Today, communication extension by means of digital media mediates among individuals in a completely different way from the physical and psychological environment of the past. In particular, ground-breaking extension of communication methods through intelligent computers and multimedia systems increases multiplicity and diversification by means of mixed experience in both virtual and real spaces. However, real-time individual and social communications via hyperlinks cause problems deepening individual isolation by mobility of egos. Hereupon, the concept and state of virtual spaces to promote sustainable environment and the characteristics of therapeutic meditation space have been analyzed in this study, in order to propose a meditation space as an alternative to self-communication. In addition, need to provide a meditation space for immanent introspection has been derived to overcome the problems mentioned above in a situation where the influence of virtual space is more widely spread. The absence of communication cannot be overlooked even though the concept of meditation space includes that of inner healing, mitigating the individual isolation. The direction of the space where a new way of communication can be done, including the advantages of physical and virtual spaces, will be presented through this exploratory study for a meditation space utilizing media. It is also supposed that the space be utilized as a structural space capable of establishing self-identity.
