Crescent Magazine V3I2 "Sacred Spaces" Excerpt
from "Pathworking: Creating A Sacred Space Within"
by Dominae

The technique of pathworking or guided meditation is often used to explore the inner realms of one's psyche and other planes of existence.

Like hypnosis, pathworking uses relaxation and visualization to place a person in another place or time, where the current surroundings no longer exist and the realm of the mind is explored as though it were reality. When a person is able visualize and imagine situations quite clearly, it may be easy to sense, smell, hear and see a pathworking environment. But as it is with the realm of imagination, anything is possible in pathworking. Worlds are created and destroyed in a single thought.

This is a time when we are often stressed, searching for a place to be alone with our thoughts away from the demands placed upon us. Pathworking can be used not only to find a place to relax, but to actually create that place from scratch and make it completely personal, customized to your own desires and needs. As pagans it is rare that we would come across temples to the gods in our daily existence. But with pathworking as a tool, we can create our own temples and sacred places to worship, celebrate and explore our own spiritual paths.
