How to Choose Spiritual Art for Your Sacred Space

Everything is energy - including the art in your sacred space. Yet most people choose spiritual art based purely on how it looks, not how it feels or what energy it brings to their practice.

When choosing spiritual art, most people tend to gravitate towards mandalas, chakra symbols, or religious artwork.

As more people create sacred spaces in their homes, many are discovering that traditional spiritual art doesn't quite capture their personal spiritual journey.

But that doesn't always work for us. After all, some of us don't have a dedicated meditation room that's truly just for us. Perhaps it's a corner of a bedroom or living room that's shared with someone else. Or maybe our spiritual sanctuary is actually an armchair or cushion in our office.

But what if you're designing your sacred space and traditional spiritual art doesn't speak to you or feel authentically yours?

The good news is sacred interiors don't have to mean images of lotus flowers and chakras.

So let's go through some questions that will help you choose spiritual art that truly makes your sacred space yours - whether it's a dedicated room, or not.

What Energy Do You Want to Create in Your Sacred Space?

This is the place to start. Everything holds an energetic imprint, which is why your environment affects how you feel. We see this in action when we encounter a house that just won't sell, despite being beautiful, decluttered and styled before it goes on sale. The space holds energy that people can sense, even if they can't explain why it just doesn't feel right.

Spaces absorb the energy of everything in them, and we feel it. So why not level that up and intentionally choose the energy you want in your spiritual sanctuary? You can choose an energy that supports you and your life rather than leaving it to chance. If that sounds good to you, we'll be covering the how in a moment.

How to Choose Spiritual Art That Supports You, Your Goals, Your Path

What is important to you? Just like the growing concern about clothes made in sweatshops, many of us prefer not to buy art that is mass produced in the same conditions where the intention is high volume production no matter what.

It might be shocking to some of us, but it's not a secret that some "spiritual" art is labelled that simply because it sells well. With no genuine intention behind the work, this is exactly why so much spiritual art feels hollow - it's created for profit, not purpose.

That doesn't mean your spiritual sanctuary has to look like a Pinterest moodboard or an Instagram aesthetic. It has to feel good to you. You want it to feel like it's yours. When I speak to my clients after they've purchased an artwork, they say "I just knew that piece was for me." It's not something we can always explain. No doubt what they're sensing is the energy of artwork that was created just for them.

A New Approach to Spiritual Art

But what if there was a different way to think about sacred artwork entirely?

Most spiritual art is either infused with the artist's energy and emotions, or infused with energy the artist has chosen for you. But why not energy that supports your most expansive self?

When I received my divine transmission on the steps to making art filled with light, I understood its purpose. The energy of these artworks would support us in expressing our greatest selves and accessing the abundance of gifts within our limitless nature. And I knew that the channeled messages I would receive with each piece would explain that purpose. What I didn't realize is how healing the combination of both would be.

This is what Light Energy Art is about - the first spiritual artwork specifically channeled to support your expansion into your limitless self.

So now let's get into the practicalities of choosing art for your sacred corner.

How to Evaluate Spiritual Art for Your Sacred Space

So how do you actually choose spiritual art that feels authentically yours? Here what to look for.

Trust Your Initial Response

When you first see a piece of art, notice your immediate reaction. Does it make you want to keep looking? Do you find yourself drawn back to it? That magnetic pull often signals an energetic connection worth exploring.

Ask Better Questions

Instead of "Do I like this?" try asking: "Is this art calling me, as if it already belongs in my sacred space?" and "Do I feel more connected, uplifted, or at peace in the presence of this piece?" The answers will guide you toward art that serves your spiritual journey.

Trust Your Knowing

When a piece is right for you, you'll often know immediately. That instant recognition of "this is mine" is your intuition responding to the energy of the artwork. Honor that first instinct rather than second-guessing yourself.

Practical Guidelines for Choosing Sacred Space Art

Originals or Prints

Whether you choose originals or prints will come down to you and your personal needs. Perhaps the artwork you like only comes in a print. Or perhaps you've decided you want to curate your space slowly and intentionally, buying when you see just the right thing that feels like it speaks to you and belongs to you. It's your sanctuary, and your choice.

Connecting with the Artist's Approach and Intention

Like anything else that we purchase with intention, we want our sacred space to align with our beliefs and values. This doesn't take deep research. A quick look at the artist's website and about page will give you all the information you need to know if this artist's outlook and methods reflect what you want to see in your art. You'll then know if you want to look at more of their artworks to consider for your spiritual sanctuary.

What to Look for in Galleries vs. Online vs. Direct from Artists

Another practicality is deciding whether to buy from a gallery, online, or direct from an artist. Galleries curate the art they sell based on what aligns with their brand and with the sort of artwork their specific audience would be interested in. This could mean art with certain themes and aesthetics. Instead of running from gallery to gallery to see if someone has something you might like, you want to research galleries online first to find a match for you.

Online art marketplaces are different in that they curate by what's trending. This works for those who want to decorate based on interior design trends. When shopping online art marketplaces, choose artwork that aligns with you deeply rather than just following trends. You want pieces that will remain meaningful as trends come and go.

Many people prefer to buy directly from the artist. Sometimes it's a personal choice to support a small business. Other times it's because they can ask the artist deeper questions. How was this artwork created? What prompted you to create this piece of sacred art? How will your art support my sacred space and spiritual practice?

It's Your Sacred Space

Your spiritual sanctuary should serve you and your practice. It's a place you go to connect with the divine; meditate; perhaps light a candle and pray or do yoga. Or quite simply it could be your place to tune into yourself and relax.

Your spiritual art should serve your practice by making your sacred space truly your own and matching your spiritual depth and intention.

This is about creating a sanctuary that supports your expansion into your most brilliant self - a space that grows with you on your spiritual journey.
