Creating Sacred Space

When we enter the sanctuary of sacred space within our own being, we feel safe, loved, at peace, whole  -instead of fragmented. To embody the sacred in your life create a place for the sacred in your environment:
•    Create a sacred space by building a sense of sanctuary in your home, garden or office.  Light a special candle or burn incense that reminds you of an infinite spiritual healing power.
•    Consecrate the space with music, prayer, dance, drumming, chanting or sacred images.  Call upon the help of the Creator, angels, ancestors, healing guides, teachers or spiritual allies.
•    Place a photo or painting of a spiritual teacher or helper in a prominent place.
•    Frame a poem, prayer, or writings from a sacred text.
•    Build a Medicine Wheel, altar or labyrinth (if outdoors).
•    Focus on an inspirational object: a talisman, power piece, or an object of beauty.
