How to Create an Inner Sanctuary

Creating An Inner Sanctuary

"The Best Place to Go If You Seek Solitude is Sometimes Within"

Once you have learned how to visualize, you can build a sanctuary or place that you find comforting. Your sanctuary can be anything you wish it to be.

Where do you go when you want to be alone with your own thoughts? Do you have a place where the world can't reach you if you don't want it to? Do you have a sanctuary?

You can create one in your mind that is even more peaceful than one in real life. If you can visualize images in you mind then you can build your own private space that no one else can enter. If you are not familiar with how to visualize, read the article Learning to Visualize.

Your inner sanctuary can be anywhere and can look like anything you choose. In it you can do anything you want and ask any question you want.

It can have a time theatre where you see events from your past, present or future. A transporter to take you anywhere in the universe at any time. And the ultimate computer that could answer any question that you had.

All you have to do now is design and build it. These steps will walk you through how to do exactly that.

Step 1 - Design Your Sanctuary

Where would your sanctuary be? A tropical place where it is warm and inviting with a sandy beach to walk on? A remote lodge in the mountains surrounded by no one? A private place in the city in a tower overlooking everyone else? Or even a fortress of solitude beneath the earth or in the arctic?

How big and what type of rooms would your sanctuary have? An entertainment room, an office, a research lab, a kitchen or anything else you desire.

What would be in each of the rooms? Imagine life a thousand years from now. What type of machines would there be? Choose the ones you want and include them in your inner sanctuary.

Step 2 - Build Your Sanctuary

If your sanctuary has only one room such as an office, imagine how large it would be and visualize this space. If it had many rooms imagine each one separately. You may want to begin with the location of your sanctuary first and work from the outside to the inside.

Imagine that you are walking through each of these rooms. Once you are satisfied then decide that you need to add the items each room will contain.

The most important room in your sanctuary should be very comfortable because it will be the one where you spend the most time. Include a large comfortable chair, an expansive wooden desk, a powerful computer or a complex communication system and anything else you can think of.

Each object that you place in any of your rooms can have any features that you wish. If you have built an office in your sanctuary and want a large display screen for business, entertainment or other purposes, then consider adding new features to it.

It could have the ability to replay historical moments, or project images from the future. If you furnish any of your rooms with a computer, imagine an immensely powerful computer in these rooms that can answer almost any question.

You could have a writing desk on which any sentence that you wrote would immediately be reviewed by William Shakespeare. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Step 3 - Using Your Sanctuary

You should always try to become relaxed before you enter your inner sanctuary. If you need help to do this, read the article Learning to Relax is Important to Your Success.

Once you are relaxed you should state that you are going to enter your sanctuary. It can be something like this:

"I will now enter my private inner sanctuary"

Repeat your statement several times either aloud or quietly and visualize being there. Walk into the private room that you created and sit or lie down. Or stroll along the tropical beach if you prefer.

If you have problems that you wish to solve, why not ask your supercomputer? It may be better if you have given your problems or questions some thought before you enter your sanctuary.

The inner private sanctuary that you create in your mind can be both a place to escape and where to find answers. You can always look look outside for peace and help but sometimes it's better to ...

look within yourself for what you seek.
