This is where I usually meditate.
The table was made by a local craftsman who used a piece of mahogany my deceased brother Greg gave me over 30 years ago. We call it Greg's memorial table.
In front of the table are my Zafu meditation cushion and a prayer rug made by my husband Bill's father.
On the table are two photos. One of my deceased daughter Francesca, and one of my son Thomas and his little family.
Not shown is a meditation shawl brought back to me from India by a dear Yogi friend.
I have several other places where I can meditate which I shall show in future posts. My husband calls our home, Beryl's Monastery.

Beryl,
Thank you for sharing such a personal space with us. What a beautiful place you have created to meditate and connect with God. It inspires me to carve out a special place (other than my desk) where I too can be with Him. I believe it is so important not only to find that special space but to also be intentional about making the time to be close with God. Sunday worship is a great place to begin each week but in our relationship with Him he calls us to do more...Thanks and blessings to you for encouraging us with this spiritual focus.
Beryl,
I hope you remember Zeuss, he and I have a morning ritual that we share: he is my shadow, so he is always close at foot(unless he downstairs checking on a guest :)
When I am ready I look him direct in the eyes and say "you ready???" and we both run to my bed, jump on it and I hold him, yep all 60 lbs of him on my lap and I say my morning prayers, he may be the only dog that says morning prayers!!!
I don't know how he would fit under your beautiful table, tho!!!
I love to think of Zeus leaping into bed with you to pray.
We had a beloved fat cat, Ellie, who used to sit on Bill’s lap whenever he meditated. She was not a lap sitter at any other time. When Bill wasn’t home she’d find me an agreeable substitute.
