Apartment Decoration: How To Bring Spirituality In Your Home

Religion is a way of life. Devoted worshipers of a higher power must exude their teachings in everything that they do. Accordingly, a religious home should reflect spirituality and the central themes of religion such as Faith, Love, Holiness, and Forgiveness.

Prayer Wall

Praying is how every Religion communicates through God. It is a way of connecting with your spirituality and a Supreme Being. In the Christian religion, the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing”. In Islam, Muslims are commanded to pray 5 times a day.

Having a prayer board in your apartment is a way for you to stay focused and consistent with praying so that you won’t lose your spiritual connection. There is also something therapeutic about writing down your prayers and hanging them up on a board.

Wall Art

Decorating your apartment to reflect spirituality and faith doesn’t have to mean nailing crucifixes everywhere, or statutes of the Buddha perched at vantage points. One of the most beautiful things about religion is religious literature. The talented artists over at Christian Walls like to describe Bible Scriptures as poetry that soothes the soul. Why not decorate the walls of your apartment with the uplifting words of the Buddha and other great religious leaders like these:

Everything Is Connected

The Buddha believed that each person was an element of a larger unit and as such we should all be mindful of our actions, as they didn’t affect just us. This beautiful neon wall art will serve as a reminder to you to be kinder and to love all others. Love is a major theme in religion and spirituality.

Faith Can Move Mountains

Do you feel dejected? Do you have a huge problem that you don’t know how to solve? The Holy Bible makes several references to maintaining faith in times of trouble and putting your trust in God.

Jesus says in Matthew 17:20 “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Having a quote about faith painted on your apartment walls will keep you centered in your spirituality so that your faith doesn’t shake or falter in times of trials and tribulations.

For God So Loved The World

A core theme in the Christian religion is the sacrifice, death, and resurrection of Christ. God so loved humanity that he sacrificed his only son to be nailed to a cross to die in place of mankind. Through this sacrifice, all who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Personal Savior are free from original sin, and thus eternal damnation in the fiery pits of Hell.

In John 1:29 John the Baptist exclaims upon seeing Jesus “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”

Incense

The origins of religious incense are rooted in antiquity. Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Contemporary Paganism. All these religions burn incense.

In Christianity, the smoke of the burning incense is symbolic of the prayer of the faithful rising into Heaven.
In Islam, incense is used in events such as the Ka’bah’s purification and cleansing event.
As part of daily Hindu worship, incense is offered to God by rotating the sticks thrice in a clockwise direction.
In Judaism incense is burned to signify the end of the Sabbath in the Havdalah ceremony.

Incorporating incense sticks into your apartment will bring spirituality into it via the sensory organ of smell.

Gong

The gong is a percussion instrument that is played by striking it with a mallet to make a resonant, echoing sound. In China, gongs are common in religious music. The sound of the gong is said to have healing spiritual significance.

The vibrations produced by a gong are said to “tune” the body and have the effect of restoring mental and spiritual harmony. It helps the brain reach a deep relaxation state by specifically targeting the delta and theta brain wave states. This sound healing is said to cure conditions like:

Anxiety disorder
Stress
PTSD
Pain
Mood swings

While enhancing:

Sleep
Creativity
The immune system
Mental awareness
Balance and Clarity
Memory and Concentration
