Sacred Space

What is it and how do we go about creating one?

There are many examples of sacred spaces around the world. Mount Olympus for the Greeks, Stonehenge for the druids and so on, these sites are usually power sites, with long associations with the ancestors of their given culture. Those sites are important to the collective psyche of any peoples.

Sacred space approaches the same concept on a more personal level is there a place that u find especially good for relaxing in, or mediating perhaps? Maybe a tree in your local park or your garden a certain rock, cave, mountain, anything, anywhere where you feel comfortable can be your sacred space this also includes one within yourself if you can’t get out, why not carry it with u? The inner sacred space is a place that u create as a sanctuary from the real world where u can relax, flow with your own energy maybe its a place you already know or saw in a dream or u can create one the more u visualize it, the more real it gets. Try to feel textures within, sounds smells etc I bet you have one in your minds right now can u see it?

It’s a safe place, and u can visit it as often as u like the only limits are ones you impose so be aware of what comes into being, for that can offer important insights into your subconscious, ecology of the psyche. The sacred space is also an excellent starting place for journeys.

The spiral pathway is outside your sacred space. There are 2 options:- the left spiral, downwards and the right, upwards. The left leads to the underworld, the world of power animals, elementals, nature spirits and such. this connects you to your instinct and intuition, your base level awareness and your subconscious within. The right, leads to the upperworld, or skyworld, of gods, goddesses, guides, enlightened masters and the rest this connects you to the cosmos, the higher self, or the superconscious, and the world of spirits. Your sacred space is set in the middle world, world of everyday life and time, reality, awareness, dreams conciousness and any psychic gift u may be aware that u possess. The object here is to release your self importance, that which traps/creates the ego...consciousness, a place where you are most comfortable. The first journey to take is one to the underworld, within to find a negative quality that you'd like to change a small one picture yourself in your sacred space. In your sacred space you will see an exit with a spiral path. It can be a maze, or a forest path, or a tunnel of light, anything you would like to visualize.

Meditation

Take the left spiral, you will soon notice a downwards slope.
I am in the forest, my cougar and crow are with me walking downwards and slightly to the left it’s daytime.
The sun is shining
soon you come to a clearing
with many other paths exiting from it
the left most one
take the nearest left
walking on a trail thru the scrub, amongst birch and oak
you see small hill
like a mound
there is a cave in it
as u enter you stop and let your eyes adjust to the dark
there a faint light around u
and u sense a person walking towards you
it is yourself
wearing a placard around your neck
there’s a word written on it
a negative trait that u would like to change
reach out and turn the card over
write the positive version of this word on that side
then hug yourself
feeling your other self, that contains the positive word seeping into your body
with joy
can u feel it?
yes
step out of the cave and allow yourself a moment
when u ready to, follow the path back to the clearing
and take the nearest right path
which slopes gently upwards
yr animals are still with you
curving right
till you see your sacred space once more
thank your power animals and any other guides with you

This is a good time to have a small snack or drink, at the end of this to bring you fully to teh middle world, to earth.
