It shouldn't really come as a surprise that the
outer environment has a direct effect on healing, but hooray, somebody has conducted a study that proves it.
So how do you apply that knowledge to your private self-healing routine?
I mean, it would be wonderful if we all had access to beautiful gardens like this one, had a gardener who could do all the work tending it when we were too sick, and could spend several hours there daily just
soaking up the sunlight and getting gentle exercise...
...but most of us don't really have that option.
So I propose decorating a healing corner in your home. Choose a spot where you can
see something beautiful, and place your day bed, hospital bed or relaxing comfy chair there. If you can't spare a good window position, put a beautiful
nature picture on the wall by your bed/chair. Decorate the corner with a few small things that cheer you up and keep it peacefully
clutter free. Place your
flare kit nearby, and any other props that help your pain. Then you can designate the whole area as a
healing zone, when you are there you do your best to focus on self care, relaxation and calm.
