When designing your sacred space, consider all your senses: What helps you feel calm, comforted, and at peace? Before you begin a therapeutic session in your sacred space or spiritual center, perform a quick cleansing ritual to clear and refresh the energy of the room. Remember, your life on the outside is a reflection of your life on the inside, so if the space feels cluttered, it’s a sign that you’re juggling too many things and need to slow down the hectic pace of your life. A room closed off from the rest of your home and the world keeps out the noise so you can concentrate on being the real you. The impact of that spot was the difference between going through the motions and building that true connection.Ĭreating a sacred space gives you the chance to communicate with your higher self. Every time I went back to that spot, I felt my mind, body, and spirit connect. Deciding that the area would be my sacred space was the turning point in my practice. It was my go-to spot for decompressing the mind, body, and soul. I noticed that, over time, that energy was building. Then, I found one spot that I realized I kept wanting to return to. I used to meditate all over the place in my home. It doesn’t have to be ornate.įor me, I always need something physical, so that I can retrain myself. Whatever relics, crystals or sacred objects you place in this space will hold that energy for you. It triggers your mind to feel soothed the moment you enter that space because it subconsciously recognizes it as a space of relief. Over time, when you go to the same place to do prayers, meditate, or do whatever healing work that speaks to you, there’s an energy that builds up. For some people, that may mean creating a sacred altar, while for others it might just be a meditation pillow in a peaceful area of your home, or a spot outside that feels tranquil to you. Creating a sacred space is just about dedicating a specific area to the rejuvenation of your spirit. You don’t need a spare room to make some grand sacred space in, either. In particular, your sacred space should serve as the place where you leave behind the chaos of the world and go inward to heal and restore the mind-body-spirit. Every room in your home should feel special and comfortable for your lifestyle and needs, a basic guideline for optimal living and well-being. As Coco Chanel once said, “An interior is the natural projection of the soul.” While it doesn’t hurt if the decor and furnishings are beautiful and striking, the most important aspect of a sacred space is how the energy feels. It’s common knowledge that interior design can affect your mood and well-being. A sacred space may not appear on traditional blueprints, but having a place where you can go to connect with yourself and the Earth is as crucial as any other room in your home.Ĭreating a sacred space will also help to enhance and support any healing therapies such as meditation, yoga, journaling, and the like. That’s why I’m shocked at how many homes I see where the residents have decorated each room to a tee, but haven’t designated a single spot in the home to only their spirit. Our homes are a reflection of our spirit. I love noticing the art they showcase, the trinkets they’ve brought back from travels and the unique sense of style they’ve tapped into to create this place that their soul can call home. Even if you’ve known someone for years, seeing their space for the first time is like getting to see a whole new side to them. As someone who was once a real-estate agent and Feng Shui consultant, I’m always fascinated when I get to enter a home that I’ve never been in before.
