So...J and I have been working really hard on really turning our house into a home. We had every room painted and we've been busy decorating and designing and...buying...buying...buying. And best of all, we've been throwing out things we no longer need or use...LOTS of things.
The space feels so open and beautiful right now. Incredibly peaceful.
In the meantime, I've been studying Zen meditation and specifically zazen meditation. When I study something, I also talk about it so J has sort of gotten into it with me.
We've been counting our breaths together and meditating together and discovering zazen together and I LOVE it.
In the process of getting rid of all our junk, we completely changed what used to be the lounge (and what was the dining room when the previous owners had the house) and we turned it into a meditation room!
Soon it will also have workout equipment but since we don't want to destroy the beauty of it with a giant eliptical machine or treadmill, today we're going out to buy two Asian screen room dividers. This way, the equipment can hide behind those when they're not being used.
In addition, J is going to mount a wi-fi television on one wall for playing music and videos with nature sounds or smooth jazz or any kind of soft peaceful tones to it. We opted for a television instead of a music system because when the kids are all here, they do like being able to watch in other rooms so we thought it would be good to have one more. As for us...we'll never watch it. LOL
So...want to see some pictures? This is absolutely my favorite room (outside of the bedroom, of course) in the house. I simply LOVE it!
Much Love,
Mercedes
