Many of us are spending more time at home. So much time in fact that we may be getting restless and feel the urge to get away. By creating a ‘sacred place’ in your home you can retreat, meditate, pray or just get away from the rest of the world. Here are a few easy steps to create your space:
Create Your Sacred Space in Five Easy Steps
Choose a small location that is away from a lot of activity such as a corner of a bedroom or spare room. In your chosen space, place a small low table to hold items that are special to you. If you don’t have one, anything will do, even a create or box. Find something comfortable to sit on like a meditation cushion or pillow. The closer you are to the floor, the more grounded you will feel. Place items that you find beautiful or love on your table such as things you collected on a walk-in nature, inspirational quotes, photographs, crystals, or fresh flowers. These items should speak to your soul in a way that is both nurturing and inspiring, and that connects you to your spiritual nature. They may be religious or simply spiritual – they just have to have a special significance for you. Experiment by bringing in different items to see what works best for you, adding or deleting items as you go along.
Once you have claimed your space, make a consistent effort to spend time there. Collect your thoughts, visualize, pray or daydream. There are no rules, it’s your place.
