Your image choices, uplifting or depressing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

We all know that words and beliefs help to create your path. But you may not have considered how your space impacts your life. The colors around you, energy flow of your space, the light and sounds in your home all contribute energy to your life. If you’re in an environment that is dark or cluttered, it can be hard to feel open, limitless and expansive.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to ignore what you see everyday. Unless we pay attention, we can be unaware of how images can shape the choices we make. Objects and images that contribute to making you feel sad, angry, stuck, defensive or defeated should be removed.<\/p>\n

Here’s what to consider when looking at what\u2019s on your walls.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0 Does your artwork have happy people? Are there pictures of groups and couples or solitary figures?<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

One client wondered why she was alone and never seemed to have long lasting relationships. However, every image in the house featured a solitary female figure and some pieces even featured an armed woman warrior.<\/p>\n

In another family home, pictures featured either a single lonely-looking woman, or images of a woman caring for children (even in the bedroom). I recommended adding images celebrating their relationship as a couple especially in their personal space and adding photos of their complete, happy family throughout the home.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0 Are there images of violence or weapons on display?<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
\"Little<\/a>

The bedroom of a couple completing an acrimonious divorce had an antique tapestry over the bed. The mural depicted two groups of armed combatants preparing for a confrontation. (There was no happy place for this tapestry in the home; the piece was donated to a museum.)<\/p>\n

Another troubled couple had a ceiling mural in the master bedroom\u00a0 featuring plants and vines twined around the remnants of a damaged greenhouse, including glass shards and splintered wood. Images of broken glass and sharp edges are not a great choice when you want to create a solid relationship.<\/p>\n

Do you have swords, knives or guns over the mantle or elsewhere?<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Be aware of how these images make you feel. Sharp edges, metal, spikes and bullets do not communicate joyful community or warm friendships.<\/p>\n

Another client had a movie poster of an actor holding an automatic weapon positioned so that the gun was pointing at his bed. Although he claimed to enjoy the image, he also admitted to mostly confrontational relationships. Life started to shift once the poster was removed.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0 What do your mirrors reflect?<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Mirrors visually increase whatever they reflect. When a mirror holds images of thriving plants, flowers or beautiful objects, it multiplies energies of health and wealth. Do your mirrors amplify a beautiful view or magnify clutter and trash?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mirrors should also show a complete person. Distorted views, like headless bodies or fun-house style mirrors, can ultimately impact self-perception.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0 Do dried flowers, bones and fossils or\u00a0images of deserts and dry vistas feature prominently in your d\u00e9cor?<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
\"Tide<\/a>

Although the appearance of bones and dried grasses may be intriguing, skeletons and dead plants are not life-affirming. Replace them with objects or pictures that promote energies of growth, health and abundance (green plants, lush landscapes, etc.). If you cannot part with your archeological treasures or arid landscape photos, balance displays of artifacts and images with green plants and water features.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0 Do you have objects that remind you of unhappy times?<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Even if something has financial value, a negative reaction (sadness, anger, disappointment) cancels out any perceived benefit. Try putting the item aside for a while. You may find that spirits rise when it\u2019s not around. It may ultimately make you even happier to give it away or turn it into money.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If resources for a whole new decorating scheme are limited, consider creating a vision board for yourself. <\/a><\/p>\n

The images you choose can raise your own vibration and shift patterns that do not serve. Consider each addition to your home thoughtfully and well. Think about what kinds of energy you want to cultivate for each room in your house. Look for uplifting images and messages for your walls and life.<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
