You can create your sacred space for meditation, prayer or other introspective moments, in any chosen area of your home!

Your sacred space can be a whole room, or a corner of a room, or even somewhere outside in your yard. This should be a space that you can remain undisturbed while you are using it. It is necessary to clear from clutter so it feels good and peaceful to you.

Creating a Sacred Space, is something loving you do for yourself, as it will provide you with a place where you feel safe and trusting so can get to the cause of any anxiousness within you. You will immediately feel inner peace when you enter that space you have created. Your Sacred Space will be filled with inner joy that promotes your healing and the healing of others on all levels.

Your sacred space will be used for self meditation, sending healing energies, prayer, listening to comforting music, guided meditation and/or writing in your journal. Your sacred space is for introspective process, where you will be in tune with your heart and inner joy. It is important that it not be disturbed by outside influences.

You may add a chair or a cushion for your meditation, some crystals (I recommend a clear quartz to begin with as it assists in keeping your space clear from negativity), a candle, or anything in which you find helpful when you pray and/or to connect you to the divine. It really doesn't matter what you choose, as long as it is important to you, because it is just for you.

After you have all your items in place,, you may use a smudging ritual to clear out negativity and to energetically designate this space as sacred.

The smudging ritual involves burning sage (you can purchase sage specific for this purpose at many metaphysical bookstores, whole health stores, or even on line). This shares its roots with incense and is a powerful cleansing technique from the Native American tradition. The idea is that as sage is burned, the smoke transmutes negative energies and thoughts. You do not need to have much smoke, just a little will do along with your intention. It is recommended to have a window open nearby for the smoke to leave. You may declare your space sacred once you have finished smudging.

You may smudge again anytime you may feel that negative energy may have permeated this space. Note: If this is your first time using sage, please be sure to read the instructions on the package carefully. Also, please remember to practice safety with anything you may burn, whether it is sage, incense and/or a candle.

Your space is now sacred! Celebrate by meditating, and then give thanks for your very own sacred space creation! Return to how to send healing energy.
