My Two Altars

I love looking at everyone’s pictures of their altars. The uniqueness and themes are limitless. I am so excited about this Altar Inspiration chat challenge because not only will I get to show my current altar, but seeing everyone else’s altars will #ATC

My main altar is the one I change up the most. After Ostara I changed it to honor the Full Pink Moon. Right now it is based on the chakras. When it comes to your chakras, they are something that will fall in and out of balance. You fix one then another becomes too open or too closed. Then you fix that one and the first one will fall out of balance. This happens because of life happening. When I am having an especially hard time, I’ll set up an altar dedicated to either one or two specific chakras, or all seven at once. Right now there is a lot going on with this quarantine so my main altar is set up to honor two of my chakras that need a bit of right now.

The first half of this altar is to honor my heart chakra. My heart chakra is pretty balanced right now so my respiratory system is really strong. However, with this virus going around, it is important to me to keep my lungs as strong as possible. The heart chakra governs the lungs and COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system.

Some of the things I’m doing to keep this chakra as balanced as possible is mostly yoga with the cobra pose, triangle, and fish pose. Of course I have also dedicated part of my altar to the heart chakra with my intentions written on the paper.

The second half of my altar is to honor my throat chakra. I am a professional classical vocalist and I have been having vocal health issues. This is a huge problem for me because it really affects my livelihood. My physical ailments are that I experience a lot of ear, nose, and throat problems. A lot of this is because of allergies so I have been to see a doctor to do what they can to help. However I’m still trying to make sure that my throat chakra stays as balanced as possible to help with any vocal damage I may have.

In order to help my throat chakra I am doing vocalizations, affirmations, throat-energy massages, and in yoga the lion pose, crescent, and chin-lock pose that isolates that area. I have also dedicated half of my alter to honor the throat chakra with my intentions written on the paper.

My second altar is dedicated to Saint Michael and the music I offer him. Saint Michael has helped me through some of my hardest and scariest times. Any time I feel unsafe I always call out to him. He is a warrior. He is a protector.

On this altar I have my images of Saint Michael, and I have my crucifix from Spain along with my rosary from the Vatican and blessed by the pope. The instruments I’ve been using are the bodhran and the recorder.

My altars are very simple compared to many others I’ve seen because it helps me to focus my intentions and any offerings I may have. I usually prefer to keep my altars more private but I thought I would share these with you today.
