VISUALIZING SACRED SPACE

Before you begin journeying or dreamwork you need to work on visualizing a place in your mind that becomes your own personal scared space. The sacred space you create will be your place and only people you invite may enter. It can be any kind of place in which your spirit feels happy and at home: a woodland clearing, a cave, a deserted beach, even a corner of your own garden. The more times you visit your sacred space the more real it will seem and the easier it will be to get there. Concentrate on creating and remembering detail; love the place, care for it, plant flowers and trees and tend them as they grow, decorate it as you would your home. Work out rituals for arriving and leaving and, from time to time, imagine an offering there to help express your gratitiude.
