SPRING CLEANING

Clearing the clutter from your home allows energy to flow freely and helps you remove obstacles in your life.

When winter ends and spring begins, nature renews itself. The earth’s life energy awakens from its winter sleep, and the cycle of life starts again. We can feel this change before plants and flowers bloom. It’s only natural that we too feel the urge to clear away clutter and let fresh air into our homes.

Spring cleaning is traditionally a way to welcome a new season — one in which we open our doors and windows to let visitors and the sunshine in. It is also a way to remove stagnant energy from our homes to prepare our personal space for the positive, lush energy of spring and summer. As you sweep away the dust and clutter that has blocked the flow of energy in your home, you inevitably sweep away some of the issues that may have been blocking you in your life. 

The intentions you set are important, so before you begin cleaning, ask yourself what needs to be cleaned, what can be discarded, and how you can make your home a reflection of your best self. Then, gather your tools and supplies: vinegar mixed with water makes a wonderful natural cleanser, and putting everything you need in a bucket with a handle will make it easier to move your supplies around your home. I have a process of Left-to-Right/Top-to-Bottom with each space I enter, it keeps me focused on moving forward and avoids backtracking.

Once you’ve begun spring cleaning, you may find that with each piece of clutter you discard and each item that you clean — you feel increasingly energized. 

Declutter your home and heart to invite healing energy and gain mental clarity. Clean your windows to refocus your vision and welcome revitalizing energy into your living space.

Harness the energy of spring and revitalize your home by cleaning it thoroughly and adding fresh flowers from your garden or a new plant from the farmers market. You may find that your home feels renewed and brighter with a new, fresh energy.
