Creating a Sacred Space at Home
One of the most impactful things you can do for yourself in your own home is to establish an area dedicated to sacred space.
What exactly is a sacred space? It's personal to you. It starts with honing in on what you currently need in your life. Is it a space you intend to visit daily or maybe once a week? Take a moment to ponder what elements you can incorporate into a space that you encounter daily, reminding you to stay connected with yourself and the divine.
The first step is selecting an area that can be kept undisturbed by pets and children and free from clutter. You don't want to mix work or paperwork with your sacred tools and space. If you're tight on space, consider a corner or underutilized piece of furniture. Remember, your sacred space can take any form that resonates with you. What inspires you? What motivates you? What brings you a sense of calm?
In my own sacred space, I like to incorporate elements such as white candles, dried herbs for burning, crystals, and a sound component. It's not always the same, and I don't always use the same spot, but I ensure that I always feel connected with the new space. I rely on items I already have in my home because they bring me joy and peace. There's no need to go out and buy something special. Compile items that resonate with you.
Consider incorporating items that engage your sense of sound, like singing bowls, drums, and bells, as well as items that engage your sense of smell, such as incense, dried herbs, or essential oils. You can also include your most recent vision board, a gratitude jar or journal, and even a beloved fabric or scarf.
Don't forget to take a few minutes as often as you can, preferably in the morning before your day starts or after work when you feel disconnected.
