SPRING. IT’S TIME FOR A SOUL-SCRUB.<\/b><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’m needing a soul-scrub.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe it’s spring in the air; maybe it’s just that I’ve let too much psychic debris accumulate in 2013; maybe it’s emotional triggers stirred up by media coverage of tragic events.\u00a0\u00a0But I’m definitely wanting to release some of the build-up in my life right now.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve started pulling clothes out of my closet to give away . . . I’ve started unsubscribing to email lists . . . I’m purging my kitchen of foods that don’t nourish.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It feels good, but it’s not enough.\u00a0\u00a0I need a top-to-bottom, emotional rub-down.\u00a0\u00a0In case you’re resonating with any of this, I invite you to join me in a 21-day spring-cleaning event on all levels.\u00a0\u00a0I’m asking my wisest guru friends for advice.\u00a0\u00a0I’m culling from my own workshop practices.\u00a0\u00a0And I’m spending time in meditation every day, inviting Universe to guide me in a grand scale Let-Go.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here’s how it will work:\u00a0\u00a0For three weeks, starting today with this newsletter, I’ll give you the best practices I can dig up for releasing all that doesn’t serve — physically, psychically, emotionally.\u00a0\u00a0I’ll send you two more installments over the next two weeks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s start by deciding to do it.\u00a0\u00a0Set the intention with me right now that you’ll be lighter, freer, far more clear and vibrant — just 21 days from now.\u00a0\u00a0Know that it’s entirely possible, with just a bit of effort and commitment.\u00a0\u00a0You with me?\u00a0\u00a0Let’s go.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Week One:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Our physical environment is always a mirror for our internal landscape, so start by looking around your living space — home, office, wherever you spend the most time.\u00a0\u00a0How do you feel when you walk into your home, or your bedroom, or your workspace?\u00a0\u00a0Do you sigh?\u00a0\u00a0Do you groan inwardly as you scan all the piles that represent unfinished projects that once felt exciting to you but have since lost their appeal?\u00a0\u00a0(Or am I the only one experiencing that?\u00a0\u00a0LOL)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you feel guilty when you don’t finish what you start?\u00a0\u00a0Take a deep breath right now and intentionally release that guilt.\u00a0\u00a0Your one precious life is far too important to spend a single second of it beating yourself up.\u00a0\u00a0Your time is limited — only you know what lights you up and makes your soul sing.\u00a0\u00a0You are allowed to change your mind.\u00a0\u00a0You are allowed to make decisions that honor your ever-evolving path and your highest joy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reminders of unfinished business tug at your energy and deplete you whenever you see them.\u00a0\u00a0Set aside a few hours this week to clear your living space and\/or work space of anything that does not bring you joy when you look at it.\u00a0\u00a0Can you imagine how liberating that would feel?\u00a0\u00a0That means banishing thoughts like, “I might want this one day.”\u00a0\u00a0If today isn’t the day, you need to assume you will not want it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take a moment to imagine yourself loading up your car and driving to the nearest charity.\u00a0\u00a0Doesn’t it feel awesome? \u00a0Take out your calendar right now and find the hours.\u00a0\u00a0Block off those hours with the giant word: PURGE.\u00a0\u00a0Then keep that appointment with yourself!\u00a0\u00a0Honor it the same way you’d honor an appointment with your most important client. \u00a0You deserve this!\u00a0\u00a0What kind of message does it send the Universe, when you wouldn’t dream of breaking your appointments with others, but routinely break the appointments you make with yourself?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While you have your calendar out, I want you to find a tiny, 15-minute period that you can give yourself every day to begin your internal cleansing as well.\u00a0\u00a0Just look realistically at your days and see where you could find a regular 15-minute window to commit to.\u00a0\u00a0You could always get up 15 minutes earlier if that’s the only way to fit it in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’ve selected a really powerful cleansing meditation for you to use during these 15-minute gifts to yourself.\u00a0\u00a0It’s a piece of cake. \u00a0I’ll talk you through it.\u00a0\u00a0You’ll feel the difference after just one session — I promise.\u00a0\u00a0And by next week, you’ll feel a substantial shift toward a lighter, freer you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Listen here: \u00a0Meditation<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Watch for the second installment one week from today. \u00a0I’ll be doing these practices along with you, and I’d love to hear about your progress as you spring-clean your soul with me!<\/div>\n
