I write a lot of self love and self care articles and I am grateful that a lot of them have been published with some really cool sites. Most of my articles are focused on how to live your best life as your best self, how to practice self love daily, and how to be what you wish to attract, etc. I write completely from experience and sweat labor. I have done the work, and it really is work. In doing the work I have come across many different levels of healing and best ways to implement a self care, self love routine and I love sharing my ideas and what has worked for me.
In these articles I always mention having a sacred space in your home which is something you definitely want to have and this space critical to you being able to completely immerse yourself in your spiritual practice. Now I want to take this concept one step or even multiple steps further and encourage you to create an entire home that is your sacred space.
Whether you live alone or have multiple family members living with you, you can still deem your home as your very own sacred space.
Our home is where we spend most of our life. It is where we raise our children, build our marriages, lay our heads to rest, enjoy sexual experiences, etc.
Some people have houses that they don’t connect with therefore their house is not their “home“. If this is you, you first need to make your house your “home“. A place you enjoy being, a place that is safe and comforting to you even if you are not a home body and enjoy going out and traveling and going away on weekends, you still want a wonderful place to come home to.
Home is where you soul should reside and be free. Home is where you should seek solace after a tough day (i.e. I can’t wait to go home).
Once you feel your house is your home, a place you love and feel comforted….then you can move on to making it sacred.
- Fill your home with things that make you happy (examples: wall hangings, books, nic nacks, candles, pottery, photos, rocks, statutes)
- Create a technology free zone – implement time and space where no technology is used (dinner time/table, meditation/yoga space)
- Focus on each room and what feelings you desire to feel in each room (examples: the bedroom should be focused around love so include lots of pinks and reds; the kitchen should be happy and bright; a living room is about family so put up lots of family photos and mirrors to reflect the love in the room; a master bath (if you have one) should represent relaxation and cleansing so maybe design it in a spa theme with soft colors, thick towels, lots of rocks, candles, and soaps / bath salts). The options are endless.
- Fill each room with plants and/or fresh flowers from your garden or a local garden store
- Infuse scents into the air that help to create a calming atmosphere – you can buy an infuser and essential oils or burn soy candles in soothing scents
- Make sure lighting throughout your home is soothing and not offensive
- Remove all clutter (you can have a clutter removal ceremony, yes this exists)
- Make sure each room flows freely so that kinetic energy can move through each room effortlessly. Move furniture around so that the energy is your home is not blocked
This is a good start for creating your sacred home space. If you desire more information or advice on where to begin, please contact us anytime and we can help.
It is so critical to love where you live, creating a sacred home space will make your house a true home.
Light, love, peace and happiness!
