One Minute Miracles:  Sacred Spaces

Sacred spaces!  Just the term brings such a sense of  peace when I hear it, do you agree? 
I have been pondering areas to place a sacred space in my home since the  beginning of the year.  This space  would be a place to meditate, pray, read and create.   It would be a place to create in my transformational journal, a place to  contemplate new blogs and ideas, a place solely for me.

 I was having trouble finding a spot for my sacred   space.  It couldn’t be downstairs
– too many dogs and kids running about. 
Our downstairs is where we live, it’s not conducive to quiet  meditation…and that’s how it should be!

But upstairs, I had two spaces – either in my bedroom or in my  office. One blog that I read said have your sacred space as the thing you first  see upon awakening.  I have a   corner of my bedroom readily available and I could implement a sacred space   there.  Or, I already had a bit of  space in my office – all it needed was a few finishing touches.  I couldn't see it when I awake; however, it's the quietest spot in the house.

So the office was the spot I chose. The problem  is what to do with my computer/printer, etc.  I don’t want to look at or think about work while I am  meditating, right?  Well, it’s  simple.  Close the lid on the  laptop and cover it up.  Or block it off with a screen.  So now, from  my sacred space, I see the things I love:   pictures of my kids, their art work from days gone by, a view of trees  and sky and my books.

 In my sacred space I placed lucky bamboo to have something living.  Incense, a plaque from my  daughter, my journal, flowers, pictures and poems I love, and more books  surround my space.  A comfortable  chair and a sheepskin rug complete the space. Here is where I can go to just be, where  I can open up to the universe and clear my mind of nonsense.  

Do you have a sacred space in your home that you can visit when  your soul calls out?  If not,
what’s stopping you?
