Spring Cleaning and Soul Cleaning ~ there are similarities.

When I do my spring cleaning it takes a few days. I like to clean out closets and drawers, and cupboards. I try and start in one place and work my way around the house from there. I will empty out a closet and put all the clothes and ‘stuff’ on the floor, or the bed, or whatever furniture is there and I will vacuum out the closet and wipe things down. Sometimes as I empty out the closet I will come across things that I don’t even remember having, things I didn’t know were even there and are no longer useful to me.

As I go through this process, which sometimes takes hours, or days, or even weeks, I see what I have accumulated over the years. For however long it takes me, I may have a lot of my stuff out in the open for all to see. I can take a close look at it and see which things are no longer serving me. Clothes that don’t fit, things that are out of style, things that do not vibrate at the level I am now vibrating at. It can look pretty messy in my house for a while.

This is often how a Soul Cleaning works. With or without the help of a professional, you meditate, get into all the dark corners, pull everything out, let things come up into your consciousness. It’s all out there, you can now see what has been hiding in the back of your mind all this time. It can look messy for a while ~ once its there in front of you, you will need to do something with it. Usually the best thing to do is to let it go ~ use meditation, cut the energy cords. If it has been sitting in the back of the “closet of your mind”, chances are you really do not need it anymore. It likely is not vibrating at the level that you are now. It is coming out of the ‘closet’ so that it can be released, let go of.

Sometimes it is hard to let go of things that have been with us a long time. Both the physical things, and the emotional things. But usually there comes a time where you must let go in order to live a less cluttered life. Imagine living in a house where you never got rid of anything ~ how dense your surroundings would be, how hard it would be to move through your home. Our Souls are like that too. We pick things up throughout our lifetimes (and lifetimes past), and sooner or later we need to take a close look at what we’ve picked up and de-clutter our energy ~ or, (like within our homes), our energy bodies have a hard time moving around and through life.

With Spring Cleaning, once the letting go is complete, your house is cleaner and clearer. With Soul Cleaning, once the letting go is complete, your energy is cleaner and clearer.

What is it that you need to de-clutter and remove from your life?
