Your home is your oasis

Your home is your oasis. Through your efforts, your house or
apartment can become both a private sanctuary and a welcoming,
serene, and healthy place to live in and visit. An organized and
comfortable home can have a calming effect on you, your family, and
guests, as well as be your personal escape from the rest of the
world. Creating this nurturing space isn't difficult. Even a
household that includes young children or multiple animals can be a
serene and peaceful place. In just a few minutes, you can make a
number of changes that can turn your home into a safe and
comfortable haven that you can be proud to share with your loved
ones and friends. One way to fill your house or apartment with
calming energy is to imbue it with a peaceful ambiance that nurtures
all five senses. Soft lighting and soothing colors like blue,
purple, and green can make a space feel warm and inviting, while
pleasant and calming aromas such as lavender and vanilla can
positively affect moods. Peaceful sounds, such as running water in a
fountain or gentle chimes can uplift and clear the space, while
clearing clutter and making the most of open space can ease internal
turmoil and dispel negative feelings. The physical objects in your
home as well as your home itself can retain the energy of previous
owners or creators. You can give your household's energy a lift by
visualizing white light surrounding our home, symbolically sweeping
out residual energy, or smudging your home with cleansing sage. The
changes you make to your home can be as unique as you are and may
involve utilization of space, lighting, new furniture, decorating,
feng shui, or ritual. But what you do is not as important as being
clear in your intention to set up your household as a soothing and
refreshing place to be. Make your home a place of comfort, and you
will feel nurtured and cared for whenever you are there.
