“The soul moves in circles” -Plotinus.
Have you ever thought about your living space and how much of a difference it makes on how you breathe and express in your life?
Rachel Ross of Mandala Custom Homes states that if what Plotinus said is true then – “Hence, our lives do not proceed in straight lines, but reverberate and reflect around and around like a beautifully patterned 
mandala. Perhaps this is why it feels so good to be in a round space.”
It also feels right and good to be in connection with nature within our homes from the materials that we build our homes with, to the way that they interface with nature. Having just spent a couple of weeks in my friends home at Dreaming Forest Farm housesitting with the sound of a stream nearby, and the presence of trees all around, calmed my being and allowed breathing spaces inside of me to expand and be nurtured.
Whether you are in the city, the country, on the coast, in the desert, or in the mountains the opportunity to create breathing room for all that live within is at your fingertips. Clear, clean, and sustainable spaces contribute to your well being and the environments.
EcoNest co-creator Paula Baker-Laporte says:

“Our dwelling is our interface with nature. The average person spends 90-95% of their time indoors. In order to enjoy optimum health and well being, we depend on this envelope not just to moderate our climate but also to embrace nature in its majesty and vitality. ….living in harmony with nature is essential to our physical, mental, and spiritual well being.” –
Sustainable homes that support the ecology of the environment that they are in, as well as our own inner ecology – and the creation of beauty and sanctuary in our home – makes certain that the environment one spends a great deal of time in is a true “breathing space”.
Our living spaces are vitally important for our vibrancy, well being and relationships to each other and the earth. I invite you to go to both Mandala Custom Homes page through Facebook, and EcoNest (links above) to start dreaming into expanding your breathing room and that of our planets!
