Clutter–Energy Up / Energy Down
The air relates to the mental aspect of yourself, and it also relates to organization, clarity, focus, and being able to see afar. To understand this, imagine that you are on a mountaintop. The air is fresh and sparkling, and when you take a deep breath, your entire body feels invigorated. As you look down to the valleys and to the distant sea, it seems that you can see forever.
Clearing out unused or unloved possessions in your home can have this same invigorating effect on your spirit---it can truly be a transformational experience. Your clutter may be draining and depleting your energy. In other words, if the things in your home are not used or do not inspire you or bring you joy, then getting out from under the burden of them can be a soul-fulfilling experience.
There is a good reason why so many spiritual teachings discourage accumulation. A powerful connection exists between the organization of your material belongings and the cultivation of your spiritual growth. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by possessions and lose sight of the presence of the Divine.
When you clear out the “stuff” that lowers your energy, your home becomes a sanctuary. A home that matches the contours of your soul subconsciously affirms that you complete all right exactly the way you are. It is a place where you explore who you are and what you might become. A soulful home gives you a deep sense of belonging; it is a place on the planet where you can sink your roots and feel safe---a home for the soul.
I don’t expect that you can clear out your entire house/office/car in a few hours (or even a few weeks or months), but even taking a few steps today can begin a process that can have a huge impact on your life. Remember that clutter to one person is not clutter to another. If it brings your energy down, it is clutter; if you love it or use it, it is not.
