Creating Your Sacred Space – Self-Worth

  As I write this article, I am sitting in my own Sacred Space – my meditation room. People have often commented to me “You have your own meditation room?” My sacred space didn’t start off as a whole room. It began as a tiny corner of my bedroom that was dedicated to honoring my spirit and was a tiny place carved out just for me to sit and listen to the stirrings of my soul.

Let it tell you what it is feeling. Really try to listen to its point of view. Be sympathetic, loving and supportive of your own feelings. Imagine listening to them the way you’d listen to a small child. Ask if there is anything you can do to take better care of yourself. Repeat this exercise before you go to bed at night, or any other time during the day [...]
