The 10 Best Places to Meditate

Meditation is a very effective way to get inside your head and answer questions that just boggle you. Ideas become scarce in a few places, but abundant in a few. So where are these places? I’ve decided to compile a list:

1. The Shower.

Studies show that a huge amount of endorphins are released while at the shower. This means ideas just flow the same way water flows from your head through your chest. Having that private and limited space removes all distractions and provides you with much clarity. Alienation also plays a key role.

2. The Bus Station.

When you start living in a place where you don’t have that many relatives or friends, bus stations are just perfect for meditation, Sure you won’t have the space you need, but the fact that you’re alienated from everyone else, unless you’re a social person, will make the bus station just right.

3. The Bus.

When you hop in the bus, not only are you alienated from the people in the vehicle, but the fact that the vehicle is in constant motion provides you with a feeling as if you were in a trance. Gradually changing scenery means flying images, and this can stimulate your mind the way some video games do.

4. The Church.

It’s obvious that the Church is perfect for meditation. Believing in a high power and knowing that this high power is in close contact gives you a feeling of security, as if everything’s possible.

5. The Bank.

Banks are just cozy. I sometimes go to banks just to leech free air-conditioning and get some peace. It’s amazing how banks are really silent and that seeing long lines perpetually moving puts you in a trance-like state.

6. The Seashore.

The sound of the waves crashing in is ancient music. Thanks to evolution, we’ve learned to love water. The breeze is also an added bonus.

7. The Pool.

Like being in the shower, water has a way of making us think deep. The immersion thing also lets us feel a very light embrace that’s comforting.

8. The Clinic.

When you’ve got a good hynotherapist, the clinic’s perfect.

9. The “Your Room”

Being in a place where everything’s under your control is probably the best place to meditate. Just remove all unnecessary distractions.

10. Not The Classroom.

The classroom absolutely sucks. Interacting with others is unavoidable, which just sucks up all your mental money: attention.
