The New Year is approaching fast. Maybe one of your resolutions is to be more open and available to spirit. That means having access to a special place for contemplating, meditation or prayer. It’s a place where your INNER and OUTER selves can touch. If you travel like The Dalai Lama, maybe you can create a packable shrine. If you are a solitary witch you can outfit some out-of the way spot in your home, office or workshop. Whatever your situation, sacred space is created by a clear state of consciousness and reflects the interests of the individual.
