In traditional spring cleaning we get out the mop and sponge and roll
up our sleeves. But when the buds are coming up from the ground and the
air is fresh, a new, vibrantly alive energy also arrives, giving you
the opportunity to clean your spirit and refresh your soul.
1. Learn to say “no” more often. It sets boundaries and clears repetitive patterns, allowing new energy to come in.
2. Release psychic weight by letting go of physical weight, including clothes that don’t fit or furniture you no longer use.
3. Bring Mother Nature inside. Grow an indoor herb garden, put fresh
flowers in every room, hang a sprig of eucalyptus in your shower.
4. Add a splash of your favorite color into your home and wardrobe to bring immediate joy and happiness. Feel the energy shift.
5. Honor yourself by repeating this phrase every day: “I am sacred.”
Say it like you mean it, because you are. Feel your mood and spirit
change.
6. Heal the clutter and pain in your heart by journaling and forgiving yourself and those you know who also need to be forgiven.
7. Fuel your body — your temple — with the freshest local, organic foods you can. Say no to GMOs.
8. Declare “electronic free” moments, hours, or — better yet — days.
In solitude, hear the deeply nourishing silence that you and your soul
crave.
9. While showering, recapture your awareness and energy by releasing
anger, anxiety, stress and worry. As you lather and rinse, envision it
all flowing down the drain.
10. Surround your sacred space with items that touch your heart and essence — and tell visitors the story of your home.
