How To Create A Sacred Space In Your Home: March 4, 2016
Carol Kuruvilla. 03/04/2016 Excerpted: Whether you’re religious, non-religious, or anything in between, a sacred space can help you pause, unplug, and reflect on the only work that really matters: loving the world, practicing gratitude, and being kind to yourself.
Having a designated space in your home for prayer, meditation, or private reflection can be a constant reminder of how important it is to cultivate this sense of awe and wonder in your life.
HuffPost Religion asked a few experts for tips on how to create a special area for meditation and spirituality in the tiniest of homes and on a tight budget. Even if you only get a few minutes to spend there in a day, we hope this helps guide you towards incorporating more mindfulness into your life.....
Sherri Silverman, a sacred space consultant who specializes in Vastu, an ancient Indian system of architecture and design, suggests taking off your shoes when you enter your sanctuary.
“This keeps the dirt and stress of the everyday world outside of your space, setting it apart as quieter, cleaner, more sacred, and more peaceful,” Silverman told The Huffington Post. “It will help delineate it as separate and honored.”
Allow your space to evolve over time. Find more things to place in it and clear out items that aren’t as useful to you anymore. Create new rituals and intentions for it as your own spiritual practice grows.

Making your home a sacred space

SECTION: NEW HOMES; Pg. I5
Your home can become a sacred space if you follow Vastu principals.
In Vastu: Transcendental Home Design in Harmony with Nature, consultant and artist Sherri Silverman explains the differences between Vastu and feng shui, an interior design approach from China that seeks to optimize one's life by creating an unobstructed flow of ch'i or universal life energy in a home. Vastu, she writes, began thousands of years before feng shui and also deals with elemental energies, but she argues Vastu has greater depth for creating lives of peace and vitality. If possible, the author advocates hiring a Vastu architect and creating a home with precise measurements and the proper directional alignments.
But if that's not possible you can still make changes in your home that compensate for improper orientation. For instance, the centre of the building should be kept clear, ideally with a courtyard open to the sky. Chances are your home doesn't have a courtyard so at least keep the centre clear of large, heavy objects. This is just one of many Vastu guidelines the author argues will not only transform your home but benefit your life.
