Why create a scared healing space of your very own you ask? Because it is one self-care practice that will serve you every time you feel the need to escape the hectic modern world time & time again. You will have a special place to go to, to heal, find clarity & escape the pressures & stress of the daily grind. You can use this sacred space as a place to receive inner guidance & knowledge as well as to write, draw, paint, chant, meditate or simply listen to birds sing outside. Your own private Oasis. Sounds like bliss right? Read on to create your very own sacred healing space.
- First of all, you need to find a place where you won’t be disturbed. If you live in a busy household investing in a lock on your door, a decent set of head phones or ear plugs is a great place to start!
- Next in your chosen space clear the clutter! This will eliminate old stagnant negative energies & allow for fresh new positive healing energy to flow through your special new healing space.
- Now the fun begins! Time to decorate your new special scared place! You could hang a screen, beads, or a billowy curtain to emphasize the importance of the environment as a place of solitude.
- Place a special rug & pillows on the floor to induce a state of comfort & nurturing.
- Next, set up an altar with spiritual objects to bring in the energy of spirituality. Each object can be placed with an intention for going deep within your heart and soul. Crystals are great for this.
- Creating your altar can be as simple as draping a small table with a special fabric. On top of the table, place items such as a scented candle, incense burner, essential oil diffuser, or natural objects like rocks and seashells that bring in the earth element.
- Add plants and flowers for energy, colour and increased oxygen. Lavender and purple symbolize spirituality, pink opens the heart, green brings in nature’s balance and yellow stimulates health. Read up on chakra colours & trust your inner guidance while choosing your colours.
- Hang pictures of gardens, mountains, angels, spiritual symbols, meaningful quotes & affirmations to impart a feeling of peace and harmony. There are many beautiful ones to choose from, pick the ones that sing to your soul.
- It is also a great place to play soft music (the spa radio channel on Pandora is great for this) Keep your personal development books & any spiritual guidance cards in this special place to offer you inspiration & further guidance.
This sacred place you’ve just created is a perfect place to ask for guidance, connect with your higher self, do yoga, practice deep breathing & meditation to create a positive vision for your life. As you refocus on your inner life, you’ll find yourself calmer, clearer, happier and more inspired to follow your heart.
Enjoy your new scared healing space!
