New Home/More Nurturing Home Meditation


For many years, while teaching courses on Feng Shui, I'd ask students to participate in this room visualization to help them look inside of themselves, as part of the process of creating a nourishing and enriching environment in which to reside. Before you start, I'd like to make a few suggestions, if I may. If you have someone you feel comfortable with, have them read the visualization to you, slowly, with many pauses, for you to have enough time to visualize your desires. If you don't have someone to work with, you can record this on a tape machine with your own voice and play it while you do the visualization. Soothing background music is fine to use. Also, it is most beneficial for you to only read to the starred area, at this time, and save the paragraphs after that for after you have completed your visualization. If you read it ahead of time, it may influence your visualization, which will take away from the experience. Have a journal or some paper and a pen handy for when you finish this visualization.

Get into a position you feel comfortable in, be it sitting in a stuffed chair, laying in bed or sitting out under a lovely shade tree.

Close your eyes and then make your muscles rigid and tense for a moment and then relax them.

Tense those muscles again and then relax them.

And again, tense your muscles and relax them.

If you are having any difficulty with focusing, open your mouth just a bit, and repeat the above, as some people who have difficulty relaxing find it easier when drawing in a bit more breath.

Imagine yourself in a gorgeous green meadow. (pause)

Sunshine is beating down upon you making you feel warm and relaxed. (pause)

You feel warm and relaxed. (pause)

Walk along and explore this lovely green meadow. (pause)

Smell the grass. (pause)

Notice the beautiful colors of the lush wildflowers. (pause)

Feel the dew tickling your feet. (pause)

You feel warm and relaxed. (pause)

As you walk along, you see a path through the wildflowers. (pause)

Take a pleasant walk on the path, as the warmth of the sunshine bathes you. (pause)

Out of nowhere appears a door. Walk towards the door, feeling safe and secure. (pause)

What does the door look like? (pause)

As you reach out and open the door, you feel safe and secure. Recognition envelopes you as you realize this is the door to your personal and private room. It is your personal retreat and you feel very much at home here. (pause)

Imagine what it looks like. Is it a big room or a small room? (pause)

What color is your room painted? Or does it have wallpaper? What is on the wallpaper? (pause)

Does your room have furniture in it? What type or style of furniture is in your room? (pause)

What is on the floor beneath your feet? (pause)

Look up at the ceiling. Is their anything on the ceiling? (pause)

What sorts of textures are in the room? Are they wooly, soft, lumpy or tweedy textures? (pause)

Look at the walls. Are their pictures on the walls? What is in the pictures? (pause)

Is there a window in your room? Is it a big window or a small window? Is the window covered with drapes or open to the outside world? (pause)

Walk over to the window and peek out. What is outside of your window? (pause)

Go back and stand in the center of your room and notice what else is in your room. What objects surround you? What else is in your room? (longer pause)

Does your room have a fireplace? (pause)

Drink in the view of your room fully and completely. (longer pause)

Go back to the door and open it and leave the room when you are ready. (pause)

Walk down the path enjoying the pungent smells of the luscious wildflowers. (pause)

Imagine yourself back in the lush meadow and take a deep breath and exhale. (pause)

When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and come back to the here and now, feeling refreshed and renewed. (pause)

Refreshed and renewed.

These can be extremely private feelings and you don't need to share them with anyone but yourself, but do spend some time reflecting on what you saw and experienced. Particularly reflect about how your room or personal space at home compares to your visualization. If it is similar, that is wonderful, as you are living part of your dream. If it isn't, what can you do to make your room at home more like the room of your dreams? Even if you are only able to incorporate a piece or two a time, start surrounding yourself with the objects that nurture you. One can't help but notice defining moments in people's lives. I vividly remember a student who came out of the visualization and wanted to share with everyone that her visualization was extremely similar to a log cabin she and her husband had sold four years prior. She realized that she had not been happy since selling the mountain cabin. Because finances were not a problem, this visualization enabled her to take the first step towards looking for a new cabin to nurture her soul.

Blessings and joy,
