Energy is all about awareness. It is about inward thinking. It is a philosophy and science.
The primary reason we decided to go ahead re-tiling the living and dining areas is about giving a new orientation to bring about more harmony and tranquility to Reiki Sanctuary. Sacred spaces, by extension of everything that exists around us, create a living energy and content soul. These elements, from which the Universe was created, vibrate the positive and negative forces that are in everyone's lives.
In creating your own sacred space, for your home or office or any dwelling places, it is important to organize the life forces. If you want to write a story, you need an empty page. If you want to fill new juice, you need an empty new glass. The Law of Vacuum explains the key concept to map your sacred space to all that you desire - it is for an optimal flow for an orderly and harmonious space to an orderly and harmonious inner life which is so necessary for good health of the body, mind and soul.
The co-incidental lost of tiles, left by our previous owners, was a subtle message of spirituality and efficiency. It happened for good reason that best fits our unconscious constitution for inner peace. With everything new, we are creating our own sacred space. We are in charge of the life forces. We are the author to convincingly champion the storyline. We are literally saying, 'This is mine. This is what I want.' It will be a mirror of ourselves, through it we can interface with the abundance of the universe.
The 'missing tiles' that we have taken to be a blessing:
We do get affected when things do not go our way. It always has to do with our expectation - the hopes that we built, the results that we desired and the wishful actions and reactions we anticipated. Admittedly, we were a little disappointed when the tiles went missing. We were denying ourselves towards the universe abundance, and all her gifts and blessings, just because we were very concerned with the increased renovation cost it could incur.
What we didn't realize was for bigger things to come - that we need to make sacrifices. That we need to discover the need to plant a seed before it can grow into a huge tree. We were focussing at the huge tree and forgot how and where it came from. We can't never really find peace and joy, nor be able to give gratitude, if we choose not to recognise the source.
The beauty of a sacred space lies from the identity of inward thinking. Fom the realization of compassion. From the insightful essence of creativity and productivity. From the revelation and acknowledgement of acceptance. From the slightest and smallest gratitude to something larger than ourselves for greater purpose. It is about creating an environment where a sense of the sacred can be realized in the details of our everyday lives, and in ourselves.
Creating this space becomes a search for meaning, or a process of discovering what has meaning. It involves putting love, peace and joy - the spirituality, into physical form. It is the wanting for the purity of life.
I always believe that one of the many reasons why we always feel that we have a relaxed holiday, it has to do with the clean ambience of the hotel. The tidiness of the room, the daily clean bedsheet, the vacuumed carpet and the nicely arranged of toiletries and towels provide the sense of comfort and tranquility. Likewise, when a home is clean and everything is spick and spank, it brings clarity to our mind and soul.
The significance of a clean and tidy environment generates a subtle sacred space. Most people are not fully aware how much a clean, tidy and unclustered space can affect them. A disorganized and clustered environment affect you in different ways:
01. It makes you feel tired and lethargic
02. It keeps you in the past
03. It congests your mind and body
04. It brings confusion
05. It affects the way other people treat you
06. It stagnates your energy and into procrastination
07. It causes disharmony
08. It brings shame
09. It puts your life on hold
10. It can depress you
11. It can create excess emotional baggage
12. It dulls your sensitivity and enjoyment of life
13. It makes you feel disorganised
14. It triggers undesirable symbology
15. It hinders abundance
16. It distracts you from important things
17. It increases financial costs
All it takes is a little awareness and to give a thought to each one of them.
Whenever I am invited to a house, it is always easy to sum up the vibrational energy within the household. The basic layout of a house can reveal a specific aspect of the owner and the family. The placement of objects, the play with colours, the clustered areas - these are elements that will shape and influence within the sacred place , the soul of the house and, ultimately, to our personality, attitudes, characters, behaviour. What is there in the house - the life that we give to each scared place, is the total sum to our psychological appearance.
Our lives and the place we occupy [be it a room, an office building, a home] are inseparable. Therefore, it is wise that we should be more selective about what we keep, or place, in that area in order to bring greater ease and harmony to that aspect of our life. Storing out-and-out junk in the prosperity area, for example, can create financial problems.
Tibetan geomancy is about dividing the area into nine sacred squares. Each square resonates with specific sacred element. In Tibetan geomancy, the sacred elements are:
01. Prosperity/Wealth/Abundace
02. Elders/Family/Community
03. Knowledge/Wisdom/Self-Improvement
04. Fame/Reputation/Illumination
05. Health/Unity
06. Career/Life Path/The Journey
07. Relationship/Love/Marriage
08. Creativity/Offspring/Projects
09. Helpful friends/Compassion/Travel
I was a sceptic when I first started with Tibetan Geomancy. However, after months of observation and self validation, and removing or cluttering a scared square, the results can be very alarming. At the end of the day, I believe that every house, every room, every building - anywhere we occupy, there's a soul to it.
What we need to do is to de-cluster and amplified with an object to resonate with the soul in each sacred squares.
