CREATING A SACRED SPACE
Creating a sacred space of your own is a
way to honor yourself and give deeper meaning to your spiritual path.
When you create a sanctuary devoted to spiritual
practices, the spiritual energy of that place increases the more that
you use it. Soon you may notice that simply entering your sanctuary
puts you in a state of peace. Meditation and contemplation may come more easily to you.
Creating a sacred space of your very own is a way of loving yourself. It is like a special
secret you carry within you, wherever you go, whatever you are doing. When you are out in the world, just
remembering your sacred space can bring you peace. Just thinking
about your sacred space, creates that sacred space within you.
This is the main purpose of creating a sacred sanctuary - to help you
connect with your inner sanctuary - the peace and calm within yourself.
It can be as simple as a candle or a
flower in the corner of a room. Or you may choose to find a special place in nature or to create a beautiful garden. It may also be as
elaborate as an entire room devoted to meditation, contemplation, hatha yoga,
and scriptural study.
