Do you have a sacred space in your home to nuzzle yourself into and feel safe? Well, if you do not, that is okay. I lived day to day as a wife, mother, and woman with no sacred space to call my own for a long time. We all need a sacred space to disengage mentally from the day.
What is a Sacred Space, you ask? It is a space made for you to find comfort and solace.
A Sacred Space makes you feel safe calm and holds space for your self-care. Self-preservation is vital and having a sacred space to dwell in is comforting to the spirit.
Begin by reflecting on what brings you joy and comfort. What makes you feel safe? You will fill your space with self-care in mind.
Here are ways to use your space:
-Journal
-Reading
-Meditation
-Reflection
-Resting
-Prayer
-With Intention
-Drink herbal tea
-Goal Setting and Manifestation
-Listening to music
-Bible Reading
-Affirmations
-Add Fresh Flowers
In my personal space, I light an incense or palo santo to clear the area of stagnant energy, and sometimes I will turn on my diffuser and fill it with aromatic essential oils. I have a sacred space in my home with my favorite velvet blue wing back chair, displayed closely by the window. I keep my favorite blanket nearby. I love the natural lighting; having a sacred space where I can view nature outside is therapeutic.
Next to the chair, I have a four-cubed storage organizer. On top of the unit, I have a Himalayan Sea Salt lamp. I have my favorites books and magazines. I have an indoor houseplant, and I keep a journal in my space with my deck of angel oracle cards. Lastly, I keep some of my memorable keepsakes from my travels, like crystals, rocks, and figurines that have meaning to my life.
Creating a space like this is therapeutic; you find peace. A dedicated space is wellness for the soul. How comforting to go somewhere else besides your bed to see all your favorite things that bring you joy.
