The
World Health Organization (WHO) describes health as “the condition of
perfect bodily, spiritual, and social well-being and not solely the
absence of illness and injury.” As described by the WHO, how many of us
feel emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy on a
daily basis? We work in structures called ‘sick-buildings;’ we go home
to care for families so tired we are almost unable to function; and we
increasingly lose our connection with any sense of our place in the
universe. How do we reclaim our life and start to think that our life
matters and that we are important in the overall scheme of things? One
way of doing this is to create our own sanctuary/sacred space.
Creating our own sacred space restores our peace of mind and enables us to stand back from the turmoil in our lives in order to provide a place where we can reconnect with our sense of self and reclaim our power. Exploration of sanctuary is to create a link to the Divine as our soul asks us to love, accept, and provide hospitality to ourselves when we are spiritually hungry. Spirituality is more than a psychological and emotional need: it is an inherent biological need as our energy, our spirit, and our personal power is all one and the same force.
