How to Create a Sacred Space, 5 easy tips.

Creating a special space in your home where you can relax and unwind, feel renewed and connect with yourself is essential for self-nourishment.  When you create a space for quiet reflection you are embraced by a sense of deep healing peace, you get to sit and listen to the quiet whispers of the soul as the ego is silenced.  

Decide what sacred means to you.  Explore your definition of sacred, and spiritual.  This can evolve over time.  

Think about how you want to use the space.  Do you want to do yoga, meditate, find insight in reading inspiring books?  Its your space to nurture yourself.

Setting the intention of sacred space sets the tone of how you come to that space.  There fore if you are unable to dedicate a room, a quiet corner will do just fine. 

Be authentic, and come from the heart as you set up your altar.  Choose objects that mean something to YOU.  Beautiful things that fill you with joy and connect you to your soul; and beauty, remember, is in the eye of the beholder.
