What is an Altar?

Altars have been used for centuries to celebrate the Sacred in everyday life. They are a place of prayer, meditation, self-reflection, deep listening, healing, and inspiration.

In this mini-introductory course, you will learn how to craft an altar for your own home sanctuary and open a Spiritual Vortex into your everyday environment.

This is your personal safe space to come sit, rest, renew, die, and rebirth throughout this program. It acts as a living representation of your inner world and your commitment to becoming your best self. Time spend in this sanctuary increases your inner intimacy with yourself, your wishes, your goals, and keeps you on track as you transform from the inside out. 

Why is an Altar Important for Safe Soul Work?

In personal healing, we usually are redirected to an office or clinic that is dedicated to health, healing, and well being. When we are in this sanctuary of positive vibration, we feel inspired and ready to take on our shadowy parts and heal. But, so often when we return to our normal everyday surroundings all our good intentions lose steam. Within days, or weeks, of being back in our normal environments, we feel our inspiration dwindle and change feels like an uphill battle. In our personal programs, we encourage you to make changes right in the center of your everyday cocoon, create a personal home sanctuary, and feel the shift radiate into all corners of you life. 

An altar space is the center of your Home Sanctuary. It is your personal spiritual safe place, or mayu, cultivated in the core of your normal everyday surroundings. This space can be a corner of an office, a place in your garden, or anywhere you deem worthy.

In this space I encourage you to form an altar filled with representations of the 4 elements and 4 sacred directions:

A Home Sanctuary is your personal spiritual safe place, or mayu, cultivated in the core of your normal everyday surroundings. This space can be a corner of an office, a place in your garden, or anywhere you deem worthy. The altar is the focus point, or center of this sacred space. I encourage you to form a alter filled with representations of the 4 elements and 4 sacred directions: 

North - Earth, place crystals, plants, and things that make you feel grounded 

South - Fire and transformation. Place candles, lava stone, and incense

West - Water, emotions. Place people you love, teachers, guides, shells, and sand

East - Air, mental flow. Place feathers and higher intellectual knowledge (poetry/philosophy)

Center - Angelic Guidance, Gaia, and Galactic Helpers. Place clear/light blue crystals. 

Please keep a meditation cushion, blindfold, and journal near your altar for reflective belly wisdom writing.
