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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.”
