A
healthy home should be a healing space, a nurturing positive mind field. It can
be a place where all wounds are healed. Alvin Toffler wrote ‘The family is the
giant shock absorber of the family to which the bruised and battered individual
returns after doing battle with the world!’ If your home is not a sanctuary but
a battle-field do something about it. Get help, maybe professional help.
Reserve time for laughter and happiness—schedule time for it, like you do for
your work.
Have a
rule to avoid difficult topics during meal times or bed time. Music, if is
soothing, can be a powerful force for peace. The very walls absorb the
vibrations of the music. Mantras can do the same for your home. I sometimes
feel that if music can be infused into the mindspace so that it plays quietly
in your mind, as the background to your day, it can have a really soothing
affect. Avoid violent, depressing programmes. Just as you would not allow a
terrorist into your home, do not allow such movies into the sacred space of
your home. You surely are the protector of the field that exists in your home.
Make your home fragrant with incense. Clean and sparkling and beautiful.
Respectful of the sacred forces that can animate your home.
