Our Inner Home

Going There

Once we find our center and inner home, we’ll want to go there regularly. How do we do that with all the things in the outside world that distract and dissuade us? First, we can set our strong intention and commit to returning to it when we find ourselves uncentered, in a negative space or in confusion. For each of us, our ways are unique, for us to find for ourselves.

Here are some ways that people find their centers.

• Breathing exercises – focusing on the breath centers and calms us.
• Mindfulness – being present to ourselves and what we are doing.
• Meditation or self-reflection – calming our minds to achieve clarity.
• Balancing our lives as best we can – getting enough sleep, fueling our energy so that energy drains in our lives do not deplete us, making room for fun and joy in our lives, understanding the balance we need among our emotions, mind, physical life and spiritual life and what works for us.
• Finding things that bring up positive emotions and nurture us. It may be music, physical exercise, a hobby, relationships, nature, fun or our own creativity.
• Looking for the good in every situation.
• Inner searching, faith and spiritual and personal development.
• Knowing what helps us relax.
• Recognizing the signs that we are losing touch with our center.
• Physical exercise.
• Stopping/pausing when we feel overwhelmed or otherwise lose our center, so that we can regain it.

Its Power

Our center is our inner home. It is our place of truth and authenticity. It is up to us to create this home in a way that serves us. It is a refuge from the outer world. It is a place where we can grow and get comfortable with change. Within our inner home, our discernment and judgment are sharp. Our interests are served when we move from our center and we are much better able to make choices about Openings that appear.

Our inner home is a place of sanctuary, a place where we are ourselves. It is a place of peace for us. A place where we can think and imagine without interference. It becomes a place of wisdom, intuition, knowledge and insight. It furthers our balance. It becomes a steady place from which we can act in our own interest.

When we have an inner home, people sense it and our relationships (with ourselves and with others) and our experiences can reconfigure, furthering our power and peace.  From our inner home we can inspire others to find theirs just by what they see in us. Our life changes, deepens and becomes more fulfilling.

Nurturing Our Inner Home

Once we are there, nurturing our inner home is a pleasure. We may experience challenges and neglect our inner home, but it won’t last for long. We know its peace and want to get back there.

My inner home is a huge Opening as well as a place of wonder and solace that I am so grateful to have found.
