Setting up your Altar space
Remember to set up your altar space! It may seem like a something of little importance but it makes a huge difference if you are able to practice in the same place, in front of objects that your heart feels are sacred, every day. The altar is a living being that is conspiring with you to elevate your energy and connect to devotion and light.
Since I travel a lot, I always bring a small piece of fabric, a few sacred items and pictures with me so I can set up mini altar. It’s comforting and helps me to drop into my practices more quickly. If you can get into this habit, it will become a great ally!
Set up your altar so you are facing EAST (the house of the rising Sun, the place of light) {if it’s not possible to do this then find the next best solution. I invite you to get quiet, tune in and see where your altar is asking to be placed)
Set up the altar in a low traffic area and allow it to become a sacred space of devotion, a place for your evolution and expansion. If you can keep it a place special only to you it will be easier to keep your energy flowing smoothly.
Practice in front of your altar every day. It will make a big difference! You are charging this sacred space with your energy and intentions and the energy will start to build and will create a powerful vortex and portal of its own.
Write your intentions down on a sheet of paper and place them on your altar.
Place a vessel of WATER on the altar and bless it with your intentions. The water will become charged with your practice and energy. Empty the water on the Earth with a simple prayer when you feel it's time to change it out.
A candle is also helpful... light it each time you sit to practice. Palo santo and/or sage are great to have on hand for clearing the space regularly (especially if you have a release during your practice)
You can place any other sacred objects that you feel connected to : crystals, stones, feathers, pictures, statues, art. Whatever brings you peace and joy.
