Creating
a Healing Home or Office
By

What
creates a nurturing, healing space in which to live or work? This question
has been front and center for me personally, as I have been coming through
the process of creating a new home for the Crystal Bee. I’d like
to share some thoughts and key concepts that I hope you may find helpful
in your own efforts to create the space that nourishes and supports you
most fully.
The
Power of Intention
While there are many ingredients that come together to create the energy
and experience of a space, the key element that directs what will evolve
is the person’s intention for it. Whether spoken, written, or simply
thought, your intention serves as the “energetic road map”
that can help guide you to the elements that will help you to create what
you seek.
If you
are interested in creating a peaceful, nourishing bedroom, your intention
can help guide you to the colors, fabrics, lighting, and other design
elements you experience as peaceful and soothing. If you are interested
in creating an office that supports in you being more creative and productive,
your intention may direct you to specific design elements that you experience
as stimulating and enlivening, or that help you to maintain focus. If
you are feeling unsure or not able to move forward in the way that you
seek, returning to the guidepost of your intention may help you to recognize
what has been impeding your path.
Design
Elements
There are a variety of design elements you may bring together to create
a space that can fulfill your intention: color, light, sound, the specific
building/furniture/decorative materials used, meaningful/symbolic artwork
or decorative items, aromatherapy, plants, water features, and crystals.
When brought together with intention, these design elements can work together
in a harmonious way. Those you choose and the ways you decide to use them
will reflect your own particular needs, interests, and personal preferences.
As you continue to grow and change, you may find yourself re-visiting
your choices, making changes that reflect your own personal transformation.
The
Contributions of Crystals
As a design element, crystals are extremely versatile and offer many possibilities
for enhancing the health and nurturing capacity of a space. Whether you
are seeking to establish the sacred space of a meditation room, the loving,
nurturing energies of your home, or a healthy, productive work environment,
there are an amazing array of crystal energies available to assist you.
As you work to fulfill your intention for your space, you may wish to
consider incorporating crystals that may:
• Share the energy of unconditional love or other nourishing energies
• Support physical and emotional vitality
• Enhance sense of well-being, peace, or safety
• Help to promote balance
• Energetically model such ideals as wholeness, order, or unconditional love
• Help to energetically clean and maintain the space
• Help to partially remedy the unhealthy effects of electromagnetic fields generated by electrical appliances and equipment.
Maximizing
the Benefit of Design Elements
Like all design elements, crystals can serve most capably when attention
is also given to other key aspects that help to energetically create and
maintain a healthy space:
• The cleanliness of the space
• Removing or limiting clutter
• Clearing pathways for energy and people to move into and through the space.
• Repairing, replacing, or removing broken or faulty items
• Minimizing the presence of electromagnetic fields generated by electronic equipment and appliances (including clocks)
Over time, it can be helpful to re-evaluate your intention for your space and how present design elements (including crystals) are supporting you. This can be an enjoyable process that helps you to appreciate how you have grown and changed, set new goals for the future, and recognize new ways to support yourself more fully on your path. As healing partners that have the ability to energetically adapt to your change needs and goals, crystals can be wonderful partners in this process. We invite you to visit us here at the Crystal Bee and explore the many ways that crystals may partner you in creating your own healing home or office!
