Feel, Honor, and Respect Everything in this Life
It’s odd that after thousands of years of great
spiritual example and literature, we have to
remind ourselves that spirituality is to be
found in everyday life…. Thomas Moore
Everything around us breathes life and energy.
Even inanimate objects are made, developed ,
altered or derived from some form of living
matter. Society takes so much for granted.
We live in the midst of a “throw-away” mentality,
unless something is expensive, it is of little
or has no value, thus, disposable.
Each day can be a special day. It’s not just
the people in your life that deserve attention,
affection and respect everyday. Consider the
things around you. Walk around your house and
see how each room feels. Let it feel your warmth
and appreciation.Think of the toys and gadgets
that surround you. They are important too. These
are tools for convenience, pleasure and sometimes
necessity.
It is said that people leave imprints in their
homes- in the walls, on the doors, the spaces that
once heard the echoes of their footsteps, their
voices, their songs or their laments, their joys
and their sorrows. A worn out adage but so true:
Be it ever so humble, a man’s home is his castle.
A house that sees loneliness and sadness projects
it in many ways. It feels cold and unfriendly. A
welcoming home speaks well of its owners. One can
feel the warmth in the atmosphere.
Some cultures give their homes names. Rightly
so, a home develops its own personality, often
patterned after its owner or occupant.
Not everyone is a meticulous housekeeper. This is
a lot of work. Know the difference between
clutter and filth. Stagnant and negative
energies breed in unkempt areas.
According to the principles of Feng Shui,
elimination of clutter allows the positive “chi”
to flow in the house. You can not always eliminate
clutter, but you certainly can minimize it by
simply picking up and putting things away. The
list can include toys, reading materials, tools
and other gadgets and stuff.
An occasional clean-up would make the room happy,
like a breath of fresh air. It only takes a few
minutes of your time to enjoy the warmth and
cozy feeling a room offers.
It can be any room in the house. Make it all the
rooms, even the laundry room or utility room.
These areas provide valuable space to accommodate
your needs.
Make the room know it is appreciated. Honor the
special areas in your home with fresh flowers;
turn the music on to raise the vibration of a
room; light candles or burn some incense. Make
the room alive.
Read up on Feng Shui. Learn the importance
of every corner of the house and the interesting
connections that can impact on your life, your
dreams, your pursuits and most importantly, your
relationships. Feng Shui makes that important
link between man and his environment.
Many things around us breathe life and have
their own energy. The plants in the garden, the
houseplants, the gems, the artwork, and other
things collected over the years. These all
have energy. These are all part of you.
Money is energy. Respect it, spend it wisely to
stimulate the economy. Electricity is energy.
Water is life. We need to let the sunshine into
our homes, into our lives. Respect the good
earth we live in.
Enjoy the beauty of nature. If you are in the
midst of the concrete jungle, surely there must
be a park where you can sit and breathe in some
fresh air.
The vehicle you drive becomes an extension of YOU.
Take care of it and it renders better service.
Thank it after you arrive safely to your
destination and back.
It is good to honor and respect these everyday
things around us. This raises awareness of the
world we live in. It makes us appreciate the beauty
that surrounds us if we but open our eyes and
learn to see beyond the surface.
