While altars are something most of us know about, and maybe even have in our home, you may not have heard of the Morning Altar practice, which helps us simultaneously tap into our creative potential, elemental communication, and connection to the divine.
In this episode, we're joined by the insightful Claire Takahashi, a Creative Earth Coach who facilitates the teaching of this transformative practice in order to reconnect with both nature and ourselves. Prepare to embark on a journey unlike any other, as Claire unveils a perspective on Morning Altars that is nothing short of magical.
Tune in, open your hearts, and let the magic of Morning Altars awaken your spirit as we explore:
- The profound concept behind Morning Altars - what actually are they?
- How this modern practice is a renewing of a custom and expression that’s been an integral part of humanity's tapestry for thousands of years.
- The difference between Morning Altars and a typical sacred altar
- Claire’s definition of what an altar is meant to encompass
- Ways to create your very own Morning Altars
- How creating Morning Altars can help us connect more deeply with our crystals
- How Morning Altars can be a form of meditation for those who don’t connect with traditional sitting meditation
- The art of slowing down, and listening to the messages bestowed upon us by our environment
- How Morning Altars can jumpstart our creativity, re-engage with play, and help us energetically and mentally release the perfectionism that hinders our ability to create
- How creativity is actually healing in both the physical and spiritual planes, and vital to our human experience
- Why Morning Altars enables us to both uniquely express ourselves while engaging in a transformational experience
