I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who has a creative and inquisitive mind and who supports my blogging endeavors and other work. Occasionally he offers some very definite opinions about them.
For instance, he thinks I should have a cool and catchy name for my blog. (I suppose 'Willa White's Blog' is a bit plain-Jane, but it works for me, for now.)
My hubby has suggested many possible names --- sparking off some very interesting and humorous discussions. But yesterday, during one of his blogname brainstorming sessions, he asked, "What do you call the place you go when you meditate?"
"My reading room," I replied dryly. He said, "No, the place. Like nirvana. Like a heavenly space." He paused and then with great excitement he declared, "Meditation Station."
Now, I'm not quite ready to call my blog "Meditation Station", but I love his suggestion of what to call the place we go to in meditation. And more importantly for you blog readers, his suggestion has inspired me to write a blogpost about it.
Whether it is a physical space or an astral space, having a meditation station is important to the regular meditator.

- candles
- incense
- crystals
- visual representions of a spiritual figure (pictures, sculptures)
- music
- flowers
- meditation beads
- books
- personal journal
- floating in cosmic consciousness
- a white sand beach next to aqua blue water
- a bench in a lush garden of flowers
- a tropical waterfall
- flying in the sky
- running with wild horses
Whether you create an elaborate zen den for yourself or keep it simple, the possibilities are infinite!
