Making Space for Sacred SpaceStephanie Yeh When you read a great inspirational book, prayer, or article, dont you think to yourself, "What a great idea! I should do more daily rituals, prayer, meditation." It always seems like a great idea, right We know that sacred practices and sacred space bring peace, harmony, joy, and ease into our lives. Sounds like a great idea! The problem is that the impulse to add more sacred activity into our lives only lasts for a few moments-then life intrudes and we forget all about it until the next time we read something inspiring. So how can we really make space for sacred space in our lives Luckily its not as hard as you think. Check out these simple ways you can expand the sacred in your life: 1 Be Simple and Consistent: Consistency in creating sacred space is much more important than quantity. Choose one sacred practice you will do every day, and do it every day. Even if you just sit and breathe for 3 minutes in silence, youll feel the benefit of those 3 minutes throughout your day. 2 Clear Out the Clutter: Sacred space means actually having a space where you can be in the sacred. Dedicate one area of your house to the sacred by clearing out all the excess junk, creating an altar or space for sacred objects there, and keeping it fresh with incense, candles, or plants. Keep the area energetically clean with by smudging get instructions by sending a blank email to cleansmudge@shamanschool.com.* 3 Have Great Beginnings or Endings: Putting sacred practice at the beginning or end of your day will make it easier to remember and do. Starting your day with sacred practice will bring you peace and awareness throughout the day. Ending your day with sacred practice will help you rest deeply and beneficially. 4 Take Your Sacred Space Outdoors: Theres nothing like nature to bring the sacred into our awareness. If you find it difficult to get out of your daily routine indoors, spend a few moments outdoors each day, greeting the sky and earth. Youll be amazed at how fast you connect to the sacred. 5 Move in Sacredness: For those of us who cant sit still long enough to meditate, walking can also be a way to create the sacred. Walking and praying, or walking and talking with our higher powers can create sacred space around you, plus you can take it with you everywhere you go!
