Creating Sacred Space

As we get into sobriety life becomes full. Taking the time to practice prayer and meditation can at times seem like one more item on the "things to do" list. Creating a sacred space that is away from reminders of things to get done can be an encouragement to practice more often.

The Sober Sites Directory is full of shops that carry the items to create that sacred space. Here are a few ideas.

PRAYER CARDS

Keeping a selection of prayer cards handy is always a great tool. Choose a small box, pretty business card holder or even a special mug/cup to keep your selection in your sacred space.

You can find a great selection of 12 Step prayer cards and Christian prayer cards at Cheryl's Bookmarks. http://www.cherylsbookmarks.com/


CANDLES & INCENSE

Candles and incense have been used in religious and spiritual practices for thousands of years. Candles are used from our birthday cakes to Baptismal candles, Menorah candles, marriage candles, and more. Smoke rising from incense and candles has been said to be a symbol of our prayers rising to heaven.

Add a candle or some incense to your sacred space for your formal prayer and meditations. Go to Serene Sensations for incense, incense holders and candles.

PRAYER BEADS

Keeping a set of prayer beads handy can aid in focus during your prayer and meditation time. Prayer beads have been used for hundreds of years in many different faiths. The earliest prayer beads were made of fruit pits, bones and dried berries.

Find Twelve Step prayer beads and directions for use at TwelveBeads.com.

GUIDED MEDITATIONS

There are times when our heads are so full of life that we need a little help with quieting and focusing. Keeping some meditation CDs near your sacred space can help tremendously with this.

You can find many styles of meditation CDs. There are those with music, some are subliminal and there are guided meditations. Spirit Step offers two recovery based guided meditations. These are great for every level of mediators from beginners to pros. Go to SpiritStep.com to get your guided meditation CD.

A custom hand made prayer kneeler embroidered with an inspiring slogan will bring comfort to formal praying. Just for Today, Let Go, Let God, Surrender and One Day at a Time are among the choices. You can also request a special message of your own.

BRAND NEW ON THE MARKET

STEP BY STEP 

A card game for 12 Steppers

 

A cross between Uno, Skipbo and Mille Bornes.

The object of the game is to get to Step 12 first.  BUT there are obstacles like the Self-Will cards that can carry you back to step 3.

  ON THE OTHER HAND there are Spiritual Toolkit cards that allow you to steal steps from other players..

Stinkin thinkin cards make you lose your turn and everyone is Happy when they draw a Happy Joyous and Free Card.  (they're wild). 

 Can be pretty exciting especially when someone is close and then they get sent back to 3 Or when you get to steal their step!
