bath or sauna. If all else fails then allow a few minutes in nature looking at a flower,
admiring a sunset or just being quiet with your pet.
Even if you just have rolled back from a stressful day - sit down, light a wonderful joss stick and breathe a few conscious breathes. Allow the day just been to release on each out breath. Allow yourself to feel gifted in and by the space you have around you. This will do so much to get yourself into a quieter state and ready for meditation.
The space we choose for meditating needs to reflect the state we are intending - that is - clear mind, clear space - clear thought clean space - still mind, no distracting clocks, loud sounds or music and if possible away from family, noisy kids etc. Tall order maybe for householders, though individuals might not have these distractions.
Awakened Mind Meditation is a brainwave pattern shared by people in all higher states of consciousness regardless of their philosophy, theology or meditation technique.
It can be helpful to place a sign on the door of the room or informing others that you are going to take 'quiet time'.
Some other things you can do in order to help create a meditation space:
Designate a specific and manageable time slot for the practice - a regular time every day creates a positive routine both for yourself and others (to recognise that is YOUR time!) and also to make the mind get 'into the habit'.
Make it realistic - otherwise like New Year's resolutions it will disappear with a couple of weeks - if you are lucky!
Find a room, spot in the garden, or maybe on your favourite lake, river or seashore and dedicate it to the practice. A place where you know you will not be disturbed is best - so one's own property is often the best place to start.
If you feel you would like to light an incense stick or candle that helps create an atmosphere, then do so. The candle can be useful as a meditation technique.
Make sure the light in the room is not too bright as this may become a distraction when endeavouring to concentrate.
A blanket or meditation shawl helps maintain body heat, which can drop considerably whilst in meditation.
You may wish to have an altar, table or area that is able to contain special objects or items that hold significance for you and your commitment to meditate. Such ritual presentation may be helpful in focusing on the object or purpose of meditation.
Some appropriate music may also help set the environment and mood.
A comfortable sitting stool, cushion or position so that the meditating time is undisturbed through discomfort.
Once a space has been designated for the purpose of meditation, it is a good idea to allow this to remain 'sacred space', within the constraints
available. For beginners this is useful to maintain the impetus of regular commitment and focus.
As meditation becomes more of a regular habit and the meditator becomes more adept, a meditation space can be anywhere that is appropriate at any time. For the accomplished meditator the inner and outer distractions become the tools of the meditation experience, as awareness grows of the reality that arises from the meditation experience.
Another useful process to go into is looking around for a meditation course. It is one of the best ways to self improvement you can find. A course in meditation allows you to focus on the meditating, whilst others focus on helping you improve your meditation skills.
However a good resource for everything you may want to know about meditation can be found here and divulges all you need to know about learning to meditate

Each one of us has our own way and means to creating our own sacred meditation space. Our resources and circumstances will dictate these things. There is really no right or wrong way to enter meditation, save the complete dedication, willingness and intention to know the Self through contemplation, observation, awareness, concentration and acceptance of how we are in this moment - with all the flaws and imperfections that make us who we are.
This acceptance goes a long way in creating a truly meditative space that then can begin to fill....
