If you are reading this then you probably want to know how to create your very own 'Sacred Space aka Alter. You're also probably thinking, what is a 'Sacred Space' and why do I need one?
A Sacred Space is an area within your home that you can visit when you need to pray, meditate, manifest or recharge your energy. It is a space where you can beautifully display all the precious things that bring you joy, motivation and love. Why do you need one? Because intention is everything. You may feel at peace in your bedroom, in the shower or when relaxing in your living room, but a space like this can lack the intention and awareness that you can gain from having a specific 'Sacred Space'.
Ok, so now you're probably wondering, how do I create one and what do I need?
Firstly you want to choose a room where you want to create this space, somewhere you feel most at peace, for me it's my bedroom. Once you have decided where, decide why, why do you want to create this space? What is the purpose or intention. I chose mine to represent peace, prosperity and purpose. I use my Sacred Space when I feel upset, overwhelmed or when I need reminding of my purpose and ambitions.
Secondly, what will you need?
Collect any significant items that bring you comfort, inspiration or joy. This could be a piece of jewellery, Crystals, A book, Vision Board, Trinkets, Photos, Plants, Incense, Candles, Journals, anything that you connect with on a spiritual level. You can place all of these items on a desk, on a chest of drawers or in a glass cabinet, in your chosen environment. For me I have my crystals, Singing bowl, Palo Santo, Candles, Vision Board, Photos and a few plants all beautifully placed on top of my bedroom cabinet. Use this space as a place to retreat when you need recharging, motivating or simply need to find a moment of peace and self connection.
A Sacred Space can be used to honour the past, present and future. Photos can be used to honour people or memories that bring you joy, Vision Boards can be used to remind you of your purpose and you are the representation of the present. Having this space is a beautiful way to collate and celebrate life and self in all moments.
You have you Sacred Space, now what?
USE IT!!!
Use this space as a tool to help you ground yourself, evolve and pause.
Light your candle, burn your incense, take time to acknowledge the things that bring you happiness and joy, practise gratitude, pray, manifest, or use it as a safe space to do some introspection.
Is there anything else you need to know?
Yes! Always cleanse your space with Incense or Sage, this will remove all stagnant energies and keep your space sacred and purposeful. Make this process exciting, go through some old things that hold meaning, buy yourself some new things, get that vision board made, or collect things that represent your goals, ambitions or purpose! This should be a super fun project that gifts you a little 'me time' and allows you to focus on yourself, intentionally.
Peace & blessings,
