What does de-cluttering really mean

 De-cluttering isn't just about getting rid of "stuff" it is about moving "energy". Yes, even inanimate belongings have an energy as do clothes, ornaments and jewellery. We ourselves inbibe our  unique energetic signature onto things we wear, touch or own. Every room in our house or wherever we live holds some sort of mental or emotional connection to loved ones, not so loved ones or those around us. 

For instance gifts that you have been given may hold pleasant or unpleasant memories, different rooms may signify some emotional attatchment from the past or the present. Holding on to things that no longer serve us, please us, or bring good feelings will silently influence us in some way. 

When you are unable to let things go, they hold space that otherwise could bring better things. Making space means clearing the clutter away and allowing energies that are new, positive and that serve you better enter your life. This is not just on the physical level but also on the mental and emotional levels too. 

If you find yourself hanging on to anything that you havent worn or utilised in the last year, ask yourself why. What is it really that you cannot let go of, is it the actual possession or is it a feeling or a memory?

Real or not

 This year I am feeling in to what is genuine and what is false. Letting go of old ways of being and old concepts is my aim for 2025. As we move into a new dimensional phase some of us feel between worlds so to speak. Not fully in the old or the new. This can be a confusing time but my simple advice is not to stress about it but to literally go with the flow. Resistance and fear prevent us from making the smooth transition from one phase to the next therefore creating a bumpy ride. So, how about simply letting go of the reigns and letting life take us where it will. It is an interesting idea and one that I hope you can embrace along with me.

New Year

 I want to say Happy New Year and I do wish it for you all but I am mindful of the deep unrest in parts of our world where thousands won't have food, shelter or safety. These are three basic needs that we all share. I cannot imagine living in such a nightmare situation. While I acknowledge this I am deeply grateful for all the good fortune that I have where those basic needs are met and others besides.  For me this New Year symbolises a new beginning, one where I intend to be the best version of myself. My intentions are to be more open hearted, loving and kind. To value my gifts that can be used to serve others, whatever they may be. I am still unpacking what I have to offer and instead of falling into the imposter syndrome, I intend to value and honour myself more and take more risks even if it means failing.  I hope to be brave enough to take opportunities as they arise rather than fall into the ego narrative that I am not "good enough" or dont measure up to the task. ...

Death reminds us to live

 There is nothing like the death of a loved one to remind us to live life now while we can. Recently one of my grandsons died while riding his motorbike. He loved the adrenaline of  riding fast, jumping out of aeroplanes and living life on the edge. He was 28 yrs old when he died. A short life that reminds me and all of us to live life  while we can. I don't advocate living it quite like he did but in my case I have lived more life than there is left to live. Now in my seventies death doesn't seem that far away and I dont feel like I have lived my best life yet. I think about death not in a morbid way but in a factual way. The fact is every living being including humans, die. There is no escape we all have to face our own mortality. I believe in life after death on the spiritual plane but I am still human and have to face the reality of the perceived loss of love and life. Human emotions being what they are take us by suprise sometimes and the depth of loss isn't always u...
