Create your clarity space

11/1/2018

Meditation, journaling, self reflection, and all spiritual practices are much easier to do daily if you create sacred space to do so.  It is the spot set apart for you to engage in deepening your spirit, centering yourself, and grounding - your clarity spot.

When the kids were little it was a struggle to find time for myself to be.  However, the daily practice of sitting and reconnecting with yourself and the power beyond you is what keeps you calm, happy, and energized.  At that time, I had a chair and a candle in the living room. When I lit the candle, the kids knew mom was taking a 10 minute time out. Now the kids are bigger, I enjoy more private corner of my bedroom for myself.

How to Set Up Your Clarity Spot:
Find a place in your home where you feel comfortable. You want to be able to unwind here, not a spot where you feel on display or your guard needs to be up. Think of the place you feel happiest or most relaxed.

Add something to make it special and denote that this is a space set apart: a candle, pictures of those you love, a special book, journal, a plant or flowers.  My favorite way of creating this space is looking around the house for my favorite things or meaningful items and using those for my clarity space.

What you place there can change based on your mood, goals, or the time of year.  Mine changes throughout the year. I try to keep it visually aligned with my goals and how I want to use the space. I may add a shell I found at the beach to remind me to relax; pretty leaves the kids collect to take me back to my favorite place, the woods; or in spring a potted daffodil welcoming change. If I am working on a big project, I may put something there that reminds me of my “why” in doing the project.

I try my best to spend time in my clarity spot each day, even if it is only for a minute.  Yesterday was hectic, so my time was spent there doing nothing, but taking in the love of the Universe with each breath.
