A “sacred space” is simply a space you create that makes you feel connected, safe, and calm. It’s a spiritual space that holds items and tools for your soul to refresh and renew. Start by identifying your space…again, it doesn’t have to be huge. Clutter messes with you physically, mentally, and also spiritually. Make sure your space is clear and feels light. Decorate the space with calming, serene things that refresh you…maybe it’s an essential oil diffuser, a soft lamp or some candles. Make the space inviting so that you’ll want to spend time there each day. Then, bring in a few of your sacred tools – these are personal to each of us. Maybe you have totems or symbols of your belief system. Maybe you read scripture. Maybe you burn incense. Make sure you can easily access whatever tools you might use when you visit your space so that you don’t disrupt your flow every time you need something.
