The Altar: Tools of Transformation

Creating an altar in the home serves as a focus for meditation and anchors a higher vibration in terms of energy. The altar transforms (alters) the energy of the surrounding environment. The altar radiates the higher frequencies which are experienced there in that space, which over time intensify so the altar then becomes the space where peace, joy, comfort and inspiration may be found. 

You can create a home altar as a place to focus your energies to help turn dreams into reality. “In ancient times, altars were built to serve as a focal point for human beings to connect to the divine,”

“Really what the altar is creating is a portal of prayer. It’s a gathering of all the symbols and representations that are important to you,” Aimee Bello, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Master, Los Angeles

Although formal altars can come in the form of a shrine or a memorial, and they can be dedicated to something you want or to someone, such as an ancestor or deity, use your own intuition to determine how to create your own. Someone else’s ideas are just that and no one way is the correct way! Altars work best when they are carrying the energy and essence of you who desires the transformation in your life, there is always a benevolent force, which is You, guiding you to choices for the best outcomes. 

If you are unsure, do some research and go with what compels you, what speaks to you.
