Having ones space is a recurring theme I write about. We lose and get back our space both energetically and physically every day. When you become aware you have lost your space by either giving it up or it was invaded, you are receiving an important message.

The message is about where you are working, what picture still needs to be cleared or resistance that you are harboring. If you aren’t paying attention to having lost your space, I guarantee that at some point it will become SO clear that you’ll begin paying attention. The good news is that if you lose your space you CAN get it back!

Your space and energy are valuable…

Having your space on an energetic and physical level means you’ll have more energy to create with and more space to have your creations manifest and become real. Losing your space is a blessing in disguise. The blessing is that when you’ve lost your space it points you in the direction of what you need to work on for growth & expansion despite how it feels at the time.

When your physical space needs remodeling, while going through it there is chaos and you can only imagine what it will be when finished. Everything is out-of-place and yet you wouldn’t dream of discontinuing the project in mid-stream to live in the chaos. You do what needs to be done to finish so you can move back in to a sparkly new space that feels really good!

Do you reclaim your energetic space in the same way?

On an energetic level if you lose your space there’s no better way to get it back than meditation. Call it inner reflection or introspection if you like. 🙂 You wouldn’t dream of living in the middle of a construction project until it is finished. There’s no space. It’s not safe. You’re pretty smart as spirit so if you’ve lost your space why would you want to be in your body if it’s not safe with all that stuff that isn’t YOU?

Once you have noticed that you’ve lost your space acknowledge it then uncover the reason you lost it in the first place. If your focus remains on all the places you don’t have space it will be difficult to re-own because you are then giving up space to the picture of not having your space! This is called being STUCK.

Start asking questions to find your answers. Are someone else’s belongings still in your home? Are you holding ‘space’ for someone else? Is there a painful memory (picture) from your childhood you are still feeding energy into which takes up the space that joy and happiness could be in? If you are using LOA is there a space to manifest your creations? If not, what can you let go of or clean out to make that space?

Everything on this earth needs space and room to grow!

The more of your space you own and occupy, the more you can grow and expand it! Think of it this way. Say you’ve planted a garden and it becomes covered up with weeds and debris. It gets no oxygen or sunlight and very little water. It has no space to grow. It is literally being choked and trampled by everything covering it. When you clear out the weeds and debris it gets what it needs to grow and bear fruit!

If you’ve lost your space, take it back and own it! Consider the invasion a blessing to point you in the right direction. Create the space for more abundance, joy, love and happiness to fill your world! ~Shine Your Light Debbie

The Benefits of ‘Home’ Ownership (dailymuse.spiritlightinsight.com)

How many times in your life have you asked someone to excuse you? Asking to be excused is a form of politeness and in some cases, like when you were in school and needed to be excused from class, you brought a note from your parents.

The english language is tricky if it is not your mother tongue but it is interesting that the same word is used to pardon or release someone AND to offer a reason for something you cannot or won’t do. Have you ever taken note of how many times you say “excuse me” or how many “excuses” you make each day?

Who or what are you exactly excusing and to whom? Are you somehow justifying or rationalizing something to yourself in the process? Do you find yourself making excuses for someone else? More importantly are you being truthful when you are asking to be excused or making the excuse? If you take ownership of the things you do or say there is no need for an excuse! Ownership means taking responsibility for your actions, words, and choices and how they may have affected someone else…or possibly even how the excuses you make affect your own life.

Being polite is wonderful and I’m sure you’ll agree that we try to be polite to each other but when you excuse and make excuses to yourself you are not taking ownership of a decision that consciously or unconsciously you have made. Exploring WHY you chose a particular word, action (or inaction), or why you made a certain choice leads you to learning more about yourself. Taking an inner journey and becoming aware of the “why” opens the door to change those things you wish to change. Why did you say or not say this or that? Why did you choose that action or inaction? Why did you make that particular choice at all?

Every thought, deed or action has a learning experience tied to it. Your awareness and ownership of the choices you make can lead you on a very interesting journey of the soul. You don’t have to change for others and in fact it’s not a good plan to try to fit in with the status quo because it doesn’t come from your heart; If however there are things you’d like to change about yourself, look within to see the foundation that you built those choices upon.

Did YOU build that foundation? Is it built on your truth? Who was the contractor who helped you build it or have you built that foundation on outdated habits and/or ego? It may be that the foundation of the choices you make excuses for today was laid or programmed by someone else yet you’ve built upon that foundation for so long, it has become a part of your reality!

This is not about being right or wrong in a situation. It’s about owning your choices and taking responsibility for them. If you make a mistake own it and learn from it. Clear the energy, the guilt and forgive yourself. Once the light of awareness illuminates an excuse consider it an opportunity to learn and heal.

So please excuse the excuse! Take ownership of your life and stop making excuses! If you find yourself making excuses for (to) yourself or someone else in your life own them, forgive yourself and meditate on why. YOU have the power to change, heal and create a better YOU when and if you choose to take responsibility! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
