Creating Sacred Space

What is a sacred space? At its most basic, it is a place which invites the contemplation of divine mystery, and encourages an attitude of spiritual openness. A sacred space is not necessarily where answers are grasped or understood. Rather it is where questions are asked, conversations occur, rituals are perpetuated, dances are performed, songs are sung, and silence is heard—all in the attempt to find answers.

Type of sacred space: A sacred space could be as simple as a table top, a corner of the bedroom, your garden, a place just for you to enjoy precious moments alone.It does not require a whole room. This might be a spot left clear with special cushions for meditating. Or it could be a shelf transformed into a home altar. A sacred space can be a small table top, a spot on the dresser, an isolated corner, or an idle spot that collects clutter and dust.

Remember your sacred space is a place to reflect and to contemplate on what is important to you; to allow you to connect with your inner self without interference and in solitude.
