Eric Shulman on How to Create Your Own Sacred Space

In my final outside reading, I will endure upon creating your own sacred space and what it has to offer. If you have your own personal sacred space for meditation, prayer, or whatever it might be, your spirituality will become more positive by the day. Having a sacred place in your home is beneficial because if you use that place to your advantage frequently, then your mind and body will be more prone to be in a relaxed state. According to Bob Crawford, “A sacred space is a great way to keep your attention focused on your spiritual self throughout your day. Each time you pass by your sacred space you’ll be reminded of your intentions. Just walking by your “space” will reinforce whatever thoughts, feelings, or actions you experience, or intend to experience there” (Crawford). I like this quote by Bob because I can relate well to it when I’m back home during the summer in Richmond. A quiet place where I go to collect my thoughts is at my country club’s lake. Fully surrounded by the 9th and 18th holes of our golf course, it’s a quiet area with benches and mini tents to focus on what I need to. If I’m struggling or having problems whether it’d be with work or family, it’s where I like to get away to find my inner self.
