Spiritual Homes: Where Is Yours?

Good afternoon, everybody!  I hope you all had a nice weekend and are doing well today.  It is sunny and warm here in GA.  Good walking weather!
  Today I am posting about spiritual homes.  There are several different kinds of spiritual homes, with the most well known being heaven.  I am writing about other types of spiritual homes, however.  There can be spiritual homes that are actual places on this earth, and spiritual homes that exist only in our imagination.  Some spiritual homes are on other planes of existence, but are just as real as those homes that are firmly set on this earth.
  You may be wondering what the heck is a spiritual home, and where is mine?  A spiritual home is the place we feel the most comfortable and the most fulfilled.  It is where our heart is satisfied, and we feel content. Our soul is at peace in our spiritual home.  Of course, our bodies are our spiritual home, and I hope you feel at peace there.  We do have other spiritual homes though.  If you have not found your spiritual home yet, perhaps this information will help you identify one
  The first type of spiritual home is a house or place that is   actually on this earth. It may be a home you live in, one you grew up in, or just a place that calls to you.  You are very blessed if you live in a home that provides you with a strong sense of peace and contentment.  This is a home that you would never considering selling or leaving.  Only a truly dire situation would make you give up this home.  It is not just a house, it is your heaven on earth.  When you step into this home, it welcomes you like an embrace.  You may have filled your home with many types of spiritual or religious icons and other blessed objects.  Your home has true warmth and anyone who enters comments on the lovely, peaceful atmosphere.  You may do many spiritual rituals in this home because it is a special, protected place.  I do not think you will  have any trouble recognizing your home if this describes your residence.  Your home may be rich or poor, a shack or a mansion, but above all, it is a place of great peace and spirituality.
   Another type of spiritual home that is on this earth,  or was at one time, is a home where you once resided.  This might be your childhood home, where you grew up.  It could also be a home where you lived, at another time in your life.   Either one of these types of spiritual homes may still be standing, or they may no longer be there.  Perhaps in the fullness of time they have been torn down, or as I prefer to think, returned to Mother Nature. 
   A spiritual home where we once actually resided can call to us many times over the years.  This would have been a home where we felt great happiness and contentment.  This home would have been filled with a strong love, peace and warmth.  It may have been your family home.  Maybe you were blessed with a happy childhood in this home, and have never forgotten the place.  If you are a mature person, this could have been where you raised your own children, and felt your most satisfaction.  You will often look back longingly at this spiritual home, and will dream about it from time to time.  When you think of heaven and the next life, you may hope that your home there will be just like the one you remember.  Your current home may be quite satisfactory, but no place ever really comes up to your dreams of the old place.  This was one of your spiritual homes, and it will live in your memory forever.
    Some spiritual homes are real places on earth, but not actually houses.  They may be certain countries, cities, areas, and locales.  These places are not just your idea of heaven on earth, but places that speak to you so strongly, it is hard for you to tear yourself away from them.  You want to be in this place, and if it is possible, you want to make your home there.  This type of spiritual home could be on the beach, in the woods, in the mountains, or anyplace that truly calls your name.  As an example, let's say you go on vacation to another state.  You have never been to this state before, it just sounds appealing to you.  When you arrive, your first sight of this place is almost overwhelming.  It takes your breath away.  You feel totally connected to this place, and you may even have a sense of deja vu.  You may feel you have been there before, and that this is your home. You might have a past life experience there, or just a sense of intense peace.  You feel whole, fulfilled, in touch with your God or Goddess, your higher power.  It is not just the scenery of this place that makes you feel this way. It is a sense of coming home.  You know you have found one of your spiritual homes, and you do not wish to ever leave.
  Spiritual homes are important and in my next few blogs I will continue discussing them.  We will look at other types of spiritual homes and some ways to use that information.  Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.
