Creating a Sacred Space at Home

When my spiritual practice deepened again in 2025, one of the first things I felt called to do was create a small sacred space at home, a place where I could breathe, process, and reconnect amidst the intensity of grief and life.

Sacred spaces don’t have to be spiritual in the traditional sense. They simply need to feel like home for your soul.

Start with a corner, a shelf, a small table, or even a windowsill. Then ask yourself:
What brings me comfort? What helps me feel grounded? What reminds me of who I am?

Your sacred space might include:

• a candle

• crystals

• a favourite photo (I keep one of my dad here)

• a journal

• dried or fresh flowers

• meaningful objects

• soft fabrics

• incense or essential oils

• a small bowl for intentions or prayers
  
  

Over time, the space becomes energetically alive. You’ll feel it when you sit there, a settling, a shift in your breathing, a sense that this is a place where your emotions are welcome.

My own sacred space holds a mixture of grief and gratitude. There are moments I sit there and cry, moments I meditate, moments I simply breathe and place a hand on my heart. It has become a sanctuary within my home and within myself.

A sacred space is not about perfection. It is about presence.

Return to it often. Let it witness your healing, your growth, your stillness. It will hold you, again and again.
