How I did it: I gave up on using my “secret underground lair” for a sacred space/altar since it would have meant going into the basement far more than I’d prefer and cleaning out old paint cans.



So I realized I was not using well the closet in that art room.



Turned an old wardrobe around to separate the space from the rest of the room, found an old carpet that providentially had the zodiac printed on it, built 3 small altars (to Evolutionary Growth, Love, and Money) pointing in 3 important bagua directions, and found a home for both metaphysical books of all stripes, crystals, incense, etc.



now am FINALLY able to meditate/pray daily!

Lessons & tips:

• having a separate place like a room is ideal; that lacking, any place that can be physically closed off is great
• every day go in there at least once a day to center yourself or go 'traveling', take your pick
• don't try to make it a big production or else it will never happen
