Stress has been a buzzword for 10 or more years now. And finding a peaceful place or peaceful time for solitude is a challenge for most. But, have you ever thought of creating that peaceful place in or around your own home?
We seem to go places to find that peace or solitude like: the gym, yoga classes, pilates, the beach, church, library, a hike, a coffee shop or quiet restaurant.
Every home has enough space to create your own peaceful place. With thoughtful landscaping an out of the way area can become your peaceful place. Think about spirit gardens, meditation gardens, herb gardens, dripping water fountains...all sensory and spirit rich, fun to work on and not difficult to do. The 3 key elements in gardens for reflection and meditation are: water, lush green plants and comfortable seating. Moving or dripping water can mask distractions like noise from traffic. Plants provide shade, visual interest and oxygen.
Your "look" can be minimalist, artistic and practical. That way, your peaceful place doesn't become another work place...So think about that and maybe visit a plant nursery to get some ideas.
