RE: Searching for the Zen of balance

in #health7 years ago

Just yesterday I was feeling discontent inside my own room. I felt better avoiding it and escaping it and staying away as long as possible. But shouldn't such a personal space be more welcoming?

So I cleaned and moved things around! It made a huge difference, but I know there's still work to be done. Something still feels "off", but I'm sure I can get it to the point where it brings me peace again.

What does this have to do with anything? Haha you mentioned Feng Shui. So that might be something for me to look into more, as I try to turn my room into a more balanced place.

Hi @reos, thank you for the comment! That is exactly what Feng Shui does, it gives us a proven way to balance our inner selves and bring us peace. When I first heard of it I was kind of resistant but I have come to realize that if I feel discord in my surroundings there is probably discord inside myself that needs to be addressed. Else why would I let my surroundings get messed up? This is a good place to start looking at Feng Shui, it is not strictly traditional but Dana makes it work wonderfully. http://www.fengshuidana.com/

Good for you! It's exactly like @presentminded mentions - the inner and outer world reflect each other. So changing your beliefs (inner world) is the way to change the reality of your life (outer world). But, it also works the other way around! You ever heard for instance that smiling, just the act of smiling even when you're not feeling happy, releases hormones that end up making you feel happy? And of course, yoga is a science to bring balance and harmony to the body, which heals and clears up the inner world as well. Not familiar with the practices of Feng Shui though. But from the above post, sounds interesting! Might be something to look into more for me as well! :)
