Why Creating Sacred Space is Important

My first and foremost responsibility when I give a session is to keep the client safe. To achieve that, a “sacred space” must be created that is sacrosanct from any energies that might want to obstruct or interfere with the healing process.

The spiritual universe is a place of infinite possibilities, both dark and light. For everyone who makes a profound spiritual effort, there will be beings of darkness that will try to sabotage and oppose it.

The universal law of free-will states that every soul has the right to make its own choices, with regards to its own consciousness. The thoughts, beliefs and feelings we hold onto will determine our spiritual destiny. We don’t get to choose every experience we have, but we do have a choice about the thoughts we hang onto as a result of them. Will we choose dark thoughts such as bitterness and anger, or will we choose love? The choice is up to us. Ultimately it is as simple as this: our thoughts determine our spiritual reality.

The sacred right to choose our thoughts is therefore essential to our spiritual autonomy and evolution. This right is protected by our psychic boundaries. This is why all Beings of the Light respect those boundaries. But this is not so for the beings of the darkness. They seek to violate our boundaries, usurp our energy, and prevent us from progressing spiritually.
What can we do about this? If darkness had its way, no one would ever awaken spiritually, and we would all remain in a perpetual state of delusion.

Fortunately, this is not the case. The Spiritual Great Ones can offer support and protection. But because they uphold the law of free-will, they will only intervene on our behalf if we ask. That is why all of those who seek to do spiritual practice, meditation, or healing, should request the protection of the High Holy Beings in order to create sacred space.
A few examples such Beings of the Light are Jesus Christ, and Buddha, but there are many, many more.¹ These are the Great Masters who assist in the spiritual growth of all of humankind. But in addition to these Great Ones, every soul has its own special Spiritual Guides and Protectors.

How to Create Sacred Space

We create sacred space by invoking the powers of healing and of the Light. Either silently or out loud, we speak the names of the Spiritual Great Ones, and request their help. As has been said before, The Beings of the Light will not impose upon our free will. Thus, invoking Their help is of the utmost importance when creating sacred space. In addition to the Great Beings who watch over all of humanity, we may also request the assistance of our personal Guides and protectors. (If you have become aware of who they are.)

Ask that They allow into your sacred space only Beings that support the highest healing intention. Affirm also that entities that may want to undermine or diminish that intention not be allowed in our sacred space – for such beings are not of the Light.

When to Create Sacred Space I create Sacred Space whenever I feel the need for a safe refuge that is impervious to the energies of the darkness. I do this not only when I conduct sessions, but before I meditate, sleep – or anytime I feel the need for special blessings and protection.

What to Do When the Powers of the Darkness are Very Strong

There have been times on my spiritual journey when I have been confronted by dark energies that were so strong and terrifying that it was clear that I could not overcome them on my own. What do we do if we find ourselves in such a situation? How do we enlist the help of a Power so great that it can overcome any such energy, no matter how formidable?

The Spiritual Great Ones have that power. They can instantly transform an utterly dark situation into light. While we ask for Their assistance, it is helpful to visualize a sacred field of spiritual light all around us that is blessed with Their Presence. If you don’t know how to visualize such a field of sacred energy, it is enough to simply request the protection of the Spiritual Great Ones. But when you do that, be sure to ask sincerely with all the conviction of your heart.

1. In addition to the ones just mentioned, there are innumerable Spiritual Great Ones who bless and protect all beings who call out to them for support. Other examples are Mother Mary, Archangel Michael, Lord Krishna and the Goddess Lakshmi. Although they go by different names in different cultures, they are all embodiments of absolute Divine Love. ↩︎
