Inviting Strangers in Our Sanctuary

Friday's inspirational thoughts for a happy and fulfilling day.   [View Online]( INSPIRATION [Inviting Strangers in Our Sanctuary]( When we share the joy of our homes, we radiate our light rather than hide it behind closed doors. When we have created a sanctuary in our home, it’s easy to share our space with those we know well. But it can sometimes be jarring to have the outside world come into our homes, such as strangers like cleaners, contractors, or technicians. Acquaintances of our partners or friends of children also bring something new and different. If we resist their presence, treating them as an intrusion, we restrict the free flow of energy and may miss the gift they bring. Instead, we can choose to treat their energy as an exchange as well as an exercise in acceptance. Before their arrival, we can prepare by envisioning light surrounding our bodies and radiating outward from the core of our homes. We may want to create a calm and welcoming environment by playing meditation music or lighting incense. We can remove tension for all involved by putting away our valuables. Then when they arrive, we claim our boundaries by guiding them through their visit — asking them to remove their shoes, offering them a place to put their tools, and indicating by example to speak softly or not use harsh language. Finally, remember that we learn about life by connecting with others. Our homes don’t need to be used as a way to keep people out. Instead, it can be a welcoming place where we accept and offer gratitude for the presence and gifts of others. When we share the joy of our homes, we radiate our light rather than hide it behind closed doors. The more we do this, the more the outside world can become like the sanctuary we’ve created inside. ❁ Did you miss yesterday's inspiration?
