"As I release the past I allow the new and fresh and vital to enter." - LOUISE L HAY
I started this new year with a game rather than resolutions. I read about a wonderful technique for energetically letting go of the past and making space in your life for new exciting things to enter. It is a Feng Shui technique and what you do is get rid of 27 things from your home everyday for 9 consecutive days and if you miss a day, then you start again from the beginning. It can be anything that you get rid of, CD's that you don't listen to anymore or don't resonate with you anymore, DVD's you don't watch, books you don't read, clothes that have just been sitting in your cupboard for years. It can be kitchen things, old cosmetics and medicines, anything that you can think of, it can be broken furniture or piled up old newspapers and egg boxes.
It is your choice what you want to do with the items, you can give them away, donate them or throw them away, maybe you can even sell some of the stuff and make some extra cash from it, but just get rid of them from your home and your space. You have to physically do the choosing and getting rid of yourself because there is a lot of emotional baggage attached to the process and a lot of positive energy that enters you with the releasing of the things, which you don't want to miss out on, (not the clearing out of emotions or the coming in of positive energy). I also did clearing from my kids room because I am still responsible for their space and so their things directly effect me, but a teenager can do their own space. If you choose to give away and donate the stuff, there is the added reward of giving and being of service to others which is awesome!!!!
Everything is energy and material things hold energy and that energy can and does effect our lives. For example if we are still holding onto a ring which we never use because our granny gave it to us and we feel like we have a sentimental attachment to this thing, but it is literally just sitting in a jewelry box with no use at all (this could maybe get melted down into an item of jewelry which you will love and use). Or it could be an item of furniture that you hate, but you have never bothered to replace because you are to busy or to cheap. Or it could be an old electrical item which broke years ago and will never be repaired and is just sitting in a heap somewhere. Or it could be piles of magazines that you are keeping for a rainy day. Or a collection of art materials that you have no way of using and not used for more than 5 years but hope one day that you will get there. Or chipped crockery. Or stained linen. The energy of our intentions sits in those items. The procrastination, the clutter, the guilt, the fear, the poverty consciousness, the sadness, the shame, the chaos. You name it and the energy is attached to it. If the energy is attached to it, this means when you get rid of it, you clear those energies away from yourself and your home. What utter joy and bliss! In doing the physical act of clearing out the old or unused or unwanted material things, you are clearing out those low vibrations from your own being and the space in which you live. In getting rid of that energy, you are making space for the new, fresh and vital to enter your life. You are making space for your dreams to manifest.
This clearing can be taken to whole other level of learning and growing. I started the game on the 31st of December and finished my nine days yesterday, and I feel absolutely amazing!! I took a few days to really understand how deeply the stuff I own effects me. I really did a lot of introspection along with the clearing and I could see my own pattern of how the "things" are holding me back. I saw my emotional link and how my subconscious programme attached to the idea of having these items had been holding me back, and the excuses and reasons I have made to keep living in a particular way that has not been making me completely happy. It was an excellent exercise to observe myself and see what my ego wanted me to hold onto and why. So on day six of this game I went from 27 items to clearing an entire room of what was not serving me. It was fascinating to see emotions coming up and then the lightness I started feeling of seeing my bedroom transformed into a beautiful living space for myself. So for the last days of the game I went from room to room in my home and got rid of a huge amount of things. It has been awesome. The whole energy of my home has changed.
Do you keep old medicines because you fear that you may get that illness again? This is willing yourself to get sick again! Chuck those meds out if you are healthy and don't need it anymore! Release the fear and trust the Universe that you won't need it again. Do you keep clothes for when you will loose weight, but it is still sitting in your cupboard after years? Give them away to someone who will get use out of them rather and when you loose the weight, reward yourself with new clothes!!! When, if and maybe keep you burdened with fear. My rule is if I have not needed it for a year then it will be of better use to someone else and if I need it in the future I will simply buy what I need because the Universe has never left me in lack ever and has my back!!!!
I challenge you to start your nine day game today! Start and see where it takes you. What are the biggest challenges that you face in clearing out the old and making space to become the you that you dream of being? Please leave a comment below and let me know and also let me know if you are going to do the challenge and if you do it how has it effected you?
This is your year to shine and for your dreams to come true!! I wish you all a very happy new year and hope that this year is filled with nothing but love, clarity, joy and endless laughter.
With so much love
Rosemarie
