Love Your Home

Love your home and it will love you right back!

1 - Name your home

Whether you live in a house, apartment or shared home-with an evocative, poetic and beautiful name.

2 - Tell your home you love it.

Express your gratitude for its comfort, protection, warmth and memories.

3 - Play sacred music

Even while you're away (your plants and animals will be blessed, too!).

4 - Keep your home in excellent repair

No burnt-out light bulbs, peeling paint, leaking faucets, cracked windows and so on…

5 - Add some sparkle and shimmer!

Add some metallic wall-paper, paint or décor for some interior bling. Or hang Swarovski leaded crystal spheres in your windows, off your chandeliers or even on your altar for glittering and dancing light.

6 - Bring in all 5 Chinese Elements into your space

  • Plants and flowers (wood)

  • Water features (water)

  • Light the fire or candles (fire)

  • Pretty gemstones or crystals (earth); and

  • Décor made of metal (metal)

7 - Give your home oxygen

Open your windows every single day and let Nature Herself pour easily into your home.

8 - Put essential oil of lemon or orange on your keys and key chain .

This method opens luck with the house key so now everyday you open your front door. Take your shoes off at the front door and stop bringing dirt (and who-knows-what else!) into your home. Walk around in cozy slippers, instead. Looking for essential oils? Check out my DoTerra site here.

9 - Make your bed each day.

I love to spritz pure organic essential oils (such as lavender) onto the sheets and blankets while I'm making it.

10 - Make fragrant incense offerings

Make fragrant incense offerings ( sandalwood, or frankincense) for your local land spirits and protectors of your home in the early evening after the sun has set. Imagine that they are accepting the incense and you can even ask for specific protection or request that an obstacle or illness be removed.

11 - Walk around the rooms of your home and the boundaries of your land or garden three times in a clockwise direction.

Imagine as you're walking that you're: purifying and cleansing the energies of your living space and land; overcoming everyday obstacles; dissolving any quarrelsome energy; dissipating any illnesses.
