Choose your sacred place and honor your intention by stating it out loud. It s helpful to place objects that support your spiritual journey into your special place. These could be a personal altar, photos of loved ones, statues, candles, or books. As your needs change, the things you bring there will change as well. Your intention will become a part of your sacred place, and even walking past it or thinking about it can connect you for a moment to your true self.
Many people meditate who have no religious affiliation or particular spiritual path.
Meditation has been proven to have numerous positive effects on physical and mental health. While a spiritual goal is not necessary for meditation practice, it often finds its way quietly into the mind even when not sought. It can be for many people. The goal of prayer, like meditation, is unity with the Holy. Copyright Michele Ritan.
