How To Begin Clearing The Old To Make Room For The New

Set up a sacred space that has been cleared of debris, and is filled with objects you love. Play relaxing music with no words or listen to nature sounds. Light a candle and say your favorite affirmation, prayer or mantra. Now you are ready to begin connecting with yourself on levels that will acknowledge, heal, release , and inspire positive change.

Finding peace where you are is the first step to lasting change in your life. What are you grateful for? What do you love and appreciate about your life? Who lifts you up and helps you remember who you are? These are just a few. Make a list that incorporates not just your personal everyday life but also think outside your life to the community, state, country, and planet. Only focus on the positive.

Know that you deserve to be here. You are a gift to all of creation. Life is meant to be enjoyed and you are most effective when you are joyful. Power comes from right focus, right intention, and right desire. This is how you manifest your dreams. Love is what guides us and heals us. Forgiveness is not for others, it is for yourself. Judgement of yourself and others is a drain of energy, instead use information for discernment to uphold healthy boundaries. This protects not only yourself but also others who may lean too much. We must all walk our own path. Be aware of who is mutually beneficial. Stay away from unbalanced relationships. We are meant to live our truth not anyone elses version. If you are living a life of negativity, you are off path. Negativity is a learning tool to change direction. Release fear, it holds you back from making these changes. We have a whole world of possibilities but it requires new ways of seeing. The new can only present itself when the old has been acknowleged, healed, and released. Allow yourself to dream then find ways to start living it now.

You are what you expose yourself to. You are your choices. People, places, situations, entertainment, education, jobs and so on. Every detail of your life matters. We have a set amount of energy. It is precious, how do you intend to spend it? Don't let obligation dictate your life. It's a lie that will remove joy from your life. Let go of the idea of control. If you weren't here the lives around you would still have to find their way. By you doing it for them it is a disservice to their develepment. Help them by living your own life the best way you know how not dictated by family, friends, community, or society. Let go of feeling bad for people. They are an accumulation of their choices. This is their karma to transmute, not yours.

Remember you are a being of light. You shine your brightest when you live your life the purest. Free yourself from darkness by eating a clean diet, exercising, love your body, stay connected to nature, tread lightly on the earth for future generations, appreciate that less is more, keep your life uncluttered physically, mentally, and emotionally, surround yourself with beauty, find a spiritual practice, never stop learning, listen to relaxing music often, remember to breathe, refrain from seeing violence on TV, movies, or gaming, give back to your community just by being the best "you" you can be.

Namaste.
