take me to that happy place...

Here I am, lying in bed on a rainy Tuesday morning in Bristol. The school year has only just begun, so I haven't been called in to work today, and the day is mine... I promised myself I would make the most of these days off work because as the weeks roll by, work will get busier and busier and I will begin to have a little less time for myself...

What excites me about today is that my small list of 'things to do' is propelled by creating a happy space for myself - in my room, in my head, my heart, and my soul.

First of all, I have promised myself that I will clear the energy in my room and create a loving, nurturing, inspiring space for myself. I've found that I haven't been sleeping very well lately and also that I haven't been feeling as inspired or balanced when I wake up in the morning, so I'm going to buy myself some dry sage and burn it in my room to clear the energy. I will place it in a small bowl and burn it similarly to incense - the smoke from the sage will clear to energy, which is a simple way to re-balance the energy in any space of yours if you feel it needs to cleansed and re-vitalised.

I will also buy myself six, small rose quartz crystals to grid my room similarly to how I gridded the bottom floor of my house with citrine and black tourmaline - by placing one rose quartz crystal at each of the six points of the Star of David. I hope that this formation will create the loving, nurturing, and inspiring space that is intended.

 

Next on my list is to make my way down to Castle Green Park in the centre of town, where I will buy the most amazingly tasty hazelnut latte from a lovely French man and his small coffee cart. I will take my latte to a small space in the park, read The Ringing Cedars series, write some inspiring and motivating thoughts, wants, and ideas in my notebook, meditate with my bare feet on the grass, pull angel cards, people watch, and write letters to my family back home.

My trips to Castle Green have currently become that happy place of mine. Where's your happy place? You know, that space where you feel most inspired, happy, safe, comfortable, and creative thoughts just come flying your way and put a smile on your face... That space where you feel most like 'you'.

I've attached a link here to an amazing website where - if needed - you might just find some beautiful inspirations to help you create that special space for yourself. Be inspired. Go here...
