Here's how to make your home as calm and peaceful as realistically possible, the wellness way.
We know life feels overwhelming right now. “Normal” has become a thing of the past, and we’re spending the majority of our days at home, where we are now required to – somehow – balance our family and work lives. Between news alerts, the government’s daily briefings and social media, global headlines are a constant backdrop to our day, and while we can’t switch off from everything, our surroundings can impact how we feel immeasurably.
Countless studies prove that being in nature is good for alleviating the burden of anxiety, so it would stand to reason that a similar effect would occur when nature is broughtindoor plants reduce stress. As for what to buy, Blackett recommends golden pothos, which removes formaldehyde and benzene from the air, and aloe vera, which removes toxic compounds and produces oxygen at night rather than during the day – making it a good option for the bedroom.
As for keeping them effective, Knowles recommends cleansing and “charging” your crystals: “For those stones that are not soluble, bathe them in cold water before laying them outside or on your windowsill under a full moon. At other times in the month you can wash them and lay them in sand or salt overnight.”Candles are a great idea at the best of times and, as we’re finding now, they’re also brilliant at the worst.
