HOW DOES MY HOME AFFECT MY LIFE?
It is gradually being recognised that the homes we choose, the furniture and items we have inside them and the way we arrange these all have an impact on our lives. Our own energy flow and life experience can be affected by the home we have chosen to live in, and what we have surrounded ourselves with, within it.
Different aspects of the home will have an effect on areas of the lives of its inhabitants. Some of the principles relating to the way our homes are chosen, lived in and set out, and the areas in which our lives and those of our loved ones can be affected by our dwellings are described in the following paragraphs.
COLOUR
This has a huge bearing on our personal atmosphere and sense of well being. Each colour has its own meaning and effect within the home. Combinations of colours can be chosen to create different moods.
Choosing the wrong colours for you personally or for those who share your living space can be disastrous. A relaxing colour in a workroom, while avoiding some degrees of stress, can mean your energy never achieves its maximum potential for your desired level of success. An unemotional colour scheme in a bedroom can cause a lack or lessening of passion. And a colour which promotes appetite, in the dining room of a household looking to lose weight., may mean that the inhabitants are creating a no-win situation for tem selves.
Applying basic principles of colour therapy to your home can make a tremendous difference. Areas of the home which have previously seemed to drain your resources can suddenly become energised and supportive to you.
Colour is clearly one of these easiest features to alter in a home, usually just involving redecoration.
