Project Calm – July 2019

103

One of my favourite things to do is to create

an altar. This is a place where you can set your

intentions, pray, offer your dreams and wishes. It is

a sacred space in your home that is an anchor point.

I love to include special items such as crystals,

candles and things that I find in nature, maybe

feathers, rocks, sticks, leaves and pine cones.

INGREDIENTS:

An altar cloth or a beautiful piece of fabric

Any items that you feel are sacred to you (such as

crystals, rocks, fresh flowers, feathers, candles)

Before you begin, take a few moments to tune in.

What is your intention in creating this altar?

Lay the altar cloth or fabric in your chosen space

and begin placing the items on it. Think about what

each item represents to you. Place all your pieces

on the altar, creating something beautiful and

aesthetically pleasing to you. Bring all your love,

all your focus.

Visit your altar every day. You may like to write

down your prayers or wishes and place them under

one of your objects. Keep checking with your altar:

it is an extension of you – does anything need to be

moved, taken away or added? Bring freshness and

newness to your altar by offering fresh flowers.

Gather your favourite things and

harness a sense of focus.

Unwind and nourish your

health with a daily self-care

ritual, such as lighting a

candle. Give yourself time

each morning or evening to

be mindful, and help you feel

more connected to yourself.
