If this is your first journey you may be wondering what you can do to prepare your journey space. Here are some questions for you to think about and things you can get ready:
- Where will you be most comfortable throughout the night? We recommend that you start your journey sitting up but at some point you may have the urge to lie down. Make sure that you have the space to do this. Your space may be a mattress in front of a fire, a large couch, a bed β whatever works for you.
- How are you going to listen to the playlist? On your phone or laptop? Where are you going to set up the device? Test the playlist and the sound. TIP : on the day of your journey set up the technology beforehand, and start the playlist just before you take the sacrament.
- Do you have a few candles to create some soft lighting?
- Do you have warm blankets? On the evening you may want to make up a hot water bottle. (I know that I am most comfortable when I have at least one hot water bottle made up for a journey).
- Do you have a box of tissues? A bottle of water? It is also helpful to have a bucket available in case you want to purge.
