(Vlog) Location, Location – Are you in your right place?
Are you living in the inner city, suburbs, rural countryside, mountains, coast, on the road, or somewhere else?
Since early man we have been very aware of our surroundings, or location. It’s essential to our survive. We need safe place to shelter. And a comfortable one that is a comfortable temperature, and protected from wind and water.
Yet it is more complex today. There are many factors to environment.
When people talk of the importance of Location, Location, Location, they are usually referring to houses, or business buildings, places we buy or rent. Or even a garden we may plant.
Yet what about our own location?
This is a more fluid thing, for unlike buildings, we can move, even if it feels challenging to do so.
Every region, every city has a unique energy and atmosphere. It comes from the land beneath, the trees, rivers, mountains, buildings, history and people and influences who-so-ever lives or visits there.
I have felt the strong differences in the feeling of the land between the many countries I have visited and lived in, and part of why I live part of the year in different places is just for this reason.
So I can immerse myself in these different energies as their uniqueness supports my health, heart, mind, work and creativity in different ways.
One does not need to go somewhere for long – even in one or two days we can pick up the buzz of London, absorb the romance and art of Paris, feel revived and inspired by the ocean, find stillness in the mountains, relaxed by forests and wilderness. But when you do make time for this – you will find yourself changing, letting go, feeling better.
We often forget to pause in our busy lives, to stop and see if our location is still good for us.
I just took the relaxing train from London to the hills, terracotta villages and vineyards of north Provence, where I will be based till the end of June. I come here, and run private and group retreats here, as in all my exploring of the SW of France, the region where I stay at the foot of Mt Ventoux, has the most powerful, nourishing, inspiring and healing energy.
As I just arrived I have been really feeling the difference (though the sunshine and heat expands and relaxes one, its much deeper and more powerful than just that, something in the land itself).
So in today’s vlog for you I wanted to explore the energy of different regions. Of what to look out for, how to check if your location is right for you?
Location, Location – How to tell if you’re in your right place
I would love to hear what you feel about the location you live in.
Does it feel right, nourishing? Or could it be time for you to spend time in another place with different energy. And if so, where would that be?
And do Share this vlog if you have friends who you might like to check if they are in the right location right now.
With love,
