The Relationship Area is about nurturing relationships, traditionally it includes those with a spouse or partner. The most important relationship of all however, is the inner relationship you cultivate with yourself. Many of us go through life doing what is expected, what other people want us to do, while putting our innermost dreams aside. You are a precious being and you truly deserve unconditional love, especially from yourself. Buddha said, “You, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
How do you take care of yourself? Do you make time for yourself? Do you think nurturing yourself would be a good investment of time? What might the rewards be?
And, on the other hand, what might it cost you personally to not take care of yourself — to give yourself your love and affection?
~*~ When to Enhance the Relationship Area ~*~
To improve relationships of all kinds, practice taking care of your own inner needs first, and you will have more to offer to your relationships with others.
~*~ Colours to Use ~*~
Traditionally, the colour for the Relationship Area is red, pink and white, but I encourage my clients to consider the colours that give them a feeling of being loved and taken care of.
~*~ Element Symbols ~*~
The Element is Earth (Gaia, Mother Earth, nurturing energy). Put objects in this area that represent love to you, especially those you have a personal association with, such as wedding and anniversary photographs and gifts, as well as flowers, cupids, and heart shapes. For improved relationships with family, display happy photos of you with people you love.
~*~ Life Symbols ~*~
Use any objects and items that give you a sense of your own self worth.
~*~ How to Use ~*~
Use any of the enhancements of colour, element symbols or life symbols in the Relationship area of your home.
