January is the time for resolutions, reflection, and for clearing the clutter on all levels!
This month in our Healing Arts for Adults group we took on a 9 day decluttering process we found online. The primary goal of the process is just as it sounds, to let go of physical objects that are cluttering our space and cleaning things up. But the deeper and more important goal is to let go of everything we no longer need on all levels, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Thereby making room for the things we would like to bring into our lives.
This opened some very unexpected surprises for most everyone as we noticed where the resistance was to letting go of certain things. Sometimes Connecting to fond childhood memories or past traumas. Other lives and people we may have had and are now gone. We found that by bringing consciousness and love to the process we were all able to see, learn, and let go in a beautiful heartfelt way .
We also decided that instead of just carting our treasures to the thrift stores, we wanted to share them with our neighbors in need. This was a slower process but was amazingly rewarding for us all. Those who received donations were so grateful. We felt like we were really part of a process and a community circle.
Perhaps some of you will be inspired to try this too!
Here is the website for the one we did.
Let go, Reach out, and make way for your dreams!
