The Jewel of Life System: Introducing The Facet of Environment & Surroundings

This post was originally written as part of the earlier Jewel of Life framework. While the language and structure of the work has evolved, the reflections shared here still speak to themes explored within Mind, Body, Spirit, and Style. You can learn more about the current Jewel of Life framework here.

Environment & Surroundings is a main facet in The Jewel of Life System, which is all about self-preservation and creating harmony in our physical spaces.

The places that we spend most of our time in such as our work and home, play a huge role in how we feel and subsequently operate, and so it is important that we create environments that support our wellbeing and happiness.

However, as our spaces are often shared with others it means that the energy that is cultivated will be a culmination of the people in it. This also means that things won’t always feel as harmonious as we would like. Whilst we can’t control the energy of others, we can control our own and so it is important to find ways to create as much peace and serenity for ourselves as possible.

However, our environments aren’t just influenced by the vibration of ourselves and others. The energy of the physical objects found within them also play a vital part too. This is why we need to be intentional with our contents.

It’s easy for our physical possessions to accumulate over time, but if we don’t keep them organised then they can soon turn into clutter, causing us both internal and external chaos. Clutter not only affects our efficiency but also the energy within and around us, which means that it can stop us from receiving anything new into our lives.

When our environments are clutter free and we surrounded with things that make us feel good we raise our personal vibration, which then creates a sense of inner peace and happiness.

So Goddess, how does your environment make you feel? Does the energy feel fresh and light or heavy and stagnant? Do you feel safe in your surroundings or stressed and unstable? How tidy and organised are your physical places? What systems can you put in place to keep things more efficient? How can you add your own personal style to make your surroundings more pleasing?
