Turn Your Home Into A Sacred Space

How many times have you needed a timeout, or place of refuge to clear your mind? Seeking peace and balance is vital, with all of the breakdowns and breakthroughs occurring in our personal lives, and the world today. This is why making your home a scared space is essential to your energetic well-being and mental health.

For me, an energetically healthy home is a reflection of who I am spiritually and what I believe. We all have a unique story that is to be expressed in our immediate environment, thus making it holy and sacred.

When you infuse your home or a room with your divine essence, you are creating Heaven on Earth and raising the vibration of the world.

You don’t need to invest a lot of money since simplicity is key.

Declutter

From past experience, the best place to start is by removing all the clutter in your living space that is no longer wanted or needed. Sell it, donate it, or simply toss it, depending on the condition, value and sentiment. This is a fundamental principle in the ancient Chinese tradition of Feng Shui to live in greater harmony with your environment.

By cleansing and purifying the energy in your living environment, you wipe the metaphysical slate clean and allow new inspiration, people and ideas to manifest. Sometimes we become stuck in a recurring cycle or pattern of doing things, until we remove an element, or find another perspective.

A home is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life’s storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Boundaries

Decluttering does not only apply to material possessions, but also to people who don’t truly support you and tend to bring unwanted toxic energy into your life. If someone is no longer on your vibrational level, create healthy boundaries for yourself, or move on. It is difficult to create inner and outer serenity with people who aren’t on the same page as you. Send them on their way, so you can focus on what’s important in your life.

Cleanse

It is recommended to perform a home blessing ceremony before you move into  a new place and to maintain the energy hygiene of your home with a regular energy cleansing practice. For example, smudge the interior with sage in the Native-American tradition, sprinkle salt in a protective circle around your house, and do a weekly prayer or visualization to invite positive energy into your home.

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. At first you might find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred space and use it, eventually something will happen. Your sacred space is where you find yourself again and again ~ Joseph Campbell

Nature

Invite the healing energies of nature into your home with indoor plants, herbs, flowers, and water features. Establishing a stronger presence of nature in your home balances and heals the energy in your home.

Ambience

Create an atmosphere or peace, harmony and tranquility. Use paint and fabric colors that promotes relaxation and a calm state of mind, such as creamy white, seaside blue, and pastel hues of pink, violet, green, and yellow. Some clever lighting, a strategically placed bowl of sea salt, a home-made essential oil airspray, and the calming sounds of some windchimes can all create a blissful atmosphere in your home that calms the heart and mind.
