In Opening Sacred Space (also known as Opening the Four Directions) I set a clear intention as to what I'm calling in. If it is for a client in a healing session I ask that only those energies, elements or guides come in that are for the highest good of that client.
In this work, there is an opening to spirit, to another world. If I don't set a clear intention in opening sacred space, anything could come in from that other world. Not all of that would be helpful. By working in sacred space, I am assured of working with protection and receiving the highest guidance for the client.
