our uniqueness . Creating sacred space in your body will inspire you to love , nurture , and care for your body grounded in gratitude for all your body does for you . You can befriend your body with healthy food , exercise , baths , massages , rest , and listening to what it needs . How will you engage with your body knowing it is sacred space ?
Remember as Jaeda DeWalt wrote , “ The calm within the storm is where peace lives and breathes . It is not within perfect circumstances or a charmed life ... it is not conditional . Peace is a sacred space within , it is the temple of our internal landscape . We are free to visit it , whenever we seek sanctuary . Underneath the chaos of everyday living , peace is patiently awaiting our discovery ... go within .”
The more we intentionally create sacred space in our lives , the more we will connect to peace , joy and meaning — the art of self-nurturing !
May you find many ways to embrace sacred space in your life , as you nurture peace in the world from the inside out .
Sending you peace , love and gratitude ,
