Building a Contemplation Area

Often a particular thought process or contemplation
can be supported by the use of a physical structure or item to

anchor the mental process, rather like a picture helps to remind us of a person or special memory. So you may wish to make a special place to support the contemplation work involved in Making a Difference to the World or as another part of your daily life. This can be as simple or complex as you wish – ranging from a few inches in size to as large as you want – and can be housed indoors or outdoors depending on what is available and suitable.

Using items that anchor all of the four elements (fire, earth, air, water) can be a good place to start, as this means that the energy (chi) generated by the contemplation can anchor on and transmit through these four elements. For example, a fountain or a pool will anchor the element of water (which can also be made more effective by using energised water).

Fire can be anchored by a candle, while air can be symbolised by something hanging in the air, such as wind-chimes, a mobile or hanging crystals (this can also be made more effective by using energised crystals). The element of earth can be represented by rocks, stones or plants. Many on–line shops sell excellent-quality candles, crystals, fountains, wind–chimes and so on, all of which can enhance your special areas.

Once the items are gathered, simply arrange them in such a way that feels natural and attractive, in order to let the chi flow. The contemplation can be downloaded as a picture/contemplation or you can write it out yourself if you prefer. You might want to add other pictures or items, such as small animal ornaments for making a difference to animals in the world, or a picture or statue of a child for making a difference to children in the world.

If you’re taking part in the Make a Difference to the World contemplation, as you sit quietly near this place and dwell about the contemplation, take a moment to remember that – just like you – there are many, many others, maybe spread across the whole world, sharing with you the same thoughts, near a special place of their own.
