Initially my sacred space was....my car! Perhaps initially you will not resonate much with the idea of having your own sacred space however as you align deeper and deeper with your true self you may start craving a sacred space for you. Even if you think you don't need it.....trust me YOU DO! It was probably one of the best things I did for myself and was a way of honouring and showing love to myself. I am worthy of having my own space just for my pleasure, well-being and self-expression. 

 

An essential part of your self love journey is finding and creating a special sacred space ONLY for you.

I want you to find somewhere in your home that you can make exclusively yours. This could be a corner in your bedroom, a nook in a hallway, an area in your conservatory. 

I want you to design this place just for you. What makes it warm and comfy for you? Perhaps a velvety chair with a footstool or perhaps a boho style floor seating area with patterned throws and cushions? What do YOU love?

Think about the colours that you like, which colours bring you feelings of peace, love, joy, serenity? Go to a home accessories shop and look at the colours of the cushions and throws. Which tones and colour combinations are you drawn to?

What about the fabrics and patterns? Maybe a glitter cushion resonates with you? Maybe bold patterns or Florals? 

Think about the lighting. Perhaps fairy lights will create a soft ambience and an additional lamp when reading or writing in the evening?

Do you like to read? Create a book area with a special table for your hot drinks.

I want you to express yourself in this area. This is the "authentic you" area. An area for you to feel completely safe and relaxed and to do whatever your soul pleases.

You may wish to meditate, journal, draw, write or drink coffee and appreciate the amazing nature in your garden. regardless what you do with this area...this area is yours and you have created it purely out of love for yourself and with love from yourself.

This does not have to be expensive, however prioritise creating this area as a way to show love and care for yourself. You can add more things to this area over time perhaps as you discover more and more of your authentic self on your self love journey. 

For me personally creating my own sacred space was one of the most loving things I did for myself on my self love journey. I always worried about my children and ensure their rooms were comfortable and practical and I realised I had never done this for myself. Instead of meditating on my bed or on the sofa downstairs I started meditating in my sacred space. I taught my kids that this was mom's space and they were not allowed to sit there (kids need boundaries). This space was created with my loving soul energy for myself and the energy of this small area in my house felt different to anywhere else at home. 

I covered a small mattress I once used for my children's bookcorner with a soft beige throw. I look for cushion covers online to replace the bright blues and yellows of my children's book corner cushions with. I chose white cushions with silver feathers (as doves resonate with me), a silver glitter cushion and fur light blue cushions. Blue reflected that this area was my personal peaceful oasis in my otherwise mink themed bedroom and the sequinned cushions just added light and brightness and joy for me. All the materials were soft and cosy just like love. I chose fairy lights of hearts and and greenery, as I tried to bring in a touch of nature which I resonate deeply with. I added a plant that was bought for me by a friend and bought a picture that resonated deeply with me. 

I hope this guide and my own example of how I created my own sacred space has helped you and inspired you to create your own sacred space. If you do need any more guidance please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you! I am passionate about interior design and my diploma definitely helped me when designing my space. For a small fee I can help you discover what you love and help guide you in designing your sacred space. We will consider colour palettes, theme, fabrics and other things and by bouncing ideas off eachother we can create a beautiful space created just for you by your soul ❤️

take this as an opportunity to give yourself the time and energy to get to know yourself, what you love. What is your soul, your very being, drawn to?
