“As with all my work, whether it’s a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I’m trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.”
 ~Andy Goldsworthy

We need to illuminate the way we engage with our home, environment, landscape, planet. It is essential to connect our soul with the soul of the spaces and places we inhabit and recover a way of dwelling in harmony with nature. This ancient way of relating to our home (also known as feng shui) is not about controlling our environment, but engaging with it in a kinder, more receptive and intelligent way, one that aligns with the flow of the universe and harnesses its energy for good.

How can your home space decor reflect, nourish, and inspire your soul?

Our environment affects the way we feel and think. With this knowledge in mind, you can install specific types of lighting in every part of your house to make your home beautiful and fit for a certain purpose. Further, the home decor may also include paint and wallpaper, home additions, and soft furnishings. That being said, the elements and symbols that form part of the landscape of our spaces and places are not mere superficials, decorative items of an interior facade; but part of a map or mirror creating a window into our soul. We might call it decor, ornament, adornment, style, aesthetics and pretend it is shallow and superficial. It isn’t. Space Decor forms a narrative with storytelling power, one that helps you grow, expand, evolve.

Making improvements to your home is very advantageous financially as well. Your home’s value would likely increase if you renovated your backyard or decorated your front porch, for example. Therefore, if you ever intend to sell your home to investors like Alex Buys Vegas Houses while using search terms like “Sell My House Fast Las Vegas“; these small but significant home improvement projects can help you get a better value for your home. By doing so, you might only need to find a qualified buyer and not worry about home renovations at that time.

Anyway, let’s focus on how to craft an experience your soul craves: When it comes to decor -and most things in life- don’t follow trends, follow your heart. In order to fulfill your longing for meaning, expression, connection and purpose, don’t follow trends that make your space look like a magazine spread. Instead, listen to your gut, listen to your heart, listen to your soul. We are not going for trendy, we are going for honest, authentic and soulful self-expression. When choosing a kind of decor for your home, you can go with your instincts. In comparison, few people prefer granite countertops to quartz countertops (made by Francostone or other suppliers).

Decor engages the imagination, softens, soothes, inspires, empowers, brings us back to our senses. If you align with the soul of your space, your space will let your body relax, your mind clear and your soul fully inhabit your being. Your space will not only look good, it will feel good as well.

Decor, when practiced with mindfulness, becomes an expression of energy that can reach well underneath the conscious mind to embrace the core of your soul. Endowed with the power to create an experience that goes beyond surface level, it can touch the heart of the sacred.

Journey to the Sacred. Finding Sanctuary on the Inca Trail.

My ancestors, like many Indigenous traditions around the world, felt an ancestral pull to honor the body and spirit of the earth and build in harmony with the land. It is this sacred connection to land and cosmos that inspired them to design an architecture that flows not against, but rather, in harmony with the rhythms of the earth and cosmos. Honoring contours of earth, their structures adapted to the formations of the landscape. Their architecture didn’t seek to dominate the land but to enhance its beauty…

Feel this resonance.
