Every home Breathes. Yes, it’s true. One has to listen to it with some
amount of awareness and remaining in a state of consciousness (even few seconds
or minutes in a day works wonders).
I always knew about it, having read few books on subconscious mind and
books like The Magic. But it took me
many years to understand this and implement it in my own life. One has to feel the breath of one’s home
since every home is an extension of one’s personality and behavior. Many things
that go into creating a specific ambience in one’s home has so much to say
about the members staying in that home, their likes, tastes and behavioural
patterns.
When I get into a space of someone’s home, I sense the aura of that
place and feel great doing it without being judgemental about anything. Every home definitely has a story to say about
itself and if you have an ear for it, you will get it right.
Just imagine a home speaking about herself (for me a home is a feminine
concept since she requires a lot of pampering and cuddling). The more you take care, she is going to give
you more. Just imagine coming back to
this restful space after a tired day’s work. She will relate to you and welcome
you just the way you left her in the morning.
Smile at your door when leaving your home and see the difference it
makes when you return. You will
definitely feel good coming back. You
will start noticing the change in yourself and this is where awareness and
consciousness comes in. Simply cribbing
about your home and its drawbacks is in no way going to make her welcome you –
she will respond back with a not so good smile. So lay your cards well, speak
good words when in your home – she is listening to every word that you say.
As a child, I would always dream of my home being decorated in a
specific fashion and that dream has come true. We got it done just the way we
wished it for, suiting our personalities and liking. We wanted the Indianness to stay and the
authenticity to remain intact. It’s
been a definite hectic month for us, but after all the blood and sweat that
went into creating our dream space, we feel good of having got it right.
I now feel in a meditative state when I am relaxing on my sofa
overlooking the simplicity of the décor and the little artefacts that I
collected for my home. I felt the
texture of the fabric and the smooth smoothness of my drapes – I now relate to
smooth (pun intended). The rustic feel of my walls felt so heavenly yesterday
and that was true meditation for me.
Those seconds of being with my HOME gave me a lot of peace and calmness
which I never got even when I closed my eyes and tried enough to be in a state
of meditation.
So, try this small trick with your home. Give your furniture,
furnishings, the walls that warm touch and see every piece going alive and
living life just the way YOU AND I BREATHE.
Yes, Every HOME breathes!! Put
LIFE into this living space and see wonders happening to your LIFE.
