Sanctuary

One of my sisters (I have four) has a room we call "The Cave." It is our sanctuary. I smile when I recall the countless hours we've spent up in that room talking, laughing, writing in our journals, stretching, meditating, having a glass of wine or a breakthrough. The colors in the room are themed around a print of Starry Night hanging on the wall - rich blues, aquas and gold - like the ocean.  She often plays what I call "tinkly spa music" with flutes and Asian chimes. She has objects that she loves placed around the room with care and attention. She lights delightful smelling candles like pineapple cilantro and lavender. I feel so peaceful up there. I feel like I can think through situations and challenges with more clarity. I often think that everyone needs a place like this, a sanctuary where they can go to step away from the world and reset.  Do you have a sanctuary? Is it in your home? A yoga studio? A place in nature? What makes it feel comforting to you? If not, where would you consider creating your sanctuary? I'd love to hear about it!
