The famous philosopher Socrates said “Beware the barreness of a busy life”. I think that’s a very interesting quote! Have you noticed these days how busy we all are? Much of our attention is focused on the outside, what needs to be done today, tomorrow…or right NOW.

Our brains are moving in a thousand different directions. How do we mangage our jobs (or lack thereof), families and responsibilities? How can we create and manifest more money? Find the love of our lives? Be FREE? Why is this or that happening in our lives?

As the holiday’s are quickly approaching we find ourselves with even more “busy-ness” and yes, stress! Wouldn’t it be great if we could all experience a peaceful, Norman Rockwell painting type of holiday? Or how about just have a moment when the world wasn’t buzzing in our heads so loud it’s almost deafening? I call that ‘loud head’ btw…not exactly a psychic term but I think it describes it pretty well! 🙂

It seems to me that the “barreness” Socrates is talking about is in many ways our own spirit. The joy of being safe in the body, at peace and in alignment with the earth, the universe and our very own selves. Occupying the space of our INNER SANCTUARY!

There is much talk about centering, alignment, creating (manifesting), being in the body etc. There are different beliefs & modalities as to how to get there, how to BE and how to manage it all in this world of “busy-ness”. It can also feel very unsafe to be in the midst of it. The reality is that it is a challenge at best with our busy lives to merely sit down, let alone quiet the mind and be still. After all there’s so much we need to DO! So what’s the bottom line? Well, read on dear ones!

All of this has to do with YOU taking CARE of YOURSELF! Actually taking the time to heal yourself, rejuvinate and bring back YOUR energy so you have access to it! 🙂 This of course means ALL OF YOU! MIND, BODY, SPIRIT AND SOUL!

Not only CAN you do this but WHEN you do this, you will find you have more energy, less effort and things will begin to manifest themselves. Here are some interesting questions for you to ponder…. Do you care for yourself, answer to your own needs, nurture yourself and take as much time for YOU as you do for others? Do you take the time to quiet your mind, make your body safe, focus on your essence and what makes YOU happy? Do you feed your spirit & soul just as you feed your body?

For me, the answer lies in finding my INNER SANCTUARY. It’s really amazing how your “reality” will shift when you take time out of your day to access your inner sanctuary. It is a place of peace, a time to step out of the “busy-ness” of daily life. A place of safety where you can begin to clear whatever you have taken on from others. It is a place to re-discover all that is YOU and get in alignment with the flow of your desires & dreams.

Getting grounded and making the body safe is the first step. When you are grounded, releasing all you have taken on and focusing on the flow of energy you can effortlessly move into your INNER SANCTUARY. Your own personal place of peace & calm. There is a true joy in feeling YOUR energy flowing in YOUR body! This is how you care for your spirit! It’s how you heal, rejuvinate and access the unique essence that is your true self.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the holiday’s are quickly approaching (in the States Thanksgiving is merely 2 weeks away) and it will be even more important to find time to care for ourselves. We will be inundated with added obligations from family & friends. It can be an overwhelming and stressful time for many. When you have the tools* and take time to care for your spirit, you will experience more joy and the true spirit of the holidays!~Shine Your Light~Debbie

So OK here it is! I admit it! My Mom was right! Cleaning is good for the soul! She has always told me that since I was little and how right she was and indeed IS! I will add that cleaning is not only good for the soul but it’s good for your spirit as well!

I have a little joke about how I know when I’ve lost my space……I look around my home there are dishes piled in the sink, the windows have a dusty film, laundry is stacked high and there seems to be a layer of dust on everything.

When I notice my physical space looking like this, of course, I know it’s time to clean! No matter how long it takes, I begin to clean, room by room, top to bottom. When I’ve finished and everything is sparkling it FEELS really good! I can enjoy my space again. Perhaps you’ve noticed the very same thing after you’ve done a really good cleaning. It feels good right down the soul! 🙂

When I’ve lost my physical space it’s a reminder to check in on my spirit space as well. Just like the space in your home you have a spiritual space that may be in need of a clearing out or cleaning. In the spiritual sense, there may be energies that have “piled up” in your space. Specifically energy that isn’t yours.

You could have picked up energy in your day-to-day encounters like work, it could be old from when you were a child or current family & friend responsibilities. There are many reasons why & how you collect up this energy but I’m going to speak of this in general terms. 🙂 So how do you know if you’ve lost your space? Well, that’s a really good question to ask! And the answer is….if it doesn’t feel good it’s probably not yours!

Have you ever thought or made a statement like “I just don’t feel quite like myself today” “I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin” “There’s so much going on in my head right now”? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or have the feeling like you are unable to move? These are all indications that there are other energies in your space.

Sometimes you can be so caught up in the foreign energies and chatter you can forget who you are. When spirit is acknowledged you remember who you are and the rest merely falls away…..NO EFFORT. I call this a miracle! As you bring back your own energy/essence everything seems a little brighter, you can manifest your dreams and create effortlessly! You FEEL GOOD in your own skin and you are comfortable being YOU!

Now the question becomes how do you get your space back? One of my good friends calls it needing to “get organized around yourself” again. I know for me one answer is meditation & grounding. When you allow yourself the space to sit quietly behind your eyes, connect with the planet and let go of the “chatter” you will begin to find the glory that is you.

When I teach simple meditation techniques it’s amazing to watch the students as they begin to release and be in a place of *BE*ING not *DO*ING. As a clairvoyant I see each person connecting with themselves on a deeper level and discovering their own light. When this happens even the room gets brighter!

The amazing thing about clearing out and getting your own space back is what you might find! Here is a great example in simple everyday life terms: A friend of mine was just telling me that she & her husband cleaned out their basement of all the boxes that were piled there. She mentioned that she couldn’t believe the “stuff” that had been sitting in those unopened boxes for years…a lot of which hadn’t even been unpacked since her move back from Hawaii several years ago!

As she unpacked the boxes, she began to discover pieces of herself…in her words “things I totally forgot about but that I LOVE”. As she was describing this to me I could hear the joy & happiness in her voice of having re-discovered parts of HER! She was not only clearing out and re-owning her basement (space) but finding the joy of those parts of her she had forgotten about while in the midst of busy every day life.

Thus it is the same with your spiritual space! The next time you feel like you aren’t quite YOU why not take a moment to reconnect with yourself, clear out the clutter and dust off your aura! You never know which parts of YOU that may have been “forgotten”, packed away or covered up by other energies that could show up, bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart! SO THANKS MOM! Cleaning IS good for SPIRIT & SOUL!~Shine Your Light Debbie
