Creating an Astral Temple
First of all, what is an Astral Temple and what is its use?
Firstly, the name really is misleading, because it’s not
really on the astral plane but in your mind. You are your own temple. However,
due to the very nature of the Astral Plane, you can create your temple there
once you’ve created it in your mind.
Like anything in the realm of mind or astral, this requires constant
maintenance. So maintain your Astral
Temple at least once a month at a minimum.
So what is the purpose of this temple? Well, it can be used
for anything you need it for. Whether it’s for ritual, just a quiet place to
get away to, spells, talking with other entities in a safe location (such as
spirits). Whatever you desire to use
your temple for is up to you.
Creating your temple
Start by drawing out a rough idea or writing out a general
list of attributes you’d like your temple to have. Does it have walls or is it
a labyrinth? Do you want it to be a sacred meadow surrounded by high stone
walls or a small cottage? These are all things you need to consider.
Next, think about the materials that you would need. Do you
want it made from stone, brick and mortar, a thatch style, the elements, etc…?
Now think of a key style you want to use. This is not to be
told to anyone, otherwise you will have to rethink it and remake your lock for
your temple.
This is the fun part. Visualize all of this. Start by
visualizing your area. Whether it’s in a meadow, in a bog, whatever. Start
building your temple “brick by brick”. You want to make sure your foundation is
out first so that you can build upon it, this is no different than your time in
your path. You need to lay your foundation and build upon it.
The next thing you need to do once your entire temple is
built up, is go through it. Walk through the door of your temple, and make
adjustments as you go. You can now create your altar, add carpeting to the
floor (if you have one), whatever it is you desire.
Remember that you can come back to this place just by
thinking about it. It will change as you change and as you want it to
change. You can invite your friends, or
create thought forms here. It really is
a free for all on your part.
A few things to remember: Meditation is key for
concentration so your temple is not a ghetto, unless that is how you designed
it to be. It’s important to keep it clean and free of clutter. Be focuses on
what you want, and creativity is important because your temple IS YOU.
A Clean Aura is a good idea, as well as cleansed and
balanced chakras, but you can also do that in your temple. ( I personally have
a special place in mine for healing and cleansing, this is a personal option
that you can choose.)
