6 ways to live in harmony
Close your eyes for a moment and repeat the word "harmony". What comes up? I hear the orchestra playing, I see nature, inviting home, and a world where we all operate in peace. I feel love within. Harmony is one of my favorite words in this world, it simply has such beautiful high, in-tune vibration.
When I look up the dictionary description of ‘harmony’ from Merriam-Webster, it says “pleasing arrangement of parts: Congruence” and ” internal calm: Tranquility”.
I am sure we all want this but how can we achieve it?
It starts with you and me. To create more harmony in this world, we shall create it first into our lives. In this post, I will share with you 3 simple things that you can start adding into your self-healing practice and 3 things that you can change at your home to support your new harmonious lifestyle.
3 THINGS for more HARMONY WITHIN
MEDITATE
If all people in this world would meditate, our world would look totally different. It is such a beautiful self-care healing tool and is easily available for everyone. Meditation has so many benefits that are backed up by research from improving focus, reducing stress and anxiety, bringing clarity, helping to heal mental health, improving your digestion, so there is really no excuse to try different styles and find the one that fits you!
LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND AND SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART
Listening is an important skill to have if you want to communicate effectively. We all should listen more than we speak as it reduces misunderstanding, builds and deepens relationships, opens up our world, etc. It is also good to remember to always speak from your heart, as love vibrates harmony.
"When you talk, you only repeat what you know. But if you listen, you may learn something new"
SYNERGIZE YOUR FEMININE AND MASCULINE ENERGY
We all have masculine and feminine energy within us and the synergy of these energies will create the type of harmony we would want for this planet. Think about Yin and Yang, day and night, hot and cold… It all exists because the other one also exists. They live in peace and don’t compete, fight, disagree or dominate.
Think about which one is more dominant within you and today do one thing that represents the other energy type. For example, if you have more feminity today inside you, then do something masculine, such as achieve a goal (pick something that you have been procrastinating). If you have masculine dominance, increase your feminine energy, such as by nurturing yourself.
3 THINGS for more HARMONY at home
DESIGN YOUR HOME WITH A SET OF SIMILAR COLORS, MATERIALS, TEXTURES, STYLES, AND LINES
Harmony in home decor is created when we use and repeat similar things in the room, such as when we use a common element of color, materials, textures, styles, and lines in the room. Just like an orchestra plays the same song, in the same key but with different instruments.
KEEP YOUR HOME CLEAN AND ORGANIZED
Chaos and dirt at home affect everyone’s mood and bring the energy down. This can increase anxiety, stress and make your mind foggy. Keep things organized and clean, as much as possible, and see how things change!
RAISE THE ENERGY OF YOUR HOME
I already mentioned meditation, but the win-win situation is that if you meditate at your own home, it also raises the energy of your home! How cool is that! Other ways to raise the energy of your home is to do an energy clearing, add some plants that purify the air (Aloe Vera, Peace Lily, Spider plant, Snake plant, etc.), keep the windows open every now and then for some fresh air, have crystals as part of the decor and use non-toxic home cleaning products and decoration items.
To live in harmony lifts up our energy, raises our consciousness, and brings more love to this planet, so hopefully, this post inspired you to create more harmony in your life!
