Create A Place

 

People often express the wish that their homes had the same peacefulness as the massage room.  Creating a peaceful environment at home is one of the best ways to de-stress your life.  Spaces that have balance and harmony are very healing atmospheres.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, don’t forget your heart!  Photographs of family and friends, treasures you’ve collected, anything that is nurturing needs to be included.

You can use this as a healing exercise for you and your living spaces.  Spend some time thinking about what is really important and meaningful to you before you either add it or eliminate it from the room.  As you begin to feel the difference, other ideas will spontaneously come to you.

 

Have fun with it!               -Kathy

If I had to name the one thing that causes the most dis-ease. it’s clutter. If a room is overloaded with stuff, to the point of being suffocating, it might be a metaphor for how your life feels right now.  Just the process of sorting through and getting rid of things you don’t want or need may restore a sense of peace to the room and your life.  If the task seems overwhelming, maybe you could enlist some help with the physical part. 

 

Once you have reclaimed the space, it’s time to think about all the things that make you feel calm and relaxed.  Think of what stimulates your senses: 

 

colors – artwork, paint, fabrics

textures – soft pillows,  warm throws or afghans

scents – aromatherapy candles, fresh flowers

sounds – music, waterfalls, relaxation or guided imagery tapes
