Meditation: Building a Blissful Meditation Garden by Radhakrishnan Gurudas
One of the best things about meditation is that it can be practiced anywhere. Home, office, flights or even in a garden. Meditating in a garden? Well why not? Whether it is a small space in the city, or a large area in the country side, a meditation garden is perfect to relax anytime and meditate.
So the obvious question now is how do you go about building a meditation garden? First up you need to find the right spot. This can be anywhere on your property. If you are short on space then you could consider a spot where you can do intensive planting. You can do this by double digging the areas where you want your trees and shrubs to be planted. This just means that when you are digging a hole in the ground you need to dig to a depth that is twice the length of your spade. This allows you to place your plants close together making room for more. Apart from that, you can have a mixture of organic fertilizer inside the hole with plenty of room for the roots to grow and for the water to drain.
Some people experiment with their meditation garden by adding numerous features like a gazebo, small ponds, pathways, park benches, or trellises with flowery vines to the landscape. Basically a meditation garden is place of personal solace. So adding highlights is a matter of personal choices really. A meditation garden should be a reflection of your own idea of peace and happiness as it is meant to be your very own personal space.
There are many sites online that offer different themes to build a meditation garden on. The Japanese style for a meditation garden is very popular. It is popular because rather than focusing on the symmetry of the landscape it focuses on the natural contours and shapes of the land. There are several principles involved in the Japanese style of a meditation garden; perhaps the most important is the meigakure (may-gah-koor-ay) which means being hidden from sight. This is what gives the Japanese style of a meditation garden its mysterious quality.
If you prefer a meditation garden that is based on the qualities of a particular season then there are several websites that offer themes and designs for each season
Some gardens though are perfect for any climate or season. The reason being, these gardens embrace different elements like a rock, wood or water and create a soothing blend. However an abundance of greenery is always the best for a meditation garden because nature motivates and inspires us to connect with our inner selves more easily by stirring our deepest emotions and feelings
A meditation garden is a place that is meant to enhance and support the mediation process. It is a place where the elements of nature blend in with the elements of the soul in an intimate embrace.
