The Benefits of ‘Home’ Ownership

 To own your own home is a wonderful thing. After all, you OWN it! It is your space. You can decorate to your heart’s content. Re-decorate at any time and if you are so inclined, you can completely demolish and reconfigure the whole thing!

There are many benefits to owning your home but of course, there is the responsibility for the upkeep as well. Things get old and need replacing. It has to be cleaned, vacuumed and at times, you must remove unwanted “guests” such as spiders or other nasty little free loaders.

Those of you who often read my blog can probably already guess where I’m going with this. If you are a new reader, welcome to “Daily Muse” and please read on. 🙂

Whether or not you own the ‘place’ where you live, you already have your own home. Home really IS where the heart is!Your home is your BODY and there are amazing benefits to owning it and being HOME.

Your home is your sanctuary. A place to rest and be yourself. Your home holds your answers. When you own your home which includes the space within & around it, there is ease. It is a comfortable place for your spirit to live.

When was the last time you checked in with yourself to see what is inside? When you look there do you find it decorated to someone else’s tastes? Is it a comfortable place? Does it feel safe to be there? Do you mindlessly pick up the mail (other energy) and leave it any old place? Do you take your home for granted?

Just like owning the place you live, there are benefits AND the responsibility of caring for it. How often do you tend to your own needs and what your body wants? Are you getting enough rest? Taking time to de-stress? Do you have so much of your attention outside of you that you forget to come home?

I’ve always foumd it interesting when someone says to me that they don’t have time for themselves. Here’s a newsflash…YOU need to MAKE time for you to come home! No one else can do this for you. If you’re saying ‘I’ll be home for Christmas’ why not come home NOW?

Your spiritual essence is very smart! If ‘home’ needs redecorating, there are guests that are still there from the party last week, or dare I say unwanted guests that came to the party and never left, your spirit is going to hang around until you clear out a space for it to come home to!

One way to describe ‘hanging around’ is that spaced out feeling, as if you are watching yourself in a dream. When you bring yourself back home you find clarity, you are alert, have more energy and awareness increases.

All you have to do is take a few moments each day to clean out, update and take notice of what is really YOU in there! Cleaning is good for the soul and you have the ABILITY & RIGHT to clear out anything you want to! Your body is YOURS so OWN it! Your body..Your space…Your HOME.~Shine Your Light Debbie

Judgement, Fear & the Twilight Zone…

The energy of judgement is very prevalent in our society. I’m sure you’ll all agree that being judged by someone else doesn’t feel very good. 

We are judged by our looks, the color of our skin, body type, personality and even our religious beliefs among other things.

Living in Chicago and having the opportunity to watch as our politicians go on trial for corruption is interesting. 

Some are convicted and others, as in a more recent and very public case, are not. What seems to be missing is the actual TRUTH.

The energy of  judgement and being judged by a jury of your peers is something to be aware of even if you are not actually in a courtroom. It is an energy steeped in fear which causes division and limits.

I think most of us, on one level or another, are on trial every day. Much of the time WE put OURSELVES on trial and in doing so try to  “prove it”.

You  prove to your boss or clients you are doing your job, prove  your  love (proving is not expressing 🙂 ), prove to your parents you are doing the right thing  and in many instances, you even have to prove to yourself that you are beautiful and successful.

The ‘prove it’ trial of self judgement is the most energetically ‘charged’ of them all! Do you have judgement about your body? How much money you make? Whether you are good or better than someone else at what you do?

Is your personal jury deadlocked and stuck on a picture that you can’t or shouldn’t do something  because  you’re not good enough or you don’t deserve it? If so, what or whose information are you using to compare or prove it to?

You may be acting as both judge AND jury all in one and I’m just guessing but I’ll bet that YOU are your toughest critic! That being said, it’s worth taking a look at where that judgement comes from.

Take a step back and as a neutral observer notice if your judgements are based on truth or someone else’s picture/information on what it should be according to them?

There is a Twilight Zone episode that illustrates my point. In “Eye of the Beholder”. Janet Tyler is in hospital waiting for the outcome of her latest operation to be revealed. If not successful, she will be forced into a segregated area where others of her kind are kept.

This is a perfect example of how taking on someone else’s information creates fear & judgement. Were the witches on trial and put to death in Salem really witches or was it based on fear, gossip and incorrect information? 

If you feel the need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, how about finding what is true for YOU? I can tell you with a great deal of certainty that the way we judge ourselves and others comes from fear, pictures and concepts outside of us.

You can’t stop someone from judging you but you certainly don’t have to take on that judgement and live from it. Journey within and find  neutrality to free yourself from  judgement.  Find the space between the darkness & light to see  truth. ~Shine Your Light Debbie
