a guide to creating you sacred space

[chris2504]

the following is an excerpt from the magick of reiki

" Orient yourself in your space and, if possible, stand facing North. Point your hand palms facing out in the direction of North and allow the Reiki energy to flow out to the perimeter of the room or whereever you want the boundary of the sacred space to be. (it can be through the walls or even beyond them.) Visualise the energy beaming from your hand, and turn Clockwise, creating a ring of the energy arround the space. Do this three times in total, with the intention of creating a sacred space."

Also make the intention that only that which is of the highest good be permitted to enter the circle, nothing of lower level vibration, negativity, or mal intent is allowed to enter. Ask that the circle be blessed with the universal love and light as well as the divine protection of arch angel michael.

Next facing North once again, Draw the Double cho ku rei (AKA the KRIYA symbol three times and chant its name three times each for each time it is drawn, doing so empowers the symbol and activates it.

next say the following:

"To the North , I invite the healers of the Earth and Body to be present. Hail and welcome."

next turn 1/4 the way clockwise facing east. Again draw the Kriya symbol three times and chant it name three times each for each drawing

then say:

"To the East, I invite the healers of Fire and the Soul to be present. Hail and welcome."

turning 1/4 turn clockwise facing south draw the Kriya symbol again three times and chant its name three times each for each drawing

then say:

"To the South, I invite the healers of Air and the Mind to be present. Hail and welcome."


finally turn 1/4 turn clockwise facing West. Draw the Kriya symbol three times more and canting its name three times each for each time drawn.

the say:

" To the South, I invite the healers of Water and the heart to be present. Hail and welcome."

Make the intention that all that is done with in the circle is done with the highest good.

It is imparative that you do not leave the circle until it has been released

to release the circle simply move in a counter clockwise motion starting with North

facing North
speak the following:

"To the North, I thank and release the healers of the Earth and the Body. Hail and farewell."

Facing West speak the following:

" To the West, I thank and release the healers of Water and the Heart. Hail and farewell."

Facing South speak the following:

"To the South, I thank and release the helears of Air and the Mind. Hail and farewell."

Facing East speak the following:

"To the East, I thank and release the healers of Fire and the Soul. Hail and farewell."

Face the North again, raising your hands, and move counterclockwise once (360 degrees), Imagining the ring of light expanding out infinitely

state the intention that you now release the circle and all that has been done into the cosmos and that it be done for the highest good.

Then as a final blessing/ thank you Bow with hands in gasho position and give the "Namaste" greeting

Doing so is like saying "so mote it be" or saying "it is so"

the above was a partial exerpt from the book " The Magick of Reiki" with little tweaks that i have added to the process of my own i hope this helps. let me know what you all think.

Thanks for posting this Chris, it has helped me to realise the feelings I have been experiencing in recent weeks.

I find that rituals like this are helpful, but they only provide temporary peace……which is great if you want to create a peaceful place for meditation, contemplation, attunements etc. but I believe that we all have the ability to create a permanent sacred space which is with us wherever we are.

Over the last few months I have performed many rituals in ‘the place where I live’……..I have smudged regularly, used Reiki, crystals, sound………..but still this place didn’t feel like home because I found no peace here. I became 2 different people………..at work I was always happy and smiling, talking to people, helpful……..managing to hide what was inside me for a few hours a day, but then I’d come back here, and the heaviness would descend on me…..at work on Fridays I could feel myself getting heavier inside, it would feel like I was being crushed from inside out………the weekend darkness was starting, and it would be with me until Monday morning, when most people have the ‘Monday morning blues’ I was happy to be back at work..

I never gave up though, I knew that I had a lot of healing to do, not just from the last few months, but from years of being in a destructive relationship, and from years before that too. When I first met Mick I was still living with my ex, so I went from one relationship straight into another one without taking time to ‘find myself’ again……I knew at the time that this was the right thing for me to do………but I didn’t know why……….now, sadly I do, and I’m happy that I followed my intuition and had the brief time that Mick and I had together.

I have spent the last few months looking at myself, looking inside myself and healing myself from within. I went away for a week recently with the intention of using that time to ‘start living again’, I visited friends and family and found that I was happy and at peace in all of their homes……….and then, towards the end of my holiday I found that I wanted to come back HOME.

Since I returned home I have managed to do many things that I had tried unsuccessfully many times before………..I have managed to turn the place where I live into my home……..I have spent months trying to personalise my home, but I never managed to do it, I couldn’t find the pictures I wanted for the walls, I couldn’t find the little personal touches that turn a house into a home……….but over the last few weeks I’ve managed to find them, they where there all the time in the shops that I go to regularly, some I have picked up many times before and then put them back because they didn’t feel right……….but now they do………and I understand why………because I now feel worthy of having these things, I now feel worthy of having a home……….and I know where my sacred space is…………it’s in my living room, in my bedroom, in my kitchen, in my bathroom, in my car, in my workplace, on the beach………….it’s everywhere I go, at all times, because it’s inside me………..it’s in my heart.

Today, while I was out shopping for fabric and decorations for my home I was listening to music on my mp3 player……a song came on that I have often listened to, and sung along to the chorus……….but for the first time, I heard/felt the opening lyrics to the song, and I knew for sure that I had found my sacred space………

”This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home”

We all have this sacred space inside us……by looking inside ourselves, changing what needs changing, accepting what can't be changed, becoming more positive, we all have to power to release it and take it with us everywhere we go.

With love
