om at home.

by victoria comment

i thought since we seem to be staying at home for another month or so, it might be helpful to create a space like this one above from el ramla hamra for a little self-care. whether it’s simply a place to repeat some daily affirmations so you can make it through the day, or some simple breathing exercises, a calming space is really quite coveted these days. so if you’ve got a little corner you can carve out, a place in your garden, or if you’re really lucky, an extra bedroom you can take over i think it’s a great time to try a little at-home yoga, or meditation if that’s your jam. i’m trying to practice meditation, and it does take some time to get it right, but i find just breathing deeply for a few minutes can calm me right the heck down. staying off twitter helps, too right now — if you know what i mean. too much information is overwhelming for me, especially when it starts to get nasty. so we’re going for some ‘om at home’ instead — let the rest of the world fight this one out.  i just need some peace and positive vibes, please.

there are all sorts of online resources for you to find some guidance on meditation and yoga practices — goop was hosting some online classes on instagram, and i see mala collective has free instructional video and audio courses. if you’ve not seen’s bri’s new presently, those videos are super soothing to watch. so to get you in a cozy headspace i’ve hunted down some meditation cushions, yoga mats and even some room dividers and curtains if that helps you close off a small space for yourself. that’s all you really need — throw down a soft area rug, some throw pillows, dim the lights and burn some candles — sometimes just the act of creating something for yourself is as important as the result. namaste, my friends. we got this!
