I am dedicating n setting an altar for my God as He Has been faithful to my family through thick n thin. Thank u so much for your wonderful n insightful ideas. Bill, I completely agree… A dedicated time and space for the Lord is so essential. It shows honor for Him, and keeping that space set aside and going there to pray obeys Jesus’ command to go into your closet and shut your door when you pray. I can tell a huge difference between when I pray in my altar vs when I pray in my bedroom or another room, even. God honors places… Land is important to God.
I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what OYINBO did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can communicate with OYINBO through the below in formations.
Mala or Prayer Beads
I like to use a little cabinet so that our extra religious items can be stored underneath. It doesn’t have to be perfect and you can always move it later. 6- Encourage family members to use your prayer spot. If you want more divine presence in your home, bring in consistency in the place of prayer. God inhabits a home where a prayer altar is raised, and such home always becomes divine conduit. God’s glory is evident in and never departs from such home.
You can collect a wide range of items from your neighborhood or the outside world by thrifting or rummaging through your house. If so, please let me know if you would like to share some insights about your process and what its role is in your day to day life. An altar is a designated sacred space for worship, meditation, prayer, or practicing gratitude in your own living space.
How to Build a Sacred Space in Your Home
In many cultures, the burning of a candle, food, or another object is regarded as a sacrifice. Place candles and incense on a tray, an incense holder, or a glass container if possible to keep your altar safe. It is not uncommon for candles and incense to catch fire if they are not properly lit. If your altar is of religious significance, keep it in a place where it won’t be harmed by animals or children. An altar is a sacred space where you can connect with your higher power, whatever that may be. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you like.
It is common for intersectional feminists to keep an altar to nourish their spiritual health. It is not necessary to build elaborate altars for everyday spiritual practices. A church altar can be a formal place to worship, pray, and perform religious rituals. It can be used as a safe place to meditate, thank others, and reflect in addition to being a space for meditation, gratitude, and reflection. An altar can be as simple as a single bookshelf or as elaborate as a large spare room.
Can You Have An Altar In Your Home?
If you’d like to weave in a little magic, you can energetically ‘cleanse’ the space you choose by burning some incense or essential oils. Hi Danny, then I would recommend you use your room. 🙂 Set aside a corner or a specific spot and place your study materials there. Make that your place of prayer, holy to the Lord. Thanks and God bless am inspired I have being looking forward to know what it takes to maintain a personal altar now I know better.
Any candle that speaks to you works well for the purposes of a home altar. And because it’s so DIY and personalized, there are really only a few concrete guidelines that are important to follow when it comes to making your own. Thanks for reading, please leave your comments in the box below.
When you’re finished, thank the elements for their support and close your space with a final candle extinguishing. Ritualists have been emptying and cleansing the earth for thousands of years. To cleanse the space of negative energy, singalongs or claps your hands may be appropriate (e.g., clapping your hands or singing a song). Collecting items that are meaningful to you can help you make a decision. If you want to keep an altar, you can keep things like candles, feathers, oracle stones, crystals, photos, or tarot cards on it.

This will give you plenty of surface for your altar than can be easily tucked away. You’ll also have plenty of drawers and cubbies to store your altar supplies when not in use. If you want to keep your altar private or hidden for any reason then you’ll want to think about spots that are both easily accessible but also easily stored. This could be a drawer in your dresser or desk. Another thing that can be thrifted are cabinets.
If writing is a part of your practice, keep a special journal that holds within it your blessed energy. An important part of the yogic tradition is svadhyaya, or study of the Self through sacred texts, or shastras. Any text could have a special home on or near your altar. Make them accessible so they can be a regular part of your spiritual rituals. Feed your senses by providing “food” for each of them. Simply making your altar beautiful is a feast for the eyes, and a small bell or instrument creates sound that carries its energy to the ears.
