Sacred Sultry Space

Lately I've been feeling a bit, "out of orbit" you could say. I finished my previous job and am in the middle of government paperwork and visas to get to my next job. I can no longer live in my previous apartment as the lease has run out. I don't have the money to pay for a whole years worth of rent plus deposit up front (that's how they do it in China) so essentially I am relying on the generosity of my significant other for a place to stay during this transitional period in my life. It's incredibly humbling, and I am so grateful to him. And, it's difficult for me being the independent individual and personality type that I am. I'm attempting to find the balance between making a sacred space for myself where I can feel the chaos end and peace begin, not changing his house too much as it's first of all not my house, and second, it's meant to be a temporary arrangement. Luckily he's a flexible guy when it comes to changing home decor a bit! Thank God!

It's been about 5 weeks since I finished my last job and there is still no word on when I will begin the next one. So, in an attempt to maintain my sanity (lol) I created this sacred space for myself and I wanted to share that with you. In the process of such intense change it can be so easy to lose touch with yourself. To forget to set aside time to deeply connect with yourself, your emotions, your thoughts, your mindset, and your heart posture. I often get swept up in the chaos of all the newness and neglect such integral aspects of my wellbeing. And while I may not always feel the effects immediately, eventually I do -- the longer it goes on unchecked the harder it hits when finally checked! Take a moment to check in with yourself -- make sure you’re caring for the intimate parts of yourself no one else can cater to.

In this transition, I’ve recognized the importance of maintaining contact with myself and I’ve been working on creating an actual space -- a sacred space where I can begin to manifest my growth, enter into uninterrupted prayer, and experience peace in such a chaotic existence. Here is the beginning of the creation of my sultry sacred space, a place I can explore my spice, my prayer, my professional, and my creativity safely. A space where my self expression can take on more forms and evolve over time. A space where I can see the tangible growth and honor each step along the way.

I encourage you saints reading this to check in with you and to consider what a sultry sacred space looks like for you -- whether or not creating one is in alignment with your best self and your best life. If it is, consider the things in life that bring you joy, creativity, peace, excitement, pleasure, fun, spice, and light. I urge you to even make a list of some of those things and then once you have your list whether in your mind, on your phone, or written on paper -- find ways to incorporate those things into your sacred sultry space. Bring that space to life so that it may bring you to life!
