I create an altar in honor of my death.

For many people, thoughts about death are intimately linked with their spiritual beliefs.  It can be very healing to create a visual, tangible representation of what you believe the spiritual journey through death and beyond means to you.  Acceptance and forgiveness are important elements of your work with your altar, and here also you have the opportunity to offer up your fears and concerns, your intentions and prayers.

No matter how much pain or suffering is involved in your illness and until the breath is gone, every day of your life is full of opportunity coming to you one precious breath at a time, connecting you to infinite potential and possibility of how to spend that moment.  The gesture of creating and maintaining your altar helps inspire you to live your breaths consciously and in gratitude.
