Home & Dreams have a Brain-Gut Connection
Home life is about safety on the deepest level.
Home is the first soil in our life as what we learned to be true at home becomes part of us.
In turn, our inner life reflects back into our home (for as long as we live) because it’s where our deepest beliefs are exposed.
This is a powerful relationship that creates powerful space.
Our dreams feed our home with vision and our home provides safety for our dreams.
They are deeply connected and constantly informing one another. And the effects spill into all areas of life.
What follows then is a need for a holistic view of home & inner life. Watering our dreams, strengthening our creativity, tending our relationships, and nurturing our homes need to work in harmony to create a balanced personal (eco)system.
Because the home can't be separated from its people and their dreams. . . And because people can't keep their dreams, thoughts, and parenting out of the home. . . Therefore we should strive to see the whole picture. Our home effects who we are and our thoughts and emotions effect our home.
Both the brain-gut connection and the home-inner life connection benefit from intention - the intention to address the whole person, the whole picture.
How will you see your home & inner life with intention this week?
