Power of sacred spaces
Divine. The idea of temples and deities came into the picture, driven more by human tendencies towards materialism. The focus shifted from inner worship to external rituals. In today's fast-paced world, the idea of having a dedicated space for meditation or contemplation becomes even more relevant. But let's clarify something: no place is inherently holier than another. It's about creating a kind of biological automatism.
Think about it this way: when you walk into your kitchen, your mind automatically associates the space with eating, and you might even feel a bit hungry, especially if it's mealtime. The same principle applies to having a dedicated space for meditation. When you consistently meditate in the same spot, your mind and body start to recognise that space as a cue to relax, focus and go inward.
A meditation space is any space that is calm and clean where you can tune into yourself. A sacred space for worship or meditation is that space where we can connect with our true nature, bringing balance and peace to our lives.
While some spiritual practices have become more ritualistic over time, their true purpose remains to guide us toward inner growth. At the end of the day, the most important spiritual space isn't a building or a temple; it's our heart. So, why not create a little corner in our life — literally or figuratively — where we can retreat, reflect and reconnect with ourselves?
