Peaceful living  is about nurturing the spirit of peace through spatial simplicity and tranquility. It’s transforming your spirit from the outside, in – from an outer place of peace to your inner space of peace. We call this exterior space a nurturary and define it as a quiet room or spatial retreat. It supports quiet contemplation, relaxation, prayer or meditation. It is the outer or external space of peace that allows us connect to our inner space of peace.

People have varying sensitivities to their interior environment. Some people are more comfortable with aesthetic simplicity than others. For some it is a preference, for others, a necessity, and for many, completely insignificant. But there are people who seek simplicity in their environment and in their lives.

Unless you are a hoarder, your space cannot nurture you if it is full of stuff.  Even hoarders admit they have too much stuff, they just don’t know how to let go of it.  But detaching, in some ways, from our stuff can give us a broader perspective on who and where we are in life.  It is certainly one of the reasons I have included a post on “attachment” because I think it bears much relevance to the condition of a nurturing space.

Peaceful living  anchors the spirit in a fixed space allowing us to find our inner space of peace from an exterior place of peace.  Creating a nurturary may involve:

• decluttering, organizing or rearranging a space to restore composure and calm
• developing quiet rooms, spatial retreats and de-stress stations
• creating spatial nurturing that supports a lifestyle of health, simplicity, prosperity and peace
