Creating Sacred Space In Your Home
What Is Sacred Space
Creating Sacred Space In Your Home, A sacred space can be used in a number of ways, as long as it is meaningful and enjoyable to you.
This could be taking time out for reading, for writing or journaling, for meditating, drinking your morning tea or coffee, exercise and dance, prayer, calling a loved one, listening to music or a podcast or for doing something creative like knitting or drawing.
It’s about finding some quiet time in your busy day to slow down to do something that brings a little joy to your heart.
We are often so caught up in the busyness of life that we rarely take any time for reconnecting to ourselves.
A sacred space is a place to:
- Get grounded
- Set our intentions
- Relieve stress
- Recharge our batteries
- Practise self-care
- Affirm our worth
- Claim our space
- Be present to ourselves
- Dedicate to our purpose
- Find ourselves again and again
- Bring new energy into our lives
- Connect with our deeper essence
- Meditate and practise mindfulness
- Practise yoga
- Honour and uplift our spirit
- Dialogue with our higher, deeper, Spiritual Self
- Worship God or Spirit
Creating Sacred Space In Your Home
Decide What You Want From Your Sacred Space
Before you begin, think about what you’re seeking and decide how you want to use it. Do you want to:
- Create a private sanctuary for meditation and prayer, or simply for quiet reflection?
- Find serenity while you’re at home?
- Call up the same peaceful feeling when you’re away by visualizing your home space?
- Designate a shared space for connecting with others, or for ritual or ceremony?
- Co-create a family altar that continually evolves with spontaneous contributions from each of you?
- Deepen intimacy through regular family time in a special place?
How To Set Up A Sacred Space
The first thing to do is find a quiet spot in your home away from communal areas and distractions such as phones, tablets and TVs. What makes your space sacred is the intention you create for it.
You might choose to set up an area in the corner of your bedroom, it could even be a window seat or a large floor cushion that you can go to and bask in the sunshine while drinking tea or meditating.
You might like to display a collection of some personal objects that are meaningful to you, things that have sensory appeal to help you with relaxation.
Some may like to create a small altar which could be on top of a console, a sunny windowsill or a side table. It can be as elaborate or minimal as you like.
Some examples include photos of loved ones, books, a salt lamp, plants or flowers, incense, a diffuser with essential oils, candles, crystals, sea shells from beach holidays, spiritual deities, or beautiful textiles like silk.
Benefits Of A Sacred Space
We don’t need to spend hours in our sacred space to experience the benefits. Even a few minutes of quiet time can help us to build a more balanced relationship with our body, feelings, mind, sexuality and spirituality. Practising mindfulness and meditation in a sacred space can have the following benefits:
- Reduce stress
- Enhance emotional intelligence
- Increase self-awareness
- Develop compassion and kindness towards self and others
- Manage painful thoughts and feelings
- Live a balanced and conscious life
- Experience more peacefulness and calm
- Reconnect with our true selves, others and our environment
- Gain a greater sense of clarity, focus and concentration
