CREATE
SACRED SPACES
with crystals
HEY THERE
Crystal Family Member!
I’m Hibiscus Moon and I’m very happy to meet you.
And yes, you’re part of the Crystal Family now. I’m assuming if you’re
here reading this… ready to start drooling over the gorgeous crystals
and sacred space that awaits — then you’re a part of our family.
What makes us a family is that we all have something in common.
We’re absolutely captivated by crystals and know that they have the
unique ability to transform our spaces into something magically
enchanted and sacred.

Many years ago, I felt a deep desire for my very own sacred space.
A place where I could retreat to and just breathe...a place where each
restorative breath would spiritually replenish me.
I searched high and low for visuals on others’ sacred spaces; photos,
books, YouTube, magazines, videos, blogs, whatever I could get my
eyes on to inspire me. And what I really wanted to see was sacred
spaces that included crystals. I realized that those were my absolute
favorite to look at.
Of course, the lack of pre-existing visuals motivated me to create my
very own customized crystal sanctuary.
I’ve found many ways to use crystals to help create sacred space and
I’m thrilled to share what’s worked best for me and so many others with
this e-kit!
I hope, in turn, to inspire you to create and work with crystals in your
own sacred environment.
Many Radiant Crystal Blessings to You and Enjoy!

When I first started out creating my sacred space,
I wasn’t really sure what I wanted — except for the crystals.
So I started there.
I simply began to intuitively place crystals in a tiny corner of our guest
room, slowly building a little blessed spot all my own. I wasn’t sure about
anything at first, except that my space HAD to have crystals in it.
Those were my very first elements, before anything else and truly made
my space feel extra-special... as tiny as it was. I’ve since added many
other elements, not to mention I eventually booted that guestroom right
outta the house, taking over the entire room!
I’m not suggesting you do that.
It’s simply what was required for me to do my work and make the space
functional. Your sacred space can be as small as a corner of an out-ofthe-way closet if it needs to be. I’ve done it and it totally works! So work
with what you’ve got.
I simply started with what space I had and allowed my crystals to do
what they do best. This gave me a zone all my own that:
uplifted my spirits
allowed good vibes to flow
restored my soul whenever I needed it
My sacred spaces have definitely evolved over the years as have my
tastes, needs or even physical locations have changed.

This was my sacred space back in 2008 (be sure to check out my private
tour video included in this eKIT to see my current space)
Above you see my red meditation papasan next to my main altar which sat
under an East-facing window. I have a crystal grid hard at work on top of it
along with many other inspiring items sacred to me.
WHY SACRED SPACE?
Part of the reason most of us love crystals so very much is that many of
them resonate with the very frequencies that influence a quiet, inspiring
space for rituals like prayer, meditation, yoga or quiet time for creating and
journaling.

Maybe you’re just craving a little spot to relax and let go.
A place to renew.
There’s a very good reason that we crave a serene space of
our own. Turns out, the environment we surround ourselves
in is extremely important.
About ten years ago, Yale conducted a study where it
was proven that if you simply held a warm and comforting
cup of coffee rather than a cold one, it caused the test subjects
to treat people in a more generous caring manner. So essentially,
if we don't take control of our environment, it takes control of us!
I’ll venture to take the Yale study’s concept a bit further (because I’ve
experienced it for myself and have witnessed it for so many others!) and
say that crystals can and do influence our environment and therefore our
behavior and well-being in a beneficial way; whether you’re holding,
wearing them or keeping your space infused with their energy.
If you simply enjoy just looking at crystals then crystals are allowing you to
thrive. So, is creating a sacred space you can thrive in important?
You bet it is!
We have an innate need for nourishing our spirit, don’t we? A place that
allows you to feel more centered, grounded and happy!
You can create just that with crystals to help you along. It’s totally within
your reach. I’ve noticed that having my trusty sacred “bliss lounge” allows
me to easily slip into that centered and grounded flow, which, in turn,
guides me to easily enter “the zone” when I’m doing energy work,
meditating, working, or creating.

Also, I’ve heard others say this (and find it to be very true myself)... doing
sacred things in my sacred space “feeds” it and allows it to grow stronger.
The more time I spend doing anything sacred in my space, the more sacred
it becomes. It’s like a positive feedback loop. Spending time in your space in
an intentional manner actually raises your vibration, which is a boon for
amplifying your intuition… always a good thing.
A SACRED SPACE ALLOWS YOU TO:
Calm your mind and bring peace to your soul
Create your own special spot to uplift and support you
Shift out of the mundane everyday bits into serenity...your very
own #BlissLounge
Connect with the abundance of your higher self
Awaken your spirit or your creative muse (have you been in a
slump or dry spell lately?)
Connect you to the Universe itself!
WE NATURALLY CRAVE AN ENVIRONMENT
THAT FEELS ENERGETICALLY WELCOMING.
A home or workspace that’s vibing with feel-good energy is one that you feel
at home in, that you feel positive in, that inspires creativity and good
conversation. It’s a place you enjoy doing your favorite things in or allows you
to relax, meditate, read… and on and on.
Since a good-feeling space is not a vibrational match to negative feeling
frequencies, you’ll be less likely to have arguments, sadness, or even uneasy
feelings in a space that’s been energetically-tended-to.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CREATE
SACRED SPACE?
Sacred space is not just a place reserved for special ceremonies or rituals,
although it lends itself perfectly to that.
There are many times when having a sacred space comes in quite handy.
It’s an ideal spot to retreat to when you want to communicate more clearly
with spirit guides, your higher power or even your own higher self.
In the past, I’ve also enjoyed using my space to do more mundane tasks,
preferring to do my work at my desk in sacred space… since I often see my
work as a sacred act in and of itself.
I've since evolved to having a separate office space but that’s just because
I now have the extra room.

You can also choose to use this area as a spot to do your daily yoga or
meditation practice or simply as a place to calm and center yourself on a
daily basis. We all need some o’ that!
My sacred space is also a place where I come to contemplate important
things or to make significant decisions about anything.
You can even choose to create a simple but sacred evening
or morning routine ritual around your special space.
Your sacred space is
where you can find
yourself again and again.

HOW TO CREATE A SACRED SPACE
Step by Step
The good news is there are some easy vibrational things you can do (some
involving crystals of course :)) to help make your space more inviting while
creating a sanctuary for yourself. Keep in mind, these are just guidelines,
not rules so feel free to let your imagination run wild + get creative:
1. Figure out where this space will be.
Is it a whole room, a closet corner or does it need to be portable (a
traveling space to-go… like in a hotel room)? Then plan accordingly.
2. Clear the clutter and do some physical cleaning
I know this one doesn’t feel like much fun and not even very metaphysical,
but it’s a must-do before you do anything else!
A space that’s filled with clutter or dust is energetically clogged and
does not allow the energy to flow, nor does it allow the stagnant negative
feeling vibes to clear out. So, get to de-cluttering first and then dust,
vacuum and just make the space sparkle.
If you’re able to, open a window or two first. Let that stank, stale out, out,
out! Then do a physical cleaning; dust, vacuum, scrub, whatever - just get it
clean and fresh. You’ll feel the change right away!

3. Make it comfy!
If your space isn’t someplace you just LOVE to be in, if it’s empty, bare,
uncomfortable, messy and cluttered… then it won’t feel sacred to you.
Put some comfy pillows for seating, use pretty scented candles and
have some great things to look at - like GORGEOUS SPARKLY
CRYSTALS (yes, I’m obsessed).
4. Use essential oils
100% pure essential oils (organic fair-trade and sustainably harvested
preferred!) are high vibing. You can add them to your space in a couple
of ways: use an oil diffuser or burner, dot some on your wrists and third
eye when in your space or you can actually use them to help clean in the
above step.

Then once the cleaning is done, keep the vibes high in your space by using
the oils in an oil burner or a diffuser.
5. Salt Lamps
These are great for inducing negative ions into your environment and for
restructuring the energy of our environment. Plus they shine a soft beautiful,
and comforting light that does wonders for our energetic state.
I have a full-on blog post all about salt lamps and their benefits here.

And these days you don’t even have to go to a specialty metaphysical shop
to get them! You can find them in any home-y type store. I found these in
Bed, Bath and Beyond…

Some crystals are a must-have for this type of space; rose quartz, amethyst
and smoky quartz are great choices. You may choose to use an altar
holding several crystals or a crystal grid here too. It’s all up to you and what
feels right.
Just having the crystals in your space will entrain the energy around you.
Whenever you enter the space, you’ll feel the difference from a space that
isn’t as vibrationally aligned.

6. Crystal Placement
Simply place crystals throughout your space intuitively; wherever you think
they feel or look best. That’s where they’ll work best for you~!
7. Crystal Grids
Creating a crystal grid is an ideal way to organize or structure the energy from
your crystals towards a specific intention. So it’s more advanced than just
placing a crystal in the space.
I have a blog post here that I wrote all about
how to do a crystal grid. It’s kinda my thang.

Something I really like to do to restructure the energy
of the space is to grid the entire room.
You can grid a room by simply taking four clear quartz points and putting
one in each corner facing inwards towards the center of the room. Then
just let them communicate with each other.
8. Smoke Cleansing
Smoke cleanse consciously. I used to like to sage smoke cleanse for the
purposes of purifying and clearing out but I’ve since learned that we’re
endangering the plant due to overharvesting so I’ve switched to other
smoke cleansing herbs. We have options:
Grow your own and avoid wild harvested.
We’re looking for sustainability here.
If the seller doesn’t know where it came
from then avoid.
Go with juniper
Black sage
Cedar
Rosemary
Smoke Cleansing Tips: Burn it slowly (after you light it blow out the flame
and it will continue to smolder and smoke) in a fireproof safe bowl, dish or
shell- like an abalone shell.
We do this to clear the space energetically. Remember to do your
energetic cleaning again whenever you feel your space needs it or
whenever the energy just feels “stuck or yuck”.
Allow the smoke to waft around and smoke cleanse the space.

Some like to use a feather or a ceremonial fan to control where the smoke
goes a bit, like into tight corners and to help spread the smoke around.
It also helps to keep the smoldering herb lit.
NOTE:
You can use a gem elixir smoke cleanse spray that incorporates transmuting
crystals such as Smokey Quartz or Black Tourmaline if the smoke from
burning herb will bother you.

9. Sound Clearing
We can easily use acoustic energy to restructure the energy of our
space as well (it’s all about sound vibrations). Very easy to do!
You can use any sort of high amplitude (loud) acoustic instrument,
but I prefer to use something that’s pleasing to my ears and FEELS
sacred to me...items such as:
Tingshas
Crystal singing bowls
Hand drum or tambourine
10. Let Mother Nature In
There are many more options than this. Open up the windows and
grow indoor plants. Mother Nature induces negative ions and that’s a
GOOD THING for our spaces. So as much as possible allow nature into
your space.
HOW OFTEN?
I’m usually asked how often we should do these things to keep our
spaces sacred and energetically tended to. My feeling is you can never
do too much of it… but if I had to give you a guideline, I’d say shoot for
once per month. And if something has occurred in your space that has
made you feel uncomfortable or bad in any way then do something
right then to raise the vibes.

MY SACRED SPACE TOUR
I love to keep a door hanger like this on the door as you enter the room.
It’s both a reminder to me that I’m entering a place of peace and
harmony as well as a signal to others that I would rather not be
disturbed.

Crystals can be found throughout the room. Here’s a natural fluorite
octahedron on my talking/writing stick.
My crystal companions here are constantly evolving. I usually have a crystal
grid of one sort or another that I’m currently working with set up on different
altars throughout the room. Incorporated in the grid below is my large
Amethyst point who does some pretty heavy-duty work.
I work with this area daily, sending spiritual healing energy distantly through
this crystal grid.

I always like to keep an area to meditate in. I now meditate every morning
and this space has been instrumental in guiding me to do that. I always
have an altar set up (equipped with all the little tools I use in meditation and
any current crystals I’m working with) and my meditation cushion to make
it inviting and comfortable.

I keep all my sacred objects in this room; gem elixir essences
and spray, candles, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, and of
course "crystals, crystals everywhere".

I regularly smoke cleanse this space for additional cleansing and clearing.
This is the place that I consider to be my sanctuary, where I connect with
Source Energy, and come away feeling divine.
Here we see my abalone shell that I use to burn various herbs, along with
my smoke cleanse fan, which incorporates turquoise for its protective
qualities. Next to that is a brilliant aqua colored stone: gem silica. Gem
silica is a stone that brings about feelings of joy and peace while
enhancing communication and connection with goddess energies.

Let this entire gift be just a little springboard
for you to come up with your own special sacred space
customized to you and your needs.
And don’t overthink it.
However you set it up, it’s not permanent. It’s going to evolve
and change right along with you over the years. You’re free
to set it up once or change it up with the seasons or special
holidays you celebrate or as often as you like. It can also
change as your ideas of what’s sacred change or as your
needs do.
Do whatever feels good!
And you can create this space wherever you are… and I do
mean wherever! I’ve had my SUPER CREATIVE Crystalline
Cohort students create these in a closet, a desk drawer at
work, or a glove compartment in their car!!!
So yep — ANYWHERE.
