My Sacred Space Isn't an Actual Space

For me, my sacred place isn’t about a physical location. There’s no specific place that I go to to unwind and just escape the world. Instead, my sacred space is more about the people that create an environment for me where I can be completely open and have no worries.  My sacred space is when I’m in the presence of my moms. In my space, there is no judgement, and anything in the world that bothers me just kindof goes away for however long I’m in that place. In my sacred space, I know I’m always safe and supported and well-understood, and that’s what makes it so sacred to me.

    The time that I spend in my sacred space has a huge influence on the rest of my life. For starters, it keeps me grounded and calm throughout even the toughest of situations. I can go there stressed out of my mind or struggling with something and by the time I leave, I’m calm, level-headed, and have a better understanding of my priorities. My sacred space allows me to take the compassion that I receive and pass it on to others. If I didn’t have this sacred space, I don’t think I’d be as empathetic or accepting. I think i’d be the kind of person I could never imagine myself being without my space.
