Mind vs Places

Places have great impact on our lives.Places can alter our personality, mind and even body structure. The way we think and behave is governed by places to some extent. Thats why we feel relaxed when we visit any religious place and feel upset where something wrong has happened. I believe places breathe there not like bricks and walls breathe, but the aura of humans who are living or have lived there breathe. Energy or aura gathered by bricks and walls is reflected back somehow and when we stay there that energy or aura clashes with our energy. Four walls which have witnessed the constant fighting, yelling and bloodshed are bound to transmit a negative aura. On the contrary, those places where artists, saints and good souls dwell transmit soothing energy which forces us to go deep into ourself.

And there are some places that turn out negative with course of time because somehting happens to you and you start perceving your surroundings from a different perspective resulting in negative energy. And there are some places which never let you go even if you try hard to run away from those walls. Maybe our mind is obsessed with irrelevant things which never let us think about ourself when we live in those places. We remain busy thinking about what's not important to us.

I had never experinced such kind of situations, but I got a chance to experience it. I used to live in a hostel at Dey street, a tiny room just like a prison cell. Then my brother came down from Auckland to stay with me. I started experiencing bizaare things around me. I felt like I'm lethargic and don't wanna do anything the whole day. I never used to sleep at night and during day time I used to spend most of my time outside. I wanted to run away from that place ,but it seemed that those four walls had chained me and I found it hard to break away. Nohting was going in my favour. I spent one year there and in the end when it was getting from bad to worse , I had to force open from that claustrophobia. Such is the power of places. Those funny places!

When you contruct a house, spare one room where you can sit alone and gather your exhausted energy. Decorate the room with some good indoor green plants, paint the walls with soothing colours like white. Keep some good literature and holy books. A place in there you follow your passionate hobby. Thats your space, your territory and your domain and thats one place you don't want to be invaded.
