MAKING MORE SPACE FOR NEW.


Over the past couple of years I have had more of an awareness regarding possessions that I have and that are around me in my home. I was speaking with a couple of co-workers only last week and we were discussing living with clutter in our homes even to the point where one was spending money to a hire a storage facility, doing this all because they may or may not need the things in the future. Unable to let go of stuff. It has become a big part of my psyche to clear out the clutter, because my belief is that our outer world is a reflection of our inner self. If you stop for one moment step back and look at your outer world how does it look? More to the point how does it feel?

With the global crisis as it is so eloquently put by the world’s media, I believe that this is the universe’s wake-up call to us to have a shift in awareness and return to some sort of balance. As human beings we have detached from the oneness of this universe and now is the time to find the joy and gratitude in our daily lives. If we work on ourselves from the inside out, remove the clutter of past experiences and learn from that experience, we will be in a more peaceful state of being. We attracted what we have in our lives consciously or unconsciously for a reason. We have to take responsibility for all the choices we make in our lives and it is not always fair or just – it just is. Life is a challenge; it is how you handle it that counts.

I love the saying “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery
TODAY IS A GIFT – that’s why it’s the present.

Finding out what the issue is and clearing that clutter is confronting. It is taking responsibility and not adopting victim status. It is seeing what lesson you can learn and forgive for whatever reason. Forgiveness is not forgiving the person or situation, but releasing a negative emotion (charge) stored in you so that you can move on with your life more joyfully.

I was watching the Oprah show and it was on a couple of families that took a challenge to change their lives for one week and pack up their stuff they hadn’t used in 2 months (eg. Clothes, shoes etc) and put it all into storage. They had a budget of $100 for a week’s groceries, no TV or internet and walked the kids to school instead of driving them 5 minutes down the road. This is a tough challenge, but it was life changing. The 2 families on reflection of the weeks experience were of positive change and their reasons for their waste and clutter previously wasn’t about the stuff. It came from a deeper insecurity that happened from within them through a life experience. A profound realization - they had to look inside themselves to see what was happening within them to fix the outside world they had.



A book that was mentioned was Secrets of Simplicity -- Bulging in-boxes, out-of-control stress, and even climate change serve as reminders that when it comes to being happy and healthy, less is more. In this interactive journal, organization expert Mary Carlomagno leads readers on a journey toward release and discovery. Guided by the principle that the way you spend your time and money should reflect your true priorities, Secrets of Simplicity shows how to make practical changes to unburden your closets and calendars and make room for what's really important. Readers can record their successes, as they de-clutter their homes and in the process, their minds.

CLOSING DOWN SALE 50% OFF

Over the past two years I have been purchasing my morning coffee at Moore Park Supa Centa in Kensington. I meet and befriend Matthew Wright who works for Ambience in the center. The business has been there for 10 years, but due to management increases of shop rent they are closing the business down.

It is with sadness that the store will no longer be there. The shop has beautiful giftware, pictures, frames, candles and much more. It is a delight to look around. Matthew has been very generous to me and I shall miss his friendship on a day to day basis. I wish him good luck in his new role of V.M./Stylist.

If you are over in the Eastern Suburbs and would love some beautiful pieces for your home, the prices are great. I have just had my chalk drawing of my angel "Beatrice" framed to go in my office and have stocked up on candles for many years to come.

A FESTIVAL TO REMEMBER


Last Friday and Sunday I took friends to the festival and it was fabulous. There was so much to see, feel, to do and I enjoyed all aspects of connecting with spirit. There is so much information you can gain so you can continue your journey and open your own psychic development. We attended Jason MacDonald (Medium), had a private reading and I also added to my ever growing crystal collection. I have started cataloguing them with individual pictures and writing what their healing properties are and which chakra they would be most beneficial for when doing my Chakra healings/Reiki treatments. Attended a free seminar with Paul Fenton-Smith and a few other people who give you helpful advice on all sorts of topics. My friend Kerrie who came with me last November was with me again and her husband Val (newest convert) also joined the merry band of uplifted spiritualist purchasing a traditional drum, Sacred Earth cd and new crystals to enjoy. He says he will be back again, it was great to enjoy your company. The next festival is 5th – 8th November, so mark it in your diary, but I will advise closer to the time.

The Full Moon is on 9th May so a great time to bathe those crystals. If you need details on how to do this you can look at past articles on this blog or www.anjewelsandgems.com with Karen who has a great knowledge on crystals and I attended her crystal healing workshop in April.

Over the past month I have been bringing my visualization to reality with the changes around our home. Since my last article we have had the 5 pine trees removed and that has opened our space amazingly, I didn’t realize energetically how much our front door had been blocked by the 2 pines either side and when they were removed I walked out and could feel my body as if it had more room to breath. We have had the outside painted in 3 shades of brown to blend with mother nature. The final stage is under way with the transformation of our 2 courtyards. The old pavers have been removed and the laying of beautiful Himalayan sandstone put in its place, sandstone stack to be placed on 2 walls with low voltage lighting in walls for atmosphere in the night. My Buddha water fountain will have its own stand and will have pride of place in my meditation garden. This vision was in my mind two years ago and with the knowledge I have gained with the tools from The Secret and many others helpful people as Michael Lossier, John Assaraf and a very good man David Clarkson, this is my reality – Thank you.

My beautiful girl – Brittany is in the UK and will be living there for the next 5 months. She set off on her adventure last Friday and today we had our first email from her. I am very proud of her and she to has made her visualization a reality. She made a decision on leaving school last year and worked very hard saving and now she is working in a pub in Leeds. The angels are taking care of her and she is even in a town where her cousin is attending Uni and has a flat only 10 mins from her. Her Aunt and Uncle are 40 mins away and go there each weekend. None of this was even known until the day before she travelled but my belief in they will do what is in her best interests, it worked out perfect. She will have some amazing adventures and if you would like to find out more go to www.getjealous.com/britters.
