just fine :-)

Shabby Gypsy = Happy!!!


With everything in its place...


Now to Make things Pretty!

I had a bunch more inspo pics that I stuck in a grid.

I cut 'em to fit & wrap around, and took some plain old clear packing tape to stick 'em on & Boom!

I could have used a decoupage medium to stick & seal them...

But who has time to wait for it to dry??? ;-)


My Incense & Tea Lites are safe & sound in these cases!

Each box of Incense holds 30! I could burn 4 at a time & have 30 meditation sessions!!!

The Tin with Tea-Lites holds 11, and there's one Tea-Lite in the holder...

12 Tea-Lite Candles 4hr burn time = 48hrs of Ommmmmmmm!

If I sit for 30mins at a time that's 96 sessions!

Twice a day, yup, 48 days! Sweet!!! 


11 Candles!!!!


Don't forget the Crystals

Sometimes these pretty lil Rocks are just that...

Pretty. 

If your into that stuff or not, Meditation is good for you! So Do it!

Anyway, I put a Bear on the Lighter that will be traveling in this kit with a lil inspo pic and packing tape! YaY!

Why Not! ;-)


Comin along well so far...


One of my Favorite things!!!

If you need to calm down, & its not always easy to do...

Rescue Remedy is your new BFF!!! 

The spray is my go-to, 2 spritz under the tongue, no side effects, won't make you tired or wired. 

Just mellow.

GOOD VIBES ONLY!!! 


OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


THIS IS IT! In Action!!!

I snuck in a Tin of White Sage Leaves which I NEVER go without in or out of the home!

It's touted as a Spiritual Cleanser, I use it to clean the air & it smells nice ;-)

I like it loose & not in bundles bc it's easier to light, let smoke, and make sure it's all out & finished burning.

You are Playing with Flammable Materials here ppl!

Best policy is when disposing of ashes make sure they are totally finished burning, wet them if you have to. Dry off Kit Components, & put them back in the box. Safe & Sound!

Never Leave Lit Incense or Candles or Sage Unattended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pretty lights..... Ommmmmmmm..... Relaxing....


Even if you're just camping in the living room...

NamaSTAY or GO!

#StealYourMoments !!!

Put on some Madonna Om Shanti

Make a Meditation Kit,

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO
