The Finnish concept of “Sielunmaisema” refers to a real-world landscape that mirrors your soul. What if you can design your life to carry that feeling everywhere you go?
But what if you could build that feeling into your everyday life?
Here are two surefire ways to own your “soul landscape” by using psychology to build a life you feel more at home in.1. Travel, And Bring Some Of The Soul Landscape Back With You
Some people find their sielunmaisema in far off places.
For instance, for someone who finds that kind of calm in Middle Eastern landscapes, a scent could potentially become a memory.
In much of the Arab world, oud — a deeply resinous, smoky perfume oil derived from agarwood — is layered into the culture. It’s burned in homes, worn on skin and floats in the air of social spaces. For someone who finds their soul landscape in this region, oud might become the scent of inner peace.
