When we've chosen to make our home a place of harmony, we allow love's energy to expand IN the lives of all who live there. At their best, our homes act as our sanctuaries. They are the
nests we return to for rest and nourishment before we venture out once again
to spread our wings and fly. But there are times that we may feel quite
differently about our homes -- times when we feel surrounded by turmoil
rather than harmony, or mired in chaos rather than immersed in peace. It is
at these times that we have the power to decide to bring more love into our
homes. When we choose love, we are choosing to begin within. With a deep breath, we
close our eyes and ask that when we open them again, we will see where we can
make shifts to create greater harmony. These may be inner shifts, such as
accepting others' personality traits and working with them rather than
against them. Or they may be changes we can make with items around the house
-- removing the ones that cause frustration and displaying things that make
us feel good. Then, we reach out to the people with whom we share our homes
-- whether they are family members or another combination of people who share
our space. We can help to shift their perceptions toward the positive by
asking each person to think about their ideal living situation. After
allowing some time for reflection, gathering to discuss each person's ideas
may lead to the discovery that there are conflicting concepts about what your
shared home should provide. Once this information is out in the open, we have
a roadmap for creating balance and harmony from seemingly disparate desires.
Together, agreements can be made to enable all to take the steps needed to
create a unified vision.
When we have consciously chosen to make our home a place of harmony, then
love's energy can expand throughout the lives of all who live there. Each
person will be nurtured, allowing them to take that peace and serenity with
them into the world, sharing it with whomever they may encounter; and making
every space they enter a warmer and more loving place for everyone. |
