First, clean the space physically and energetically by removing unnecessary items that create strange feelings. Consider how colors, furniture arrangement, and lighting impact the atmosphere and your feelings. Make adjustments to achieve a harmonious space that allows a clear mind. Enhance the sacred feeling with fresh flowers, incense, crystals, candles, music or a dedicated meditation corner. The goal is to craft a space that supports your intended atmosphere and needs.

How to create a Sacred Space
First, become aware of the energy in the environment. How does it feel? What is the
atmosphere you want to create?
It is important to clean the space periodically. This may sound obvious, but all too
often it is overlooked. A clean space allows a clear mind. Equally important is to clear
the space energetically. Put away the little things you do not need anymore or which
are broken or give a strange feeling, keep everything in order. The majority of the
items should have a designated space. Remove, rearrange or add artwork from time
to time. The images on your walls are filled with energy. When you look objectively at
each picture, does it make you feel good?
How are the colors in the room? Colors in a space affect how you feel. A new coat
of paint can do wonders! Which colors? There are no rules, consider perhaps white,
maybe soft colors, but a room with strong colors might be exactly what is needed,
depending on what one needs for oneself, depending on the country where one lives,
depending on the culture, what is around your space. I try to choose harmonious
colors and forms for decoration inside the room, to make it complex and rich, while
presenting a feeling of space and simplicity.
How is the furniture? Is there a natural flow? Is there a better arrangement of furniture,
or are there any pieces that are unnecessary? Look at the different levels of furniture,
children often like to be close to the ground. You can choose nice carpets or mats, this
immediately brings a different feeling to the place.
Then you can look at the light source. Unless you are building a new room, you cannot
choose the size and shape of windows, but sometimes you can add a good spotlight,
or a special lampshade or add some colored glass. to give atmospheric light. Or you
can even add a skylight in the roof as I did. It is important here that children can see
clearly what they create.
Then think of your room as a sacred space. What can you do to enhance that feeling?
Bring fresh flowers and arrange them in a vase or in a bowl. They bring a flash of color,
sometimes they smell good, and they have something to say, too. Burn some natural
incense to purify the atmosphere, place some crystals around, burn a natural scented
candle, play peaceful music, concentrate, meditate. Maybe make a special corner with
pictures or a statue.
