Although tradition dictates clearing and cleaning
take place in Spring months, I prefer January for my
annual excavation. It's not something I even plan
on, really. It just seems that as soon as January
1st rolls around, I instinctually start evaluating
my home and my "things". I get rid of the old and
organize what's left. In the same way that some
people use the clean slate of a new year to make a
resolution, I use the fresh start to clear my space
and make room for new adventures.
Clearing physical space in your environment is an
important and often overlooked component to creating
space in your emotional life. As I mentioned in my
October Newsletter ("Good Grief!"), this load
lightening can evoke sadness when we say goodbye to
what is no longer needed. But we do it anyway
because of the exciting possibilities we then create.
When I first started on my path to becoming a
holistic counselor, I spent three dust-filled,
back-breaking days clearing out my apartment. I
made room on my bookshelves for all the new
nutritional books and I left space in my armoire for
videos, CDs, notebooks, and all the other new tools
of my trade. Even though I wasn't a working
counselor yet, I uncluttered my apartment to make it
presentable for potential clients. All of this
effort quite literally unblocked my space in
preparation and welcome for my new path.
Along with the physical unburdening came a spirtual
one. By making space in my apartment for a new
career, I was making space in my life too. I
declared to the universe that I was ready for change
and I was willing to do the work to make it
happen.
What areas of your life could use a little clearing
out?
You might be pleasantly suprised to experience the
physical world / spiritual world connection for
yourself. Enjoy the journey!
If this subject really sparks your
interest, you might want to learn more about the art
of "Feng Shui" (pronounced fung shway), the ancient
Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of
space to achieve harmony with the
environment.
