Altars and sacred spaces can be beautiful reminders for us to pause and connect with the inner and outer beauty that surrounds us. When we fill a room with cherished objects, it creates a sense of peace, harmony, love, and joy that can truly uplift our spirits. 

Having an altar in your bathroom can be a comforting practice, offering a space to start and end your day with intention and mindfulness. It’s a small yet meaningful way to nurture yourself and find tranquility in your daily routine.

Here are some simple steps to create a sacred space and altar:

 

• Make sure the room is clean and clutter-free, and you can shut the door for privacy. 

 

• You may want a space heater if the room is drafty or you tend to get cold. Adding a small chair or meditation cushion can make this time even more comfortable.

Now, for the fun part: creating an altar:

 

• To begin, collect items that hold personal significance, such as seashells, crystals, stones, photos, candles, and possibly a spiritual figure statue. Ideas are endless as long as each object you choose invokes a feeling of beauty deep within yourself.

 

• Arrange the chosen items by placing them next to the sink, on the side of the bathtub, or on a shelf. If needed, use a tray to carry them to and from the designated area. You may prefer a simple arrangement with one or two items or an ornamental one with many; it is up to you and your intuition!

 

• Set the intent that this is your sacred space, your holy altar. A place of beauty and harmony. A place to be alone and connect. A space to honor the beauty within and all around.

 

 

And that is your sacred space and altar for all your skincare rituals.
