We offer a selection of home altars and shrines
for creating a sacred space in your home, office or business. These spaces offer the heart, the best of that which you honor as the highest love, and most sacred in life.
Altar table is the Christian phrase, which means an elevated place or structure before which religious (or spiritual) ceremonies are enacted. However, you can personalize an altar for prayer, meditation and spiritual practice as well. It does not have to be formal.
Shrine tables are used in the Eastern meditative and spiritual traditions to place sacred objects which create a place for veneration. The focus of either an altar or shrine is largely the same: to built sacred focus in your religious or spiritual life. These sacred spaces collect, concentrate and unite all of your best visions, dreams, values and beliefs like a reservoir collects water. Altars and shrines are a place to gather in order to focus your gratitude, blessings, aspirations, sacredness and offer up your heart and soul. You can create a loving zone of inner happiness, celebration and joy by having a shrine in your home.
Most cultures hold the belief that Altars and Shrines seem to capture the presence of the highest good, the divine and holiness.
The sacred space should have of offerings which represent virtue, positive energy and so forth.
Buddhists enhance the beauty of the shrine with copper offering bowls, shrine clothes of brocade, variious statues of Buddhas and teachers. Of course, you can create the shrine to honor your own tradition or preference for whatever sacred path you are affiliated with.
Be sure to visit the incense, gongs, katas, statues and music departments to finish the shrine room or sacred space with everything you need to create a place of beauty, rest and refreshment in your home.
