Clearing the Space, Clearing the Mind!

Sometimes in life, we become cluttered.  Today we look at de-cluttering, not only physically, but emotionally as well.  Through life, we gather.  We gather people, we gather items, we also gather emotions and energies.  Look around where you are sitting right now, see what you have gathered just in one room alone.  Ask yourself this one question:

Do I really need everything I can see?

Now please do not get us wrong, we are not suggesting for a spiritual life, or an understanding of our spiritual self we have to give up all our belongings, far from it.  Surrounding ourselves with items gives us a sense of belonging and identity, however, do we really need ALL that we have?

Maybe it's not what is in this room you are in, but somewhere else in your home!  Is there a drawer, cupboard or box which is filled with items?  We all have one, it can be called our "messy drawer" you know the one, its the one you go to when you are looking for something, its the one that you put in all the little bits and pieces which may just come in handy in the future!

For today's meditation, we are not going to sit in contemplation or connect with our higher self or subconscious, we are going to do something much more physical. 

Go find your messy drawer, cupboard, space

or discover the place in your home which you know needs clearing out

but haven't quite had the chance to do so yet

Be prepared, with a refuse sack, bin bag or old cardboard box

but also be prepared to face some tough decisions!

Now item by item, go through your cupboard, drawer or space

hold each item, remember where this item came from

does it have memories

or is it just something which you have gained?

Do you even recognise what it is you are holding?

Do you really know what you use it for?

Time to start clearing!

Everything that does not hold sentimental value, everything that falls into the "maybe useful one day" category needs to go.

When we declutter our physical space, we also declutter our mind making further meditation easier.  By looking at each object, remembering where it came from, then making a conscious decision to remove it from our life, helps our minds to "file" away these memories in the right place, thus enabling us to think clearer.

Enjoy your de-clutter!!
