5 home decor tips that support your self-esteem
Your self-esteem, inner strength, and personal power are rooted in your Solar Plexus chakra — the energy center that governs your sense of self-worth, independence, and confidence. Located in the area of your navel, the Solar Plexus chakra influences your stomach, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, and the middle part of your spine. This powerful energy center is where your “inner fire” burns, helping you take control of your life, form your own beliefs, and confidently express your true self.
When your Solar Plexus chakra is balanced, you feel empowered, confident, and capable of standing in your truth. But when it’s out of balance, it can lead to issues with self-esteem, lack of direction, and feeling disconnected from your personal power. Thankfully, there are various ways to nurture and heal this energy center, from yoga and meditation to creating a supportive home environment.
Your home plays a significant role in your healing journey. The environment you surround yourself with has a profound impact on your inner world. By bringing energy into your living space that nurtures your Solar Plexus chakra, you can enhance your self-esteem and boost your inner power.
So, how does your inner power feel right now? Is your Solar Plexus chakra in need of balance? If so, let’s turn your home into a space that supports this vital energy center.
Here are 5 ways to do just that:
1. Add in a fire element
– Decorate with candles. But please use non-toxic ones. Beewax is a good one, or if you are vegan, then coconut candles are a good choice. Check what the package says about the ingredients, as you should not be breathing in any bad chemicals.
– If you have a fireplace, make sure it gets your attention. If it is not working, it symbolizes inner fire being stuck. Fix it and clean it. You can also burn some candles inside the fireplace.
– When you think of fire – what does it mean to you? What colors, shapes, and materials come to your mind when you think of it? Add those into your home.
2. Make sure your power animal is visible to increase your inner power.
I wish you knew how many spirit animals you have all the time around you, offering you guidance. Some come and go, others stay the entire lifetime. But I bet you know one or two of them already. Do you feel drawn to any animal, even if you have never seen them? This is your power animal and wants to guide you, so allow it to happen.
Once you know your power animal – add a sign, picture, or anything that reminds you of it to your home. It does not need to be the center piece of your living room but can be a small thing, e.g., in your wardrobe, that you see every time you open the door.
3. Decorate with yellow and golden color to lift your energy
Solar Plexus chakra in 3D is yellow – in higher frequency 5D, it vibrates golden color. So whichever resonates more with you, add that in.
However, you will be lifting your energy higher if you focus more on the golden color. But do not overdo it – because it is such an intense color, and you don’t want your home to look like a tacky palace.
4. Make sure every room has a focal point, just like your solar plexus chakra.
When interior designers decorate rooms, they always make sure there is a focal point in every room. That powerful yet beautiful thing is the center of attention and catches your eye when you enter the room. It leaves an everlasting impression. After that, your eyes start to move to other things in the room. Everything else in the room is created around this point.
Remember how your home is your mirror – and as your Solar Plexus chakra holds the energy of your inner power, it is one of the first things others will notice when they first meet you. It is YOUR focal point! So make sure that:
– All rooms have a focal point, which can be a window, fireplace, artwork, furniture, etc.
– The focal point is beautiful, powerful and everything you want to represent in life.
5. Show your inner power with statement pieces.
Statement pieces are unique, interesting, attractive, and bold things that show your personality. It can be your focal point, but it can also be the exciting thing you see right after the focal point.
Statement pieces hold usually strong energy. When you add statement pieces that feel powerful, it boosts your inner power. So add those unique touches into your home that you want to add in but hesitate.
