For many people, home sweet home is just that – sweet. It is a place of solitude, safety, and serenity. Regardless of size or location, having a home is one of the best feelings in the world.

Not for everyone, however. For some, it is a source of Stress and tension. Here are 5 methods and a service that can turn your stressful place into a sanctuary.

1. Microcosm/Macrocosm which means “As outside (literally), so inside.” In other words, add flowers and plants to the inside. Green up the inside. Adding color provides a burst of energy to the heart which elevates the Spirit.
2. Consider repainting. If not the whole house, add a room or 2 and splash some color into the mix. Greens and blues will create a sensation of calmness while yellow will again, perk up your Spirits. Too much white or variations on white are simply bland and add to the feeling of blandness.
3. Aromatherapy. Essential oil is considered the “blood” of the herbs. You receive a similar effect via the olfactory (smell) sensations as you would if you drank the herbs. Lemon and lavender are 2 of the best so consider a diffuser or at least, place a drop or 2 on a light bulb.
4. Remove clutter. There is an old therapy for the liver which is as simple as can be — clean your room(s). The liver, the organ responsible for the emotions of anger, frustration and depression, loves organization. Clutter will contribute to the feeling of 1 or so combination of those 3 emotions.
5. Feature value. In other words, put a spotlight on something that means something to you. It may or may not have monetary value but it most certainly has sentimental value. Make it the centerpiece of a room, one which you frequent the most. See it. Feel it. Even if you are not looking directly at it, your eyes will glance across it and your other-than-conscious mind will register it.

Lastly, consider a Home Diagnosis. Some people can read body language and come to accurate conclusions. Doctors can read an x-ray and determine what is wrong. Due to my specialized training, I am able to analyze a few of the rooms in your home via pictures and get a clear and accurate vision of what is happening with your health, relationships and your life in general. I can analyze and correct the imbalances, giving deep insight into what works and what does not and the adjustments needed. This service has been described as “life changing.”
