Creating a Beautiful Home


Creating a Beautiful Home
Small, large or a simple studio..
make it yours :)

Something to reflect on today. I advise you read slowly, very slowly.
You will not want to miss a single word. A friend sent me this in anticipation 
of our last move. It lifted me right up...it still does and I hope it does the same for you :)

Creating a Beautiful Home
"The homes we occupy are seldom ideal. A space that satisfies our basic needs 
may nonetheless leave us wanting where location, decor or style are concerned. 
Yet every home has the potential to be beautiful. 

When we fill our homes with love, we transcend worldly factors such as 
market value and design. Our conscious, loving intentions can literally transform
 the spaces in which we live, dispelling any lingering inharmonious energy and replacing 
it with an ethereal beauty that is felt rather than seen. 

Our homes become spiritual dwellings that feel soulful and alive. 
Regardless of their outward appearances, they radiate love, making all who enter, 
including ourselves, feel instantly welcome.

Turning a space into the beautiful outward expression of your inner warmth 
is as easy as projecting love into it. When your intentions are sincere, you can 
infuse walls of your home with your energy, your emotional sensitivity, 
and your generosity of spirit, turning it into a haven of affection,
 joy, laughter, and togetherness. 

It is up to you, whether you want your personal spaces to be peaceful and quiet 
or lively and inspiring. Begin by cultivating awareness within yourself. This will allow 
you to see your home as an integral part of your existence rather than somewhere you 
simply return to at the end of the each day. 

Consider how you relate to each element of your space, and remind yourself 
that every room in your home can serve a purpose in your life 
and the lives of your loved ones. 

Finally, lovingly thank each room for providing for your needs. As you become 
more mindful of the manner in which your home contributes to your wellbeing
you will discover that, more and more, you want to be and be loved by it.

Appearance and other superficial qualities can be deceiving. An aesthetically beautiful 
home can prove unwelcoming and a home that seems mundane in every 
characteristic can be as comforting and cozy as a beloved relative or friend. 

When you nurture and care for you home as it if were a loved one, 
it will absorb your tender intentions and project a love so touching 
you will soon come to feel a great affection for it."
