Your
Peace Altar - real
simple, real powerful
I have an altar in my living room, right on
my coffee table that brings me a sense of immediate peace just by looking at it.
Sitting in front of this altar when you perform your peace ritual is most
beneficial. I'll show you how to create one for yourself.
One of the most important things to remember
when creating any altar is to include symbols for the four elements; Fire,
Earth, Water, and Air. This makes for a nicely balanced altar and draws
Universal energy to you. It lets the Universe know that you are serious!
The symbols I used for my Peace Altar are:
Calla Lilly - Symbol for peace.
Water - Symbol for emotions and the element
of water.
Stones - Symbol for grounding and the
element of earth.
Candles - Symbol for Spirit and the element
of fire.
Incense - Lighting incense is part of
consecrating your altar and is the symbol for air.
Kuan Yin - Symbol for compassion and
understanding.
Books - Symbol (for me) of knowledge.
Knowledge is power. Use books that are empowering and meaningful to you.
You can buy fake Calla lilies at Michael's
or Hobby Lobby that look real. It is
OK if you do not use real Calla lilies, although it would be nice to have the
"real" ones. Because the
Calla Lilly is on our altar for symbolic reasons, we can use the manufactured
kind. But DO put water in the vase
you use to hold them.
Arrange the items on your altar to that they
create a sense of balance. Try to
have the tallest (the lilies in this case) in the back or off to one side and
the smaller items in front.
You will see that I also have Mala beads on
my altar. You can add prayer beads
of any kind to any of your altars as a symbol that connects you to the Divine
Mother.
You can place this altar anywhere in your
home. It doesn't have to be on your
coffee table. However, you will want
to choose a space that allows you to easily sit before your altar. Performing
your forgiveness ritual before this altar is very empowering.
You will walk away from it a different person than when you began.
I guarantee it!
