Creating a Sacred Space

Creating a sacred space for yourself is the foundation of inner peace. In this fast-paced world, it’s common for many of us to inherit the lack of value and discipline needed to prioritize our spiritual health. The moments you spend alone within your own energy field can be an extraordinary opportunity of connection with the inner most authentic Self and with the Divine Source of which that Self was created.

Throughout history, religions and spiritual scriptures dating back to ancient Egypt have taught us that The Kingdom of God is Within. In respect to this sacred teaching and to our spiritual wellbeing, it is our responsibility to create a space of sanctuary so that we can honour The Kingdom Within and more importantly, we can begin to develop a relationship with it. By creating a peaceful environment, you allow yourself to channel all your energy into connecting, communicating and receiving from The Kingdom Within. For those of us who have travelled to the depths of our inner being, we can testify that this Kingdom overflows with love, abundant wisdom, and life-altering truths which reveal to us that we are not only resilient beings, we are deeply loved, supported and profoundly relevant in our existence here on Earth and in the mystical and mysterious realms of the heavens.

Jesus says, “The Kingdom of God cometh not with outward show. Neither shall they say, ‘Lo, it is here!’ or ‘Lo, it is there!’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)

The Kingdom Within offers us a space to acknowledge our pain, feel our sorrows and observe our wrongdoings without discrimination. It is a place of salvation where we are given guidance, support and permission to embark on a life that aligns with our true purpose. When you find The Kingdom Within true healing begins and the journey to complete sovereignty sets sail. With some time, patience, commitment and unwavering faith, you will discover that all of its sacredness and glory is found within you and that it is indeed your birthright to reap the rewards of this Divine empire. While The Kingdom Within is a place of solitude and inner peace, it is also a source of creation and unconditional love and by simply existing in your awareness it will begin to take reign over your entire being and reality. When The Kingdom Within declares itself, it will initiate a disruption of all your illusions and will destroy every ego-based behaviour, addiction, relationship, belief and any other forms of energy seen and unseen that have manifested from the comforts of your trauma. It will dismantle the paradigms of any false limitations which have been embedded into your consciousness. When you discover The Kingdom Within it will transform you to mold you for your Highest purpose and set you on a path your ego is not prepared for but God has destined you for. Like the pains of a mother in labor, you too will feel the discomfort of your rebirth. It is a small price to pay for the ultimate reward of full sovereignty and eternal residence in the Kingdom of God.

Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will rule over all.” (Gospel of Thomas 2)

Create your sacred space using some of the grounding practices below. These practices can be used to bring the mind to peace, the body to stillness and the soul to ascension. Implement these activities into your everyday spiritual routine. Remember, you are the temple and only you can create sanctuary. Your place of salvation cannot be found in a world outside of yourself. The Kingdom of God is within you. Once you embody this Divine truth you will gain authority over your life and sovereignty over your soul.

Cleansing Your Home and Space

The first step to creating your sanctuary begins in your home. Use this opportunity to de-clutter by purging old items that hold painful memories and no longer resonate with your healing journey. In addition, doing a thorough cleaning of your home is essential for cleansing energies. Finish off by opening the windows and smudging using sage or frankincense.

Cleanse Your Body: Spiritual Bath

Water is an essential element of life and its spiritual connection to humanity has been long documented throughout religious and spiritual scriptures. A spiritual bath is a great way to cleanse the body and bring the mind to a state of harmony. The secret to a potent spiritual bath is to set an intention and pray on it during your bath. For an effective experience, try adding herbs, essentials oils or bath salts to your water for extra healing benefits. 

Aromatherapy

For centuries aromatherapy has used aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the mind, body and spirit. Due to the direct connection between smell and the limbic system, these powerful plant extracts enhance both physical and emotional wellbeing, and are commonly used to help treat anxiety disorders, skin conditions, joint pain and so much more. Find a blend that aligns with your intentions.

Binaural Beats: 528 Hz

528 Hz is known as the “miracle tone” and has been used since ancient civilizations to manifest miracles, blessings, abundance and emotional healing. 528 Hz is the most significant of the Solfeggio Frequencies. It has a deep-rooted relationship with nature and is scientifically associated with DNA repair. This powerful tone restores human consciousness and brings more harmony and balance in your life. You can listen to it for free on YouTube.

Ceremonial Drink

A ceremonial drink like matcha or a calming herbal tea is a great addition to your spiritual routine. My favourite is chamomile as it is known to relieve stress, aid digestion, improve sleep, support skin, and treat inflammation. In addition, chamomile supports the solar plexus which regulates our fears and anxieties as well as our personal power.

Meditation

A lot of people get intimidated by meditation because they can’t seem to shut off their thoughts. Here is a helpful tip: don’t try to stop thinking - what you resist persists. Instead, focus on your breathing and always bring it back to the breathe when you find your mind is wondering (and it will!) Meditation helps to reduce stress and anxiety, boosts self-acceptance, increases feelings of compassion and fights depression. Meditation is the gateway to reconnecting with the Higher Self. It is how we quiet the outer world and tune into the inner universe. 

Prayer

Prayer is powerful and it is even more powerful when your thoughts, visualization, words and emotions are in perfect alignment with your intention. Prayer is more than a conversation with God. It is a declaration that you are empowered in your connection to Divinity and your faith cannot be shaken. Prayer is taking control over your energy and receiving from the very source that triumphs over evil.

“You can change your world by changing your words…Remember, death and life are in the power of your tongue” 

Candles

Host a candle ceremony where you light a candle with intention. Intention candles represent our quest for enlightenment and our hope to illuminate the darkness within our life and energy field. Aromatherapy candles can intensify this experience by shifting our emotional state and increasing our awareness to what we are truly feeling deep within. Discover your perfect blend here.

Fasting

Fasting is an ancient spiritual practice and is believed to be the most effective for spiritual cleansing as it is used to purge the physical, mental, emotional and energetic matter that keeps us in cycles of trauma, chaos and confusion. There are many different ways to fast - some more extreme than others. If you would like to do a fast but have some health concerns, you may want to discuss with your doctor first. In the meantime, you can start by doing your research and becoming more familiar with the practice.

Journaling

Journaling is a powerful tool to connect with your inner child and to access your subconscious mind. This is essential for healing as much of our trauma is responsible for the distorted belief systems trapped within the subconscious and carried out through the inner child. This keeps us in a constant loop of fear, guilt and shame and block us from living our best life. Journalling is an ancient practice known to enhance your spiritual journey by raising your awareness and creating brain-heart coherence. Studying yourself is vital in healing your soul and manifesting your purpose.

Gratitude & Affirmations

Gratitude is a Divine State. Practicing gratitude instantly raises your frequency and enhances the law of attraction. Try practicing gratitude by including it in your daily affirmations. Affirmations are used to reprogram your subconscious mind to accept healthy and empowering beliefs.
