Making a Sacred Space

Everyone has those days where you need escape.  Whether it be work, school, family, friends, or any kind of drama.  Having a sacred space of your own is just lovely.  It is your space so you can do what you want.  If you want to meditate in your living room or den or cook away your issues in the kitchen, making a sacred space is simple.  There are many ideas about how to make a sacred space.  Some want to follow exact directions on making a circle, lighting sage, and chanting.  I feel like you can cleanse an area without following a directional sheet.  Lighting sage and swirling the smoke in a circle is a methodical way and some people prefer the classic how-to.  I made my space by bringing my own touch to the area.  I lite a few favorite candles and created my own blessings.   I also use my tarot cards to bring positive energy and do some blessings and charms.  I feel like making your own space personal with blessings and energy you originated, makes the sacred space even more sacred.  Googling how to do things like this adds to negative energy and doesn't stay true to yourself.  However,  I know people who prefer to have steps laid out for them.  If you make your own area with personal touches it will be an even better escape.

Here are some examples of sacred spaces.  It is up to you to make your space.  You can make it simple or however you like.  It belongs to you.
