 Noun
(A holly-coined word)
  1. a sacred space (physical or mental) to call your own.
  2. a special place where you can work un-interrupted , where time slips by , and you get into the state of flow 
  3. a  space to be yourself -  a  room , a humble corner,  a chair , even a niche in one’s closet or a  specific park bench.   Give it your own unique twist and return to it consistently.   
 
“My inspira-zone is an L-shaped table , a comfy chair ,  flanked by books , my daily journals,  a scented candle , family pictures , childish craft ,  (work) laptop,  yoga mat and weights , water bottle ,  music books . 
My inspira-zone contains a little of everything that I am enthusiastic about.   It is here that I come to recharge and create. ”
My days ,  and indeed mindset , transformed when I had the opportunity to develop my small inspira-zone.  Bucket list – check 😊   
 
 What do you consider your very own “inspira-zone” ?  Go on and create it ..... 
 
  What is your own Zen Space?
           For this purpose, you can create your own personal Zen space. This is a space you can build yourself, no matter how much money or resources you have. This is your space, a place where all the noise of your life ceases to exist. For as long as you’re in this Zen space, you’re untouchable.

Corollary : Not only is there an inspira-zone, but also an inspira-time.  A daily little segment when creativity is at its best, ideas abound , and you think faster than you can create.  Listen to yourself.  What works best for you ?  With my thoughts , writing and flow ,  my personal creativity peaks at around mid-day .  Movement has some amazing effects on my brain , while the converse is also true.

Extract from "Die Empty" by Todd Henry 
[ A sacred place] is an absolute necessity for anybody today.  You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day , where you don't know what was in the newspapers that morning , you don't know who your friends are , you don't know what you owe anybody , you don't know what anybody owes you.  This is a place where you can simple experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be.  This is the place of creative incubation.   At first you may find that nothing happens here.  But if you have a sacred place and use it , something will eventually happen .... our life has become so economical and practical in its orientation that , as your get older , the claims of the moment upon you are so great , you hardly know where the hell  you are , or what i t is you intended.   You are always doing something that is required of you.  Where is your "bliss station" ? You have to try  to find it.
