Sacred Space

“Create an altar or visit a power place to connect with the Divine.”

This month we are being reminded of the power of going within.

No matter what we are experiencing in our external world we always have the refuge of our inner world to find that place of peace and solitude.

When we create a sacred inner space you can be in the busiest, noisiest place on the planet but still reside in a calm and harmonious emotional state.

Nemetona knows that it isn’t always as simple as flicking a switch in our thoughts to send us deeply into this inner residence of peace. That is why she is encouraging us to create sacred external spaces, or take ourselves to those that already exist, in order for us to find an easier gateway into our own sacred inner world.

When we take the time to create a personal altar it doesn’t need to be elaborate (although it absolutely can be), what is important is the intention with which we create it.

Try it for yourself this month.

Set some time aside when you know you won’t be interrupted and you don’t feel like this is a chore.

Select a space in your home, or you can even do it in your work space if you don’t have any issues around what people will see, and designate it as your personal, intentional, sacred space.

Perhaps you have an image, a crystal or an item of significance to you that reminds you that you are more than your body, that you are a loving spirit on a journey here in this lifetime.

My altars are often very simple – they might include an oracle card that I have asked guidance to present to me, a crystal and usually an object from nature like a feather, flower or rock. Candles, pictures, incense and statues are also wonderful for helping to create a respectful, beautiful sacred space.

Once you have created your space take some time to reflect upon the items you chose – what do they mean to you? Why did you chose them and not something else?

How do you feel when you look at them?

Your aim is to feel in a high vibration that encourages feelings of love and joy.

Allow this space you have brought together to help you tap into your inner spirit, your higher self and the greater loving Divine.

Any thoughts, images or emotions that come to mind can be observed and if they feel significant park them in your consciousness for another time when you can look into them more deeply.

Use this sacred space you have created to bring you to a place of inner calm.

Whenever you feel overwhelmed, confused or generally low for whatever reason in your life this is a beautiful place to come and recharge.

When you are feeling light, uplifted and joyous it is the perfect spot to reflect upon your gratitude for life and give thanks for the opportunity this lifetime has given you.

May you have the best time ever this month creating this very special space!

With love,

Xx
