Just as we consciously create an environment
within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life itself with our
particular energy. There are few things more thrilling than
having a new house or an empty room to decorate. Our imaginations soar as we
consider the many possibilities. In the same way, our lives offer us the
opportunity to express ourselves within various contexts, to ask ourselves
questions about what we want to see as we move through our days and how we
want things to flow. Some people do this instinctively, moving through the
various environments they inhabit and shifting the energy with their
presence. These people have a knack for decorating life. This can be as
simple as the way they dress, the way they speak, or the fact that they
always bring a bouquet of wildflowers when they come for a visit. As we move through the world, we make a
statement, whether we intend to or not. We shift the energy one way when we
enter a room dressed elegantly and simply, and another when we show up in
bright, cheerful colors and a floppy hat. One is not better than the other.
It is simply a question of the mood we wish to create. What we wear is just
one choice we can focus on. The way we speak to people, or touch them, shifts
the energy more profoundly than almost anything else. The words we speak and
the tone in which we say them are the music we choose to play in the world
that is our home. Some of us fill the space with passionate arias, others
with healing hymns. Again, one is not better than the other. We are all
called to contribute. Just as we consciously create an
environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life
itself with our particular energy. Ideally, in doing so, we express our
deeper selves, so that the adornments we add to the world make it more meaningful,
more beautiful, and as welcoming as a beloved home. |
