Hello, my lovelies! I had so much fun making my own meditation tent that I thought I'd share it with you! I get so distracted by everything around me that I needed a cozy space in my apartment where I could be completely focused on meditating and vision work. Sooo... I created this little nook.
I made these amazing drawings for you... (ok, they aren't so hot, but I tried), so you can make one yourself!
I took a hula-hoop and tied two sticks in a cross shape to it with strings (as tightly as I could). Next I tied more strings from each connecting point and tied them up at the top in a loop so it would hang from the ceiling. Then I drilled a hole in the ceiling where I would be hanging it and nailed a stud in. I then screwed in the screw hook firmly. If you don't use a stud your hook won't be strong enough to hold the weight of your tent. Then I took all my scarves and wrap-around skirts and tied them to the hula-hoop and made a tent shape at the top part.
That's pretty much it for the basic tent!! Then I went crazy decorating the inside with cozy blankets and pillows, added a salt lamp, some scrying mirrors and some crystals hanging from the cross at the top. I also added a star projector thingy I have that is meant for projecting stars up on the ceiling, but instead I hung it from the top pointing down! I love it! It feels very magical inside, and I lose track of time entirely. The mirrors are a good idea if you do any kind of vision work. Mine are two large mirrors joined together with hinges and stand up in the tent.
James was fooling around and made this image below, which was inspired by another image he saw :) For more fun things go visit his website (here). So cute! I thought I would include it in this post too. Hope you like it!

I had been looking for an hour for something I had seen in an import store once. It had been too expensive for me at the time. It was an Indian hanging circular tent. Searching for hanging canopy-bed canopy- hanging tent etc etc just brought up mosquito netting or kids play houses. Then this came up. This is exactly what I wanted a hanging meditation space. Thank you. I may try making my own.
Be Well,
Berta
