Welcome at Flow of Miracles

Dear People,

After my recent move the idea of Sacred Space is more alive then ever in my life - so I thought I'd write about it on the blog. You might already have a space where you feel more at home or at ease, but it's also fun to create one just for you. It can help clarify difficult decisions and help ease hard situations.

Sacred Space
A Sacred Space is different for everybody, but most of us have places that we feel are special. When I ask people to tell me about their special places these are often named:

• A place that has happy memories ~ made during holidays, weddings, festivals, childhood etc.
• A room in your own home ~ where you feel most at home
• A place in nature ~ woods, park, beach, sea, ocean
• A place involving food ~ restaurants,  bakeries, coffee places, candy shops etc.

This special place is where we want to go when we are sad, when we want to think, when we want to be cheered up or when we want to celebrate something special.

Creating a Sacred Space: Energetically
I always recommend creating a sacred space in your home. A lot of people start thinking of buying furniture, incense or other things to make it special, but the easier way is to start energetically. Pick a place where you want to be. Every day take yourself there with positive intent and watch the positive vibes build up. You can also meditate there or do healing work to permeate the space with loving energy. Visualize a healing lattice or energy balls and you will soon start to feel the power of the Sacred Space.

Creating a Sacred Space: Attributes
You can also of course buy things that help your Sacred Space to feel sacred to you. You might want to hang up art or photo's that have meaning to you. Paint the walls or place down a rug. Bring in some flowers or plants. Add in furniture that you love or that has meaning to you. Let it smell great by spraying perfume or using incense. Bring in your favorite tea, coffee or other beverage.

I prefer to have something for all of the senses in my space: seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting and touching, but you can mix and match until you feel comfortable.

I also prefer to have each from all of the elements in my space (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), but you can also use (water, fire, earth, air) or add in Spirit. You can also use Feng Shui to make your place vibrant and alive.

Allow your space to grow to your heart's content, but don't feel bad if you want to change things up as your ideas on what is right for you changes. Even a little nook or a part of a shelf can be enough of a sacred space, you don't have to set aside a room.

Using a Sacred Space
Using a Sacred Space is easy! Just go there all the time.
Make sure you bring in positive energy when you feel joyful and healthy and whole. 
Help yourself process feelings when you feel sad, angry or upset.
Find clarity when you are in the midst of chaos.

Leave your space when you feel whole and at ease (or when your busy life calls!).
