Altars

Connecting With Angels In A Sacred Space

A Sacred Space is a place and a moment when you are allowing yourself to be spiritually receptive, a place where you can sit and meditate or quietly just Be.

By creating an Angel alter you are setting your intention to the sacredness of the area and its’ purpose… connecting to the Angelic Realm.

This is the intent of creating a sacred space, an area where you are more receptive to Angels and the messages, guidance and Love they bring to you and where you create your own strong connection to your own spirituality through the acknowledgement of the Angelic presence in your life.

To speak to your Angels from your heart does not require a special place or an altar, some people, however, find the creation of a sacred space to be helpful and beneficial. Here’s how:

  1. Choose your space … a dedicated space for this purpose.
  2. Choose objects to place on your Angel alter that have a spiritual meaning and speak to you through your heart. Candles, incense, Personalized Angel Painting or Angel Print, figures, crystals, a beautiful cloth, plant, flowers, symbols of the heart, box ( I use mine for written messages and letters to my Angels).
  3. Remember … keep it beautiful and clutter free of such things as car keys, etc …
  4. You can add a comfortable chair, rug .. a comfortable place for you to be when you are following the steps below in connecting with your Angels or just to sit quietly … it is your space … make it comfortable.

Once you have your alter completed, dedicate it as an Angel alter and invite your Angels into your space and ask them to fill the space with their Love and Light … speak to them as you would a dear and beloved friend …

Welcome them with your Love. They are always with you, but now you are wanting to acknowledge them in your life and connect consciously with them.

To Connect With Your Angels:

  • Take time when you will not be disturbed. .. This is your time … Where comfortable clothing.
  • Play your favorite Angel music.
  • Light your candle ( white, purple or violet) making sure that it is in a safe container for burning.
  • Light incense or aromatherapy oils can be used in their special infuser. Frankincense, sandalwood, lavender or jasmine are good choices … the preference is yours.
  • Take some deep cleansing breaths and allow your body to relax … and as you relax focus your intent on connecting with your Angel.
  • You can ask to be connected to your Guardian Angel or an Archangel if you would like … Ask for them to join you … and feel their presence.
  • When you feel their gentle presence begin speaking with them … this can be done silently or out loud. You can write everything out in advance if it is something very detailed and if you would like to discuss it in letter form, you can put the note or letter on your alter and discuss the highlights in your verbal discussion letting them know the details are in the note or letter.
  • Remember, if you need their help … Ask for it.
  • When you are finished … Thank your Angels…
  • If you would like you can ask for confirmation of your discussion by asking for a symbol … it may not come immediately so be aware and open to their response in the next day or so. The symbol make come in unexpected ways … a song on the radio … a phrase stands out in a sign, a feather in an unlikely place … a thought floats through your mind that you know is not yours … just be open and receptive.

Listening becomes an important exercise for you … the answers come in the silence and in many forms …The more you work with the Angels the more comfortable, knowledgeable and receptive you will become in the forms of communication that works the best for your relationship …Many blessings,

Creating An Angel Altar

Angel altars are not necessary and they’re not used to pray to Angels, they give you a designated space that is set aside only for you and your Angels. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, it can be a book shelf or a small table in a corner of the room. But you want it to be somewhere you are comfortable. Where you’re able to relax, meditate and speak to your Angels.

No one can tell you exactly what to put on your altar. Put things that mean something to you, something that reminds you of your Angels. A pretty table cloth or place mat, stones, candles, incense, figurines of Angels, flowers, an Angel journal, a feather, a tabletop waterfall. Anything that feels good to you in that place is what should be there.

Once you have your altar all together, dedicate it as an Angel altar. Do not lay keys on it or allow it to get cluttered. Be respectful of your space. Call Angels to your altar and always make it a welcoming place for them.

Making A Shrine For Ganesh


Creating a home shrine is not difficult. The altar should be close to the floor if you plan to use it for puja and/or meditation. However when there are small children in the home it is often best to have it higher and out of reach.

For a Ganesha shrine, an image, or murti, of Lord Ganesha is placed at the center of the altar. A metal or stone image is best, but if not available there are two traditional alternatives:

  1. A framed picture, preferably with a sheet of copper on the back.
  2. A kumbha, which is a symbol of Ganesha made by placing a coconut on a brass pot of water with five mango leaves inserted between the coconut and the pot. The coconut should be husked but still have the fibers on the top.

Bathing the God’s image (murti) is a part of a puja and other ceremonies. For this, special arrangements may need to be made. Most simply, the murti may be placed in a deep tray to catch the water. After the bath, the tray is removed and the murti dried off, and then dressed and decorated.

Various items for the altar can include:

  • Water cups and a small spoon for offering water
  • A brass vessel of unbroken, uncooked rice mixed with enough turmeric to turn the rice yellow
  • A tray or basket of freshly picked flowers (without stems) or loose flower petals
  • A lamp
  • Small metal bell
  • Incense burner and a few sticks of incense
  • Fresh fruit
