Close your eyes.

I walked you through this exercise because I want to help you identify your sacred space. We all have that unique place that is ours. Perhaps it is our bedroom, perhaps our sunroom, perhaps an artist nook, or even next to the fire. For me that space doesn’t even exist in my real house, but is a space that I know exists in my soul and heart. That way I can access it at any time. I know exactly how I’m going to feel when I go to that space. I feel warm, at peace and full of creativity. In my home it is my sunroom. Many tears and creative juices and breakthroughs have come out of just being in that space.

Your sacred space is where you find yourself again and again. -Joseph Campbell

Space is incredibly powerful. When we are in that sacred space it allows us to open up, surrender and ultimately connect with God/ the Universe in a bigger way. It is a place of renewal and hope. Each of us needs that space to cultivate and literally “hold the space” for breakdowns and ultimately the breakthroughs in our lives.

Where is your space?

If we do not have a space to retreat to, even if it’s a corner of a room it can cheat us out of powerful breakthrough. Space dictates so much. Space helps us shut off, step into our soul, and connect to our voice. I invite you to create this sacred space somewhere in your world or home and here’s how…

5 Ways to Create a Sacred Space:

CHOOSE NATURAL LIGHT – Light fosters lightness. Being able to see the outside and connect with nature enhances creativity. There is something so soothing about natural light that allows for the soul to open more easily. Bring a comfy chair near a window, or situate a yoga mat in a sun room.

MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL – In a perfect world, our homes are a refection of ourselves, our tastes and pleasures. Make your sacred space beautiful. Beauty is so vital for pleasure and connecting with not only our souls, but the Divine. Hang some art, find some beautiful throw pillows, display fresh flowers, and paint the walls. Make this space scream YOU. Allow this one little space to be the fullest expression of who you are. Take risks and play with decor.

ENHANCE THE SPIRITUAL – Our breakthroughs and ah-ha moments stem from this connection to the Divine. Bring elements into your space that remind you of that connection. Elements that foster vulnerability and awakening of the soul and our true selves. Display paintings that connect you to the grandness of our creation. In my space I have pictures of the ocean, candles, crystals, a cross, icons and sacred books. How can you feel that spiritual connection in your space?

SET UP INSPIRATION – I know that when we are on the road to breakthrough that road is pretty rocky, messy and often times dark. I always say, “It gets worse before it gets better.” So have things around you that remind you where you are going. Set yourself up to be inspired. I have several affirmations and quotes in my sacred space. I have a gratitude journal and pen. Plus, my vision board hangs on the wall. Find things that inspire you and scatter them in that space.

FEED YOUR SENSES – I love incorporating things to stimulate all my senses in my sacred space. I have a diffuser with essential oils going for smelling, I have a water feature or soothing music playing for hearing, I have lots of color and fresh flowers for seeing, textured pillows and blankets for touching, and some dark chocolate for tasting. Allow that sacred space to be for your whole being and enjoy it from every aspect.
