House Therapy: Discover Who You Really Are at Home
()
About this ebook
Discovering the secrets to what makes us happy, can be found at home. In fact, the clues to who we are and what we truly want, are all around us in every room of our abodes. Welcome to what I call ©House Therapy – Discovering Who You Are at Home. You do not have to own the home you live in to benefit from ©House Therapy, as your mere presence within your house or apartment defines it as yours. We all generally have some influence on the look and feel of the rooms within our home, and even for those uber minimalists out there, your non-doing defines your home just as much. There is a Taoist flavour to ©House Therapy, as it employs the Isness of things as a principle at work in our lives. The way things are – is the way things are - and that is for a reason, if you just take the time to look.
You do not need to be an architect or interior designer, to benefit from the insights offered by ©House Therapy, indeed, we are all to some degree designers of our own lives. If not you, who else is the most influential person in your life, and who knows you better? Who else, in your life, is defining themselves by every decision and choice made, as they make their way along their life pathway? Nobody but You I would suggest!
In the following pages and chapters of this book we will be looking at what houses and homes really are, on a whole host of levels of understanding, documenting examples and explaining their different relevance. I will be bringing together, the bricks and mortar reality of houses, with their symbolic meanings to illustrate the core principles underpinning ©House Therapy, like the foundations of a home. We will explore the history of houses and take a guided tour through some of the homes of the most influential cultures and civilizations. We will look at the parallels between the inside of our homes and the inside of our heads.
Houses are, quite simply, three dimensional maps of the inside of our heads – our minds. The different rooms within your home are like the folders, which contain the many files, inside our brains. The things inside the rooms of our houses and apartments are linked to who we are on so many different levels. They are talismans to specific parts of our lives and particular temporal periods of us.

It all began a long time ago in a place called Perth. Heavy petting sessions down at Blue Gum Swamp and Deep Water Point. Years of junior football and existential angst. A move to the east coast, where Scientologists courted me, a brief stay at Sydney Uni, then The Drama Studio, before landing in the arms of a free love Indian cult. Lots of mind expanding drugs and beautiful, loving women. A long-running working love affair with cooking and running cafes and restaurants. Too many failed businesses and half-cocked ideas to bother listing. Conscious Living Expos, WellBeings, and catering for auras on toast with a shot of wheat grass juice to wash it all down with. Recently, years of study into ancient histories, human rights, marketing and biology. A second failed marriage resulting in two gorgeous human beings who happen to be my kids. Challenging hours spent on the golfing links but taking the time to smell those trees and native flowers. Take a deep breath and I am ready for what comes next.
