Have you ever walked into a space and the energy was just off? Maybe the lighting wasn't welcoming, or the chairs were uncomfortable, maybe the colors didn't match your energy. Small elements can play a major role in creating a spiritual ambiance in your home or place of work.


Your living and working space is more than just a physical environment; it has the power to influence your overall well-being and spiritual growth. By intentionally designing your space, you can create a sacred sanctuary that promotes peace, tranquility, and a deep connection to yourself and the world around you. These are some elements that I have found make my space grounding and peaceful with a warm, welcoming energy. 1. Incorporate Natural Elements: Nature has a way of grounding us and connecting us to something greater than ourselves. Indoor plants can become companions - mine definitely are. Watching my plants grow and flourish brings me joy - and it might do that for you too! Including natural materials such as wood, stone, and plants into your space can add a touch of serenity, but it will also infuse your space with the natural frequency of the earth which uplifts your energy too. 2. Soft Lighting: Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a spiritual ambiance in your space. Bright white, florescent lights give me the feeling that I am in a hospital and it's not comforting; I feel like I have to be at attention all the time. By simply changing light bulbs to warm a yellow light and using candles - it transforms a space entirely. Warm lighting creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere; one where you can cuddle up on the couch with a gorgeous cup of tea and feel at peace. Himalayan salt lamps, and fairy lights can add a touch of magic to your space too! 3. Soothing Colors: Colors have a profound impact on our emotions and energy. Think about it, each color has a certain emotion tied to it. For example: green is usually associated with the environment and peace. Red can mean love but also danger. I would recommend choosing a color palette inspired by nature, such as earth tones, soft blues, and gentle greens. These colors promote a sense of calm and harmony, allowing you to relax and connect with your inner self. 4. Incorporate Sacred Symbols: Sacred symbols hold deep meaning to your soul. These can enhance the energy of your space. You may be drawn to a certain symbol that you have seen before and you are attracted to these symbols for a reason. The Law of Attraction speaks about how our thoughts influence our energy and our energy influences our frequency. If a symbol can provoke positive thoughts and feelings; it is automatically enhancing your energy and serves as a reminder for you to keep thinking those positive thoughts. 5. Declutter and Organize: A cluttered space can create mental and energetic blockages. Trust me, I have experienced this many times! After a good decluttering session, I feel like a completely different person. Take the time to declutter and organize your space; it will leave you feeling lighter. I like to incorporate storage boxes that look good and match my earth inspired home. Having everything in its place creates a sense of calm and clarity. 6. Personalize Your Space: Infuse your space with objects, artwork, and mementos that hold personal meaning and resonate with your spiritual journey. I have crystals that I have collected during my spiritual journey and I look at these everyday in passing - it always brings me a sense of comfort that I am on the right path. When I went on a retreat, I kept roses from the alter to serve as a reminder of the incredible experiences I had. These items can remind you of your intentions and aspirations, creating a space that is uniquely yours. 7. Create a Meditation Corner: Meditation plays an important role in your spiritual journey and having a dedicated meditation corner can allow you to escape and practice your mediation in a safe space that you created. This can be a cozy corner with cushions, blankets, and a small altar. Fill this space with items that inspire and make you feel good and at peace. Remember, designing a spiritual ambiance is a personal and creative process. Trust your intuition and let your space reflect your unique journey. I am sharing some of my ways that have made me fall in love with my home. We spend a significant amount of time in our homes and by creating a sacred sanctuary in your home, you are nurturing your growth and well-being. Embrace the power of intentional design and let your space become a reflection of your inner world. When you raise your vibration, you are raising the vibration of the collective.
