GARDEN PLEASURES.

It is feasible to create harmony and profusion by augmenting home and workplace energies.

The idea of sacred space is as old as humanity itself. By recognizing that something bigger than ourselves with larger purpose exists, we create an environment where a feeling of the holy can be realized in the details of our common-or-garden lives and in ourselves. Let's take a look at 3 environments in which you may create holy space : your house, office, and garden. Making Holy Space in your house Bringing the sacred into the everyday, carving out holy space in the domestic sphere, can be done in any amount of ways. It can serve as evidence of the job spirit plays in your life. We are able to make a space where we will be able to come into contact with all that lies both inside us and outside us. Color is definitely one facet of the great outdoors that adapts well to limitless ideas and chances. Merely a piece of white picket fencing in a plush wildflower garden will have that added punch of visible appeal and a certain nostalgic feeling too. A glass-top terrace table can be adapted to a basket of fruit, or flowers. A porch swing, if part of the porch itself or simply on its own in a perfumed array of flowers, is a joy to sit on and to take in the smells and eye-delights of this season. A wooden gazebo adds so much to a garden without being too showy or outstanding.

Fun objects like butterflies, angels, tiny play benches, or bird baths give a light touch to any area that is too major or intense. You should know that your work can make a contribution to the world and that your office space can reflect this design. You can make a special corner of your garden with a bench for sitting, a tiny waterfall, or a living altar to Mother Earth, one that pulls birds and butterflies and other living creatures to your holy space. A fountain, bird feeder or a bench can be added.
