At Eywa, we are dedicated to creating holistic living environments that go beyond mere aesthetics to truly enhance your well-being. We totally align with Mindvalley, a leader in personal transformation, and have developed a set of strategies to help you optimize your living space for better mental and physical health.

Here are our seven trusted methods to transform your home into a sanctuary of well-being, embodying the core values of Eywa and Mindvalley.

1. Embrace the power of natural light

Studies show natural light is vital for maintaining a positive mood, improving focus, and regulating sleep patterns. Ensure your home is designed with ample windows and open spaces to allow sunlight to permeate your living areas

In rooms with limited natural light, use lighting that resembles soft yellow candlelight to brighten your environment. Avoid aggressive direct light and even incorporate a daily ritual of lighting candles in your home. These rituals have been proven to be an essential part of mindful longevity.  

2. Bring nature indoors

Integrating natural elements into your home can significantly enhance your well-being. The art of biophilic design and neuroarchitecture should be considered, as can be seen in the unique design of Eywa.

Plants such as snake plants, peace lilies, and spider plants not only beautify your space but also purify the air, reducing stress and promoting tranquility. At Eywa, we incorporate lush greenery and vertical gardens into our designs to create natural oases that foster harmonious living environments. 

The foliage in Eywa has been carefully selected to infuse the air and bloom in succession throughout the year. In addition, a specially formulated fragrance that induces harmony and serenity based on essential oils has been developed and will be one of the many signatures that will be known as Eywa.  

3. Declutter your space, declutter your mind

A cluttered environment can lead to a cluttered mind. Maintaining a tidy and organized home helps create a serene and focused atmosphere. Utilize effective storage solutions to keep your space orderly and free from unnecessary distractions.

Eywa’s design philosophy emphasizes sophisticated simplicity, ensuring that your living environment supports mental clarity and peace.

4. Optimize your home’s energy flow

Drawing from ancient principles, optimizing your home’s energy flow can enhance harmony and balance. Arrange your furniture to create an open, unobstructed layout. This approach promotes positive energy circulation, improving mood, productivity, and overall well-being.

The use of crystals is essential to improving energy flow. At Eywa, we have specific crystals for associated spaces that can enhance the living experience. For example, different crystals are placed in the office, the spa, and the living room, to name just a few, each carefully selected to give maximum results.

5. Purify your air

Clean air is vital for both physical health and mental clarity. Use air filters to remove pollutants, allergens, and other impurities from your indoor air. Additionally, utilize ventilation systems to improve air circulation, making your home a healthier place to live.

6. Create a personal sanctuary

Designating a specific area in your home as a personal sanctuary can provide a retreat from daily stressors. This space can be used for relaxation, meditation, or pursuing hobbies, offering a dedicated environment for rejuvenation and self-care. Personal sanctuaries are essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being.

7. Integrate technology mindfully

While technology can enhance convenience, it is important to use it mindfully to avoid potential negative impacts. Limit screen time in bedrooms to improve sleep quality and utilize technology that promotes relaxation and mindfulness.

At Eywa, we integrate smart technology solutions that enhance living conditions, such as smart thermostats and lighting systems, creating an environment that supports holistic well-being.

The Eywa movement: Join the revolution

By implementing these seven strategies, you can create a living environment that nurtures both your mental and physical health. Whether you are in an Eywa home or elsewhere, these principles can help you transform your space into a sanctuary of well-being.
