Creating Sacred Space |
|
Creating sacred space is just about creating an environment that supports our movement into healing and wellness. If we are surrounded by dirtiness, clutter, chaos, constant fighting and discord, it makes it all the more difficult to keep the flow going in a helpful direction. So really we just want to clear our home or our space of disharmonious elements so that we can be free from their discordant influence and be in an environment that supports our healing and wellness and indeed, that reflects our new vision for our self.
There are obvious things we can do like keeping our space or home clean, warmly welcoming, and orderly etc... But we also know that there are forces which are not seen with the human eye which have the effect of pulling our energy down to a lower vibration.
Perhaps we can consider our condition after we have had a rather inflammatory exchange with our spouse/teenager/partner/etc.... Well, what we know is that it takes a while for us to calm down, to return to balance, to return to peace. What we may not know, is that the energy of that argument was discharged into the ethers of our home, and the ethers of the atmosphere, and it remains, to some degree, exerting its negative influence on the environment.
This is the greatest difficulty in trying to impress the understanding of the impact of what negative thoughts, feelings, and expressions create in our world; and that is that much of the impact which is created, is not seen with the human eye. And yet we can feel it. We can feel the heaviness in our heart from the discord which was created. And the energy of this discord remains in the area to some degree, and is discharged onto this earth plane to some degree, and this is why we are all affected by the discord of one another; because we are all on the same plane of existence, and everything that we do affects the whole, although this is not perceived with the five human senses. Yet we know this to be true - because when we walk into someone’s house where there is much fighting and discord, and yet there is nothing to be seen of it at that moment, we FEEL the discord which is present with our inner senses. We may not be sure how it is that we feel it, but we feel it just the same. This is when we are in touch with our extrasensory perceptions but we do not even realize this.
We can also have discordant energies emitted from our TV and especially when we allow our self to watch and witness depictions of fear based, violent and darkly colored situations. While the movie is not actually an event which is happening in our physical world, it is an event which is unfolding in our mind as we allow it to be present by witnessing it, by listening to it, by experiencing it. This is why when we watch a very sad movie, that we may well cry; or when we watch a violent movie, that we may well feel frightened and sick. We can probably all remember a time when we watched a very scary movie as a teenager and that we almost had a pain in our gut, a fear welling up within us. This is because EVERYTHING is consciousness and energy and it has its effects on us.
So we just know that it is well for us to be aware of these things, and to take care to keep our environment free from disharmony as best we can.
The best and most important way to clear the energies in our home and to create a sacred space is to clear and harmonize all of the consciousnesses that live there, for that is the true source of the discord in the first place — and it is the only way to create true and lasting harmony in the home!

However we can also support this process by trying a few things which many have observed to be helpful in creating a sacred space, shifting consciousness, clearing discord, and manifesting a greater flow of warmth. Light, peace and harmony in the home.
¨ Keeping home or space clean, orderly, and in a rhythm and balance.
¨ Keeping home or space free from disorder, chaos, and clutter.
¨ Decorating or re-decorating our home or space with our favorite colors, candles, incense, flowers, crystals, spiritual pictures, or any other items that contribute to making our space feel sacred to us.
¨ Pulling back the curtains and letting the sunshine in
¨ When able, opening the windows and letting the fresh air in
¨ Picking fresh flowers from a garden [or buying them from a shop] and decorating with various plants to bring the energy and beauty of Nature into the house. [then remembering to water our plants!]
¨ Lighting some sweet grass or sage and letting it fill and cleanse every room.
¨ Using natural aromatherapy to lift the vibration
¨ Playing music that makes us feel relaxed, -or joyful, -or like dancing- [whatever we prefer].
¨ Visualizing in meditative focus, our home or space being filled with white Light.
¨ Asking in prayer/meditation and holding our intention that our home be cleared daily of all discordant energy and that all be supported to live harmoniously with one another.
¨ And most of all, moving about our home being mindful of how our own consciousness and energy affects the environment in our home.
If we feel that more is needed, we may try a remote space clearing
