You are the energetic center of your altar. The physical objects simply serve as mystical symbols, which allow you to transcend mundane thinking, by focusing your attention on beauty and universal truths.
Here are seven steps I would suggest to “build” your altar:
1. Choose a space in your home that is like “ a road less traveled.” It is best if the space does not have a lot of traffic — an area where others don’t walk around.
