Do you respect your surroundings??
Do you respect the home in which you live?
When there is a lack of respect for the home, it ceases to be a sacred place. The walls of the house stop helping. The atmosphere thickens, and joy and a sense of safety fade away.
Do you regularly clean your house? Do you keep it organized? Do you repair what’s broken, clean what’s dirty, and keep things in their place?
What kind of clothes do you wear at home—old, dirty, torn ones? Is your home such that you would be ashamed to invite strangers in?
Or maybe you wear nice, clean, beautiful home clothes? Do you like buying beautiful household items and care about cleanliness? Do you give old things a second life? If so, you respect your home and yourself in it.
Perhaps you buy gifts for your home: beautiful kitchen towels, lovely dishes, and others? These are gifts for the house. They create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, and the soul feels good, warm, as if the house is thanking you…
How do you communicate in your home? Do you shout with aggression at your loved ones or pets? If you swear, send insults, gossip, slander, or wish harm, these are signs of disrespect for the home.
If it’s different, it means you respect your home. Your own personal resources and protective space. This is where personal power opens up.
Do you let everyone into your home indiscriminately? A company of bad friends who shout, make a mess, destroy things, complain for hours, gossip, and greedily look at your home’s appearance? Or mock it: saying how small it is, how ugly the wallpaper is, or how dull the view from the window is?
And if such a person visits your home, do you wash the floor after they leave, clean the house to “clear it out”?
These are signs of respect for the home as a sacred place: a place of protection, shelter, and resources. And these are signs of respect for yourself. Because the home is a projection of our personality. And it is respect for the Universe, for its laws. Because the home is a symbol of the Cosmos.
The more we respect our home, the more we feel protected and nourished by it. Even if we are far from home, it protects us by the mere fact of its existence. It is a symbol of protection and life.
And respect is the main principle of interacting with the world…
