Beauty Is Good For The Soul
Certainly what one considers beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. Yet a few things are constant when is comes to beauty which pleases the spirit. These are Life Force, calmness, light, balance and harmony.
So if you desire to make your home and work place supportive to your well-being and inviting to your spirit. Here are a few hints:
Life: Living things have a life force, a vibration not at all unlike our own Life Force. Plants are a great way to increase the living vibe in the places where we spend much of our time. Plants clean the air too.
Calmness: Environments where we are not over stimulated support our ability to access our own inner stillness, to slow down and hear our inner voice. And when we enter these spaces our body remembers the calm it experienced the last time(s) it was in this space and more readily return to the state of calmness.
Light: One of my energy Medicine instructors taught us that cleaning spreads light. Cleaning up a space makes it feel liter and lighter.
Balance: In the view point of many of the healing arts, the elements of either, air, fire, and earth are know to offer differing qualities, or energies, to a place and our energetic bodies. Balancing these energies in the form of the materials an item is made of, as well as the placement of items within space are helpful in making a space inviting to our spirit.
Harmony: Running water releases negative ions into the air and calms the physiology. Have you ever noticed the relaxed feeling you feel when at the beach or by a river?
Today I love myself enough to care for my environment.
Today I slow down and feel the beauty around me.
