What if you had a simple, daily practice that helped you feel more connected, resilient, and focused on living the life of your dreams? JMM Consulting’s Sacred Time / Sacred Space (ST/SS) is your secret weapon to doing just that. This transformative personal practice supports an unwavering focus on feeling good and beginning your day with clarity, intention, and self-awareness. It’s designed to help you build resilience and capacity for living a more profound, fulfilling life.
The Power of Sacred Time / Sacred Space
The magic behind ST/SS is its simplicity and consistency. When you create a practice that is predictable, personal, and sacred to you, you build a foundation of safety and security. These qualities anchor you through life’s challenges and help you tune in to what truly matters—your well-being.
Imagine starting each day grounded, calm, and clear-headed, ready to take on the world. ST/SS gives you the tools to create that reality, day in and day out.
As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Here’s how you can incorporate ST/SS into your daily life:
1. Choose Your Sacred Space
The first step in this practice is to select a private, peaceful place. This space can be anywhere in your home or outdoors if your climate allows. The key is to make it intentional, welcoming, and personal to you—like a warm towel after a refreshing shower.
Your Sacred Space should include things that bring you joy and comfort. Consider adding:
• Comfortable seating with a throw
• A yoga mat for stretching
• Soft lighting or candles with your favorite scent
• Inspirational books, art, or photographs
• A tabletop fountain for the sound of water
• A small speaker for playing music that relaxes or energizes you
This is your sanctuary, so be mindful of what elements make you feel at ease..
2. Choose Your Sacred Time
Set aside a specific time each morning for your ST/SS practice. This could be as little as 20 minutes. The key is consistency—choose a time that works with your routine and possibly link it to something you already do, like your morning tea or coffee or stretching.
The more predictable this practice becomes, the more your body and mind will recognize it as a safe, restful time to focus inward.
3. Create Your Sacred Menu
Every day is different, and so are your needs. To make the most of your ST/SS, create a "menu" of options that you can choose from based on how you’re feeling in the moment. Some things may include:
• Journaling your thoughts, feelings, or intentions
• Meditation or breathing exercises
• Creative activities like drawing, coloring, or playing an instrument
• Listening to a sound bath
• Mindful observation of your surroundings, focusing on textures, scents, and sounds that anchor you in the present moment
Mini Daily Assessment
Ask yourself these three questions each day to boost your self-awareness:
1. What’s your energy level?
2. How are you feeling physically?
3. If you could be, do, or have anything in this moment, what would it be?
Take note of these reflections, either in a journal or a note on your phone, and notice any patterns that emerge over time. This will help you tune into your evolving needs and make choices that best support them.
The Benefits of Practicing Sacred Time / Sacred Space
Practicing ST/SS daily is transformative. As you integrate this practice into your life, you’ll notice a variety of positive changes that enhance your well-being.
One key benefit is the ability to regulate your nervous system, helping you manage stress more effectively and navigate challenging situations more easily. It also supports deepening relaxation, allowing you to unwind, release tension, and truly let go of the pressures of the day.
Another positive shift is increased clarity and focus. This daily practice sharpens your approach to managing your day, making it easier to stay organized, prioritize tasks, and move forward with a sense of purpose. Additionally, it leads to heightened awareness, helping you become more mindful of your surroundings and more deeply connected to the present moment.
As you practice ST/SS, you will experience improved listening skills and a stronger presence, enabling you to engage more meaningfully with those around you. Lastly, this practice can even contribute to a more robust immune system. Mindfulness activities have been shown to boost physical health and overall wellness.
Investing time in this simple practice daily will improve your mental and physical health and help you stay aligned with your dream. Your ST/SS practice will naturally adapt to meet your evolving needs and desires as you continue to grow and evolve.
