There are many things we can’t control right now in the world. A war is erupting, some leaders are hanging on when they should not. It becomes hard to hear the wise; they don’t gesticulate. They whisper, they build, they connect. They don’t brag. Yes, it can feel hopeless to only hear the loud, the brash, the unstudied.
But there is also a sense that this era is ending. Consciousness is elevating, and many people are saying: “Stop. We don’t want it anymore”.
When our larger environment is chaotic, what we can influence is our home, our immediate surroundings. We can lift the Chi and invite the spring energy to renew our spirit and lives.
You have already been smudging your home with sage; you have placed your salt water cure(s), you may even have prepared the remedies for the new lunar year (see my previous blog post).
What should you do next?
Below are a few simple steps to achieve that spring renewal feeling (you can do the same to invite autumn in the southern hemisphere):
1. Declutter
Declutter for spring by donating, selling and discarding what no longer belongs in your closets and garages. Those actions create a renewal of Chi, an exchange of energy. Put away clothes and blankets that are too warm for the season (or too cold), children’s clothes that are too small, take care of mail and emails that needs to be sorted (hello, tax season)… Declutter it all.
2. Spring Cleanse your Home
Fix what needs to be fixed, grease those doors, change those light bulbs, deep clean your fridge, stove and oven, thoroughly cleanse your entryway and doormats, clean your garbage cans, wash the floors.
All these actions invite new energy. Air out your space thoroughly.
3. Bring in a plant and/ or new artwork
Change the feeling in your space by bringing new life to it. A plant is perfect (peace lily, money tree, orchids, fern, jade plant, peonies, citrus trees; they are all Feng Shui super plants).
Good luck with the process!
Please let me know how it goes and if you see a difference in your energy!
Many blessings,
