Do you have a special place in your home for quiet and relaxation?

Having a place in our homes for quiet contemplation allows us to make space for stillness and rest in our everyday lives. When we have a place that is dedicated solely for the purpose of calming our minds, we automatically respond to it with a feeling of relaxation. Just knowing that we have such a place is often enough to make us feel much more content about our life. By creating a place for reflection, we give ourselves the gift of tranquility.

Hello dear Pose. The bedroom in the house is the best place in my home for relaxation and quietness. When I feel tired and sleepy, it is the very place where I go. We need to have one such place for us..., especially when we are tired of being in a noisy place.

Hello again, dear Pose. I am also glad to tell you that my apartment has a flight of stairs to go to the top of the building where a pavilion is built for us to use. This is also a nice place for me to enjoy myself by viewing those beautiful sights near and far. I love to watch those mountains in the distance and the trains passing by close to the railway station in the city and those street shops doing business down the street if I want to see the outside world outside my apartment...

Hi williamjisir, Many people chose the bedroom but other do have a special place, just a small room where they do nothing but sit in silence or meditate. It isn't even a place where thy read, although a few do read in these places.Sometimes a person will just listen to the silence. Thanks for your comment. Blessings.

That was nicely spoken. My place for reflection and quiet times is the back porch area. I love nothing more than to take a coffee out in the early morning and watch the wildlife come to life.

How I wish Pose I have such a place, maybe when I build a new house, I'll see to it to have one. Though the bedroom is the place we run if we need a space for us to breath out our sighs or to have our minds rested or as you said a place for reflection or having a tranquility, I also go out to our yard on early evenings, sitting at the benches there while breathing with the fresh air around. The place is so quiet, having the neighbors already at their beds, so I reaaly felt much relaxed.

It would be my room the only place where I can relax the only place where I can have my privacy , the only place where I can login to my pc without my mom annoying me, the only place where I feel alone and just do anything I want the only place that gives me comfort, the only place that I cant think clearly , the only place I love and that is my room my friend.

There used to be some place. In the serenity of my study and all. but now life seems so much disturbed, it is no longer there.

I usually go outside my house since my property is surrounded by a creek and take the time to meditate by listening only to nature sounds.

My bed is the most quiet place for me and I do a lot of contemplation there. It's the one place where few will interrupt me.
