18/07/2018 Living In The Temple

We had a long weekend so we took a day to again design our space like a temple.

Started to think of 5 senses and imagine what kind of environment and objects we want to keep/discard. We used mind map

  • Taste: Tea sets, healthy vegan snacks
  • Sight: Plants, Candles, nice tea table 
  • Touch: Comfy cushions
  • Smell: Aroma pot
  • Sound: Cozy music that plays 24h

Good intention helps manifest our wishes and we have most of the things ready.

Now our house is really like a temple as we planned. It will help us feel home, grounded and renewed. This is the place we live everyday so I wanted to be a sacred place.

I'd like to quote this beautiful words from Buddha that inspired me a lot to make this fun project run:

“To live in a good environment,
to have planted good seeds,
and to realize that you are on the right path —
this is the greatest happiness.”

Thank you for spending your time to read this.
