Hi loves and welcome back to our Thursday Q &A show where today I’m so excited to talk about something very important, our home environment. And specifically, five accessible ways to create a home environment that nurtures inner peace and creativity. So while we want to focus on our diet and our meditation practice and our emotional wellbeing practices like journaling and so on and so forth.

We cannot ignore that the spaces we create around us directly influence our energy. There’s a lot of research around this as well when it comes to colors, when it just comes to research or not though, we can intuitively feel when we feel good in a certain space. And this is one of the reasons that we may be drawn to certain restaurants because of the ambiance, because of the energy. And it’s why we’re drawn to certain rooms in our own home.

So rather than limit our environment to thinking about just our, you know, the sacred time we spend in our bathroom, of course, especially, you know, many of us love our bathroom time, myself included, or our little meditation corner. We want to start to think about where we’re spending a lot of time in the home, but also where we’re working, in our office, in our cubicle, or again, just where we happen to be a lot of the time.

So I’m very excited to get into our show today and again, to leave you with five practical takeaways based on experience, based on research, which we’ll talk about first, and based on just my own insights and having lived in some amazing places and also living in some places that haven’t felt so good. And it really can damper our creativity and our clarity and our health.

Before we dive in deeper, just wanted to remind you that I am here on video. You can see me waving. Check it out on our YouTube channel. If you want to come into my sacred space down here, which is my office, it’s underneath my house, but still has a beautiful view of the mountains. And I just turned in my book edits yesterday for our next adult book, which will be published on September 17th. I’m very excited. I meditate down here. My kids,

Kimberly Snyder (02:23.79)
play down here, they write on the whiteboard. This place feels so nurturing to me as I move through. So anyways, not to get off topic up here. And you can also keep listening on Apple and Spotify if you want to continue to listen in your commutes, on your walks, wherever, while you’re cooking, whatever it is. Also remember that on mysaloon .com, we will have the show notes that will link to the research as well as recipes, meditations, and more. All right, let’s get right into our show today.

And our question comes from Franny who lives in Michigan. Franny, thank you so much for being a part of our community and also a living, breathing part of the show today by submitting your amazing question, which is, I have been setting up a space in my home to meditate, but beyond the mat and yoga cushion, I’m wondering if you can share some tools that have helped you stay connected throughout the whole day and not just in my yoga space.

I think this is a really important topic because there is immeasurable benefit to feeling really good in your home environment. I remember, I think it was already in high school, my mom was really into feng shui, which comes from the East and it’s this idea that you think about what you see and you become your thoughts, right? So,

how the home environment is actually directly fueling your ability to manifest and create dreams in your life. And this is one of the reasons that people create vision boards. This is one of the reasons I think that home decor and interior design is such a huge thing today. If you look on Pinterest, there’s thousands and thousands of posts around this topic. But rather than approach it from a more linear mindset, whereas we want everything to kind of look

perfect and put together and we want to impress our friends when they come over. We want to post it on Pinterest ourselves. We want to make sure that on a deeper level it is nurturing our wellness. So one of the interesting studies that came forth in this research came from the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin from 2009, which found that there was a definite relationship between our home environment.

Kimberly Snyder (04:48.334)
and our well -being. Women that perceive their homes as cluttered or chaotic experienced higher levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and reported greater feelings of fatigue and depression compared to those who described their homes as restorative and restful. So I have certain relatives who shall remain unnamed and they love to collect. They have virtually no clear space on countertops, on tabletops.

coffee table, you have to move things around to even use certain kitchen items, kitchen equipment is surrounded by clutter. And whilst some of it is beautiful for sure and elegant and all of that, I don’t feel great in those spaces. I can really attest to the truth of this study because I start to feel more cluttered inside. And this wonderful woman definitely feels more anxious as well. So I wonder.

If we were to just peel away a lot of that stuff, how it would shift her mindset. I also had a grandmother growing up who I love very much. I would spend the summers there or at least a few weeks here and there. And what I came to recognize much later in life was that she was on that spectrum of being a kind of a hoarder. And she kept so much stuff that over time there was boxes lining the hallways and it…

definitely affected her health. She just became more inward and less mobility moving around. She started having people over less. So these are some more extreme things. But one of the things that we can begin to consider, first of all, is to turn this into introspection and to consider to yourself how you feel in your home environment. Take an honest self -assessment, not just…

Oh, well, people gave me this stuff. It’s really expensive and it looks good. Or, you know, this is designed really well, but how do you actually feel? And it’s a similar way that we want to dive into our intuition when we’re considering which foods best serve our body that day, that season, that period in our life. Because sometimes things shift and you may wake up to realizing that suddenly the really dark cushions,

Kimberly Snyder (07:11.63)
don’t feel so good anymore and you’re looking for more lightness or you may wake up to realizing that there have been excess tables and chairs and clutter that you just never moved before but now you’re starting to feel a sense of wanting more expansion and space. So pay attention to how you feel within yourself.

And then here’s another interesting study, a little spoiler alert. This will be one of our points we talk about in just a moment. But a study published in the Journal of Horticology in 2000 found that plants in the indoor space increased productivity and helped by improving cognitive function and significantly reduced stress levels. It’s funny because I was doing a Zoom yesterday with a person who lived in New York City. When we do Zooms, I do a lot of Zooms. I’m grateful that I can work from home and be here in the sacred space, but still communicate with people, you know, sometimes great distances. But I can’t help but look into people’s spaces, right? And if you’re someone who does a lot of Zooms, I sit in a certain place and they see this part of my office and it looks nice and it sort of has this, you know, the feel that I want to convey, similarly to how I want to feel in my space.

Anyways, this person is working for a big media company. And what I saw in her background was just, I didn’t see any plants. I didn’t see any greenery. I saw some cleaning products. I saw like some whiteboards and some, you know, Sharpies and dry erase, you know, those pens and things like that. But I just, I wanted to tell her organically, please get a green plant or can I get you a green plant as a present?

And I’ve been on consultations where I have mentioned this to clients because there is something very powerful about bringing nature so close to us. We go to this amazing museum in Hawaii with a family and there is this part of the museum where we talk about how incredible the indigenous peoples lived there in huts in the jungle and they were living so close to the earth. And my older son said to me when we were at the museum,

Kimberly Snyder (09:29.198)
the last time a few months ago, he said, wow, people are really living in the nature like this. And I said, yeah, look, they can look right up at the stars and they can touch the ground. And this is so natural, so powerful, so healthy. Right. I just love that part of the museum. And there’s this part of us that is connected to that. And so on a practical level, we’re not all going to go to the jungle. We still like our conveniences, of course, we like being able to plug things in. We like having lights.

We like having stoves, but bringing plants in closer, not just when you’re strolling through the parking lot or just in your yard, but inside. It starts to bridge this gap of having this nature so close to us. It starts to nurture us in a very fulfilling, deep, beautiful way. And research backs that up. This is evidence -based. So another piece of research that I want to…

share with you came comes from the Journal of Experimental Psychology and what this found was there was a connection between there was an impact found on how the workplace was designed and employee well -being and productivity employees who were able to have more control over the workspace aka Personalizing it reported higher job satisfaction and lower stress levels compared to those with less control

So another personal story this brings up is that we went through the green card process finally with my husband a few months ago. We’ve been married now for five years. He is Canadian. We just, you know, with COVID and lots of other reasons we never had gone through it yet. So we, you know, very official, the government green card border control offices, downtown LA, we went there.

I remember when we met with the officer, there was no, nothing personal in this person’s office. And I think, you know, it has to be that way, but it was, you know, stacks of files and of course the computer and the keyboard, the chairs where we sit. But I remember thinking to myself, because our officer happened to be so kind and so warm and listened to podcasts. So I actually shared this podcast, our podcast with him. I don’t know if you ever listened to it or not.

Kimberly Snyder (11:53.838)
But I remember thinking to myself, wow, this would be quite challenging to get through a day sitting in a space that can feel cold and not energetically personalized to any degree. And so it makes complete sense to me that as the study said, well -being wise and also just satisfaction wise and productivity wise.

The truth is when I write down here, I feel amazing. And also my other favorite place to write is my cabin in Hawaii. And I’m looking out over the trees and there’s a different inspiration. That’s why we entitled this part of this creativity. Creativity is not something that we can force, but we are meant to be creative beings. We are meant to continuously express the truth of our nature. We’re meant to express our unique expression out into the world. There’s one and only.

You are one of a kind, but we need energy, we need space for that creativity to come forth. So we talk about creativity quite a lot in the community. I think it’s a very important part of wellness because when our creativity is squashed, we feel stagnant. That’s why it’s really important to open up the GI channels and tracks. That’s why it’s so important to take your detoxi. That’s why it’s important to have your glowing green smoothie and to have fiber and to have space in your body for creativity to flow.

In a similar way, we want to have that energetic flow in our environment. So when we get to the tips in just a moment, I will share more specifics. But once again, I invite you to go into yourself right now, specifically into your heart, and ask yourself, how do I feel in my workspace? And if you are a stay at home parent, that is your home environment workspace, how do I feel in my living room?

or how do I feel in the playroom where I am with my child all the time? Or how do I feel in my kitchen or driveway or wherever, you know, all these different spaces that we create. It’s really important that we start to think about that.

Kimberly Snyder (14:02.702)
Another story and study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology explored the relationship between sensory experiences and wellbeing. It found that when there was exposure to pleasant sights and scents, such as lavender, it significantly improved mood and reduced stress levels. So,

And we’re thinking about our home environment. We’re thinking about all the different senses that interact with that home environment. The type of lighting that you have, I think is quite key. And I’ll mention again, during the whole book writing process, I used a lot of candles, a lot of candlelight. There’s something very beautiful about bringing in the fire. Sense, colors, everything in your home about the sounds. If you live in quite a noisy space, like next to a freeway or your office is next to a really busy highway, you could also bring in…

white noise, a sound machine, something, and I’ve talked about the Hatch product, which is great for sleep. They have amazing natural sounds that are incorporated. And so we can use this in our home environment in different ways. All of this plays a role. And the last piece of research that I want to mention comes from the Journal of Clinical Psychology back in 2010. And it found that the effect in mindfulness -based interventions,

those that engage in their home environment, in meditation and deep breathing and felt comfortable doing this in these different environments found an increase of wellbeing and a reduction of stress and anxiety and depressive symptoms. So we spend a lot of time at home. We spend a lot, I want to expand this though into our workspace as well. We want to feel comfortable. We want to feel like we can breathe fully and most importantly,

be ourselves. So when we can, that’s part of our expression, right? It’s sort of like clothing. We don’t want to spend perhaps the end all be all of our time shopping. I know I don’t, I don’t really like shopping so much, but I like wearing clothes that feel good. And it’s nice to choose things and to put them on. And it makes you feel, you know, alive and present and you just feel.

Kimberly Snyder (16:24.76)
different and good in your body. And so as we get into our five accessible ways, I want you to really remember that just like your diet, just like your particular personality or your expression of the true self, your soul blueprint is going to be a bit different than everyone else’s. And so when it comes to creating the sacred spaces that feel really good to you,

It’s going look different for you. And you really have to come on this level that’s not so linear and mechanical, but really go into your heart and your gut and start to choose from this deeper, more resonant place of what really feels good to me moving through my space. So the first point that we want to talk about is decluttering. Before we even talk about adding in…

we need to talk about taking out. So this is very much in alignment with our digestion principles. This is where all the cornerstones intersect, right? So when we think about cleaning the blood and cleaning your GI tract, we don’t want to just take probiotics, although probiotics are absolutely critical. We also want to get rid of stop gaps, stagnation, and all that accrues in our system.

over time. That’s why the detox is so powerful. We need to get things out. So what I would encourage you to do first of all is to move through room to room in your home environment, in your workspace and get rid of as much as possible. I’ll share with you that I had a room hidden away. The laundry room. It’s not so hidden away. It’s attached to the kitchen. But I started to get behind.

So I have a P .L. box where all these podcast books come, people pitching to be on our show. And I get dozens and dozens of books. And I try to go through them in a timely way. But a lot of times, you know, my assistant will come and she’ll get all the books and all the products and everything that are sent that I have to try. And I don’t have the bandwidth at that moment to go through. So they kept getting piled and piled into the laundry room.

Kimberly Snyder (18:42.734)
and it was starting to become like the worst hoarders nightmare. Like those shows they used to have could barely get to the laundry machine. And I said, I can’t live with this anymore. So for many weeks and months, I would close the door and I pretend it wasn’t as bad as it was, but it really was affecting my wellbeing. It didn’t feel good to have so much clutter. Cleaning out felt so good.

And I did it in a day, less than a day. I did it in a few hours. It took some energy. It took some time, donation pile and, you know, giving things away and certain things to throw out or whatever. But even now when I think about the laundry room and just the space in there, it is amazing. So please give yourself this gift of decluttering and put aside some time and energy towards it. And I think you will be amazed at how much you can recycle.

giving it to other people that would enjoy them. You can give them a whole new life, whether that’s clothes or books or objects that you used to love on your shelves and now you don’t love them anymore or kitchen stuff or whatever it is. Just rid yourself of things and it’s going to be huge. I cannot wait to get to this office. I’m thinking about it. It says, now that I’ve turned in my book.

I will be doing this because it’s another thing about decluttering is that we have to do it periodically because I did it, you know, two years ago or so, but things continue to accrue. So similarly to digestion, we want to get things out as much as possible. And so remember that this was found to those that decluttered their homes had less fatigue and less depression. So make this a priority. It is the first step in creating a space for stillness, peace and creativity.

We cannot feel great if there is clutter everywhere. And I’ve gotten a lot of organization boxes and no, actually baskets. I love those woven baskets that come from Africa and then you support some communities there for my kids’ choice. It drives me bananas when things are out everywhere. I’m sure my busy parents out there can sympathize.

Kimberly Snyder (20:59.278)
So we just want, for me, baskets are great. Maybe it’s not the most organized, but we just toss things in the baskets and line up the baskets. Wow, do I feel so much better? The next point is incorporating nature. So we touched on this with a study earlier about how powerful it was to bring plants into your home space. Not just in a touchy -feely way, like, hmm, you know, plants are pretty, which they are, but there is something about, um,

again, from the Journal of Environmental Psychology, that they help to reduce stress, enhance mood, and improve cognitive function. So I think this may have to do with the fact that they had their own little energy fields, right? And so they’re in this certain resonance. And when I did my neurofeedback training, they talk about the Schumann’s resonance, the Schumann wave, sort of like the vibration of the earth.

that was different than the alpha brainwaves and the theta and the delta ones that we have as humans. So I think that there’s things we can see, like the beautiful colors and the greenery and the shape of the leaves. And we want to definitely use our intuition here and go with what plants definitely feel the most, the ones we connect with. But also there’s things that I think we don’t see with the naked eye and that has to do with the vibration of these plants, which in essence are breathing and living. And so holding space.

How often do we go hiking in nature? I’m going on a hike, or my daily walk, I call it a hike, but it’s, you know, it’s in the neighborhood, but there’s definitely a dirt road component, it goes off into a trail. When I go on this walk, and I just feel so much better, and I feel calmer, and I feel clear, there’s just a different energy of being in nature. And so it’s something that we can bring in to a degree by having these home plants.

in our space. And so I encourage you to put them in all rooms. We have beautiful hanging ones in the bathroom, plants all around our kitchen. I will show you some pictures there in the upper shelf where some people might put, you know, kitchen baskets or whatever. It’s all plants for me. I have some plants here in my office that I’m looking at directly in my eyeline. We have a enormous monstera which might take over our bed at some point. It’s one.

Kimberly Snyder (23:24.152)
Huge plant in the corner and another one in the other corner. Anyways, the point is I have experienced this truth even though we have big yard and lots of plants outside, having them inside feels so good. So try it for yourself after you’ve decluttered before you think about more stuff like more pillows, more, you know, things to put on the shelves. Try filling in with the plants first.

And then after that, see what other objects would work, but the plants are going to add so much value. I’m very excited for you to check that out. Number three, altars in every room. Now, when I talk about altars, and this goes back to Franny’s amazing question that we started the show with. Franny, again, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. You said, how do we stay connected through the whole day and not just in my yoga space? When I’m talking about an altar,

I’m not talking about having to be a literal altar that you might see at a church or another, you know, site of spiritual or religious worship, although that may resonate with you as well. But an altar is a focus point. And an altar is where you can put your fullest expression into what you want to be that focal point. So for instance, we have an altar in our kitchen that is

focused around the family. There are framed family pictures. There’s a statue of Quan Yin who’s said to be the protector, specifically of male babies since we have two sons. We have a painting of our family by the amazing artist Marie Fetty who from Rome, she does home paintings. If you’re interested, you can check her out on social. And some crystals and things that feel really good in a plant. So it’s a type of altar.

And every time I walk into the kitchen, the way it’s set up, there’s this focal point on it and it feels really good. It feels really nourishing. The altar in our living room is over the fireplace. There’s one of the altars where we do have plants and we do have a Shiva Nataraj as well as some other objects. The altar here in my office is a more traditional

Kimberly Snyder (25:45.518)
alter with pictures of the gurus. There’s pictures of Yogananda and Jesus and those that I connect with and candle and there’s a little container to burn sage and some incense and things like that. So it keeps me in that vibration of connected and always wanting to connect deeper with the true self in my heart, not getting up caught up into the pace of the modern busy world, right? And the stressful thoughts.

So seeing that altar even in the midst of my workspace, and it’s not in the eye line for people in my Zoom or people coming here to do the podcast, they see it when they walk in, but they’ll sit over there. It feels really good to me. So what I would consider for your personal altars is what is of the highest value to you? It could be, so think about altars just as a focal point. It could be pictures of your pets or your…

family members or some little statues or memories from a vacation, seashells or a souvenir that you picked up, framed pictures, candles, crystals, anything, really anything goes when it comes to an altar, but it’s a beautiful point. And one of the things that we had talked about earlier from my You Are More Than You Think You Are book is

When you’re thinking about your purpose or your sort of your warriors manifesto, there’s a chapter in that book about being a warrior for yourself and showing up and combining your unique essence with serving others. So you don’t just become a warrior for yourself, but you become a warrior within yourself for the greater good. It’s nice to keep your purpose where you can see it.

So you can fold it up on a piece of paper. I like to have it underneath an object on my altar so it’s sticking out. So not everybody can read it, but I know what it is and it keeps it alive. It keeps that fire burning in your heart, remembering what it is that we’re working towards here. So I have one right now that I wrote recently back to it’s important to keep these things alive and fresh. And so I’ve reclarified.

Kimberly Snyder (28:05.134)
my purpose during the writing of this latest book. I have two books coming out this year. They’re both around the heart and heart coherence and tapping into the power of the heart. And so I started to re -clarify my per – and the true self can be accessed through this very potent gateway of the heart. So my purpose is to share with others how to connect to the true self and now more specifically how we can connect deeper through the heart.

So anyways, the point is that it can be really alive and rich and interwoven into your environment. So it’s personalized and feels really good, which brings me to point number four, which is about personalizing your space for your goals. So what does that mean? It means that let’s say you have all these projects that you want to create. How do we personalize it? For me,

I like to be on the floor a lot, so there’s a lot of open space in my living room and in my office. And I feel creative writing and journaling more on the floor. That’s the way I personalize things. Functionality -wise, I don’t want any sort of clutter in the pathway moving from the stairs to my desk. Functionality -wise, I can easily reach for certain things in the desk drawers.

Things are personalized as far as, as I mentioned, the altars and the objects that I have in the room. So there isn’t that coldness. As we mentioned in the earlier study, we want to feel satisfied when we feel relaxed, when we feel that we can be ourselves. It’s a more potent support to our expression coming forth because then we can relax more into being ourselves. And then the last point is that…

We want to think about colors and textures and where we are and what vibes with us. So down here in my home space, I’ll show you some of the pillows around. I like a lot of colors. The couch in our living room is orange, but we have a very neutral, beige and white bedroom. But down here, I chose some of those softer oranges and pinks.

Kimberly Snyder (30:30.638)
that are in the Solluna palette because it felt really soothing to me to be down here in this basement office. And it just was an organic choice that I made. There’s also a really wooly carpet that I chose to be down here, which feels really good on my feet. And I had this, you can’t see it here behind me. This is a custom designed sort of couch.

that this local furniture maker made and my friend Tited helped me to pick out this fabric, which is beautiful and soft and just everything feels really good in here and it’s the colors. So I encourage you, again, keep this fresh where you are right now in your life. You can go through and say, you know what? This chair always felt so scratchy to me.

or I’m in a phase now where I’m just not into the black walls anymore or whatever it is, right? You just may want to upgrade things because as dynamic beings, we are always shifting and changing and so will our environment, so will our home space. So we want to make sure that we keep that updated and we keep it fresh. So thank you so much as always for tuning in.

And I hope that this gives you great inspiration as you move into your.

personalizing your space for creativity, stillness, and peace. And remember what a strong impact your environment will have on you and what you create and how you create it and how you feel. So I want to review the five accessible ways again. Number one is decluttering. Get rid of as much clutter as possible. Number two, incorporating nature, including those houseplants. We mentioned the greenery, the life.

Kimberly Snyder (32:22.734)
has measurable evidence -based impacts on our mood and our cognitive ability and our satisfaction and so on. Number three, alters in every room, focus points that you personalize and help to support you in your purpose, in your goals, and what you really want to create. And number four, personalizing so that things feel functional and are even more supportive for you, whether that’s saying, you know what, the truth is I like to be on the floor more.

or I feel good or I’m really creative writing in this big lounge chair. I need to get a lounge chair or I want to rearrange the furniture so I can look out the window more. I feel really good when I have lots of framed pictures of my friends or my family. Personalize. And number five, that also applies to the colors and textures. Remember that your home environment is all around the different senses. So what you’re smelling, you can bring in different scents, different essential oils.

We have some podcasts we’ve done in the past with Charlene Avery. She has many different ideas. She is a National Aromatherapist Specialist and Lecturer. So you can get some ideas there. We will link to her podcast in the show notes as well. And color, so powerful and just evocative of different moods and energies. I say our family is very energized. So the orange couch in the living room probably.

energizes even more, puts it over a certain threshold level. So anyways, please keep writing in. Please let me know what other topics I can support you on. I send you so much love and gratitude and I’m always here for you. Remember that. Write in to me, FindMeOnSocial at underscore Kimberly Snyder. Otherwise, we’ll be back here Thursday for our next Q &A show.
