Home is a mirror of Self - Hiraeth

It can be self-empowering to re-imagine the content of home as a metaphor for the way life is; seeing the home as a mirror of Self and responding by making changes in the home that are a call for change in personal life. To view a house in this way is a therapeutic experience. The psychology behind this is Jungian in flavour. The experience is Synchronistic, acknowledging that; where things are placed in the home and matters that arise in the home may have meaningful coincidence.

 

Beyond its commodity and comfort, your taste, its style and design, your home is full of meaning, symbolic of how things are. The psychology of home is a modern day phenomenon; not spiritual, not material but ‘imaginal’ – Your home is a place of images and impressions that tell your story, taking you closer to the truth about the way that your life is.

 

Our culture is longing for home, a home makeover is not just about fabric and things, it is much more about YOU – So what are you longing for and how might working with your house help you?

"Hireath" is not just longing or homesickness, it is a heart-felt calling for home. Not only Welsh people feel it, we acknowledge it because the feeling is timeless and the Welsh language is ancient .

 

You can start to do homesouls® yourself. For inspiration read my blogs , and my own book; ‘The Secret of Home’, is a self-help guide, it describes a process for change that I call homesouls™ . My research took place in hundreds of UK homes over a period of 14 years. With the Glass Runes The Secret of Home becomes an Oracle for the home.
