This morning as I sat here looking out the window at the pouring rain, I felt an energy of gratitude wash over me. Our home is a place of shelter, safety and protection. It is where we seek to relax, balance and regenerate our energy. Our home provides us a space of solitude to meditate, connect and seek guidance on our individual path in life. It is a place that we can truly feel and be ourselves. It is the heart of our family as we gather to watch TV, play games, and share life experiences.
Our home is a product of our individual choices and desire. It is a reflection of who we are. We often outgrow the energy within our home and need to revisit our vision. As you look around your home, how do you feel? Walk through each room. You can shift the energy if you wish, whether it is a tiny apartment, a starter home or a mansion.
A Few Tips for Creating your Sanctuary…
*Clear the clutter. If you don’t use it, lose it. If you’ve outgrown it, you don’t need to own it.
*Everything holds energy from artwork to family heirlooms, jewelry and books. If it doesn’t feel good to you, pack it away or let it go. This is a wonderful time to share by passing your treasures along to someone who will love them.
*Sometimes we simply need a color change to support our health and energy.
*If your home is sucking your energy dry, consider downsizing and simplifying or seek help in maintenance.
*Create a space in your home for you. If the layout doesn’t support this, the bathtub is a great space for alone time and meditation.
*Surround yourself with things you love or that support your energy and life. Less is more.
*Candles, crystals, wind chimes, and inspirational artwork can help set the ambience or tone within your home. Affirmations supporting your desires can be placed in frames or in empty vessels around the home. Splurge on a comfortable bed and linens. Sleep is imperative to our well being.
*Talk about what each person wants in the home and set goals, guidelines and boundaries.
May your home be filled with laughter, joy and peace. May it become a sanctuary of renewal and regeneration.
