LettingGo – Page 6

Having space on both an energetic and physical level is pretty amazing. When you have your space there is room to breathe, room to create AND there is space for dreams to become reality!

Think about it for a moment. How can you bring something in if there’s no space for it? It’s astounding how much space we give away on a day-to-day basis. Not only do we give away our “time and energy”, we hold on to “things” that have a great deal of energy attached to them and those things take up space.

A few weeks before the end of the year I decided to clear out and create more space in my condo. For some time I’ve wanted to start this task but honestly it felt overwhelming! This time I was bound and determined to get things in order. What I decided to do was look at it from the perspective of moving. My thought was to go through every inch of my home and clear out anything I wouldn’t take with me if I was moving. This is different from just organizing.

I’ve lived in the same place for many years and let’s just say things found their place hidden in drawers, on shelves, in closets and some were in plain sight. I couldn’t part with certain items because of sentimental value, I might wear it (or use it) again, and some were those “one of a kind” special things. I’ve never considered myself a pack rat but seriously did I really need the VHS tapes, the picture in a cracked frame I’ve had semi hidden behind a door or clothing I haven’t worn in 10 years?! I’m still amused about getting rid of jewelry from my late teens…let’s just say my niece got a bag of fantastic retro jewelry. 🙂

Why do we hold on to ‘things’? Initially the intention is that these things are still useful so we keep them but let’s face it there are certain things we have difficulty getting rid of. Those ‘things’ fill a void. They make us feel better when we look at them because they bring back memories of a time long past. Having lots of ‘things’ make us feel abundant.

The fact of the matter is that all those ‘things’ hold bits of your energy AND take up space. They also signify limits and lack. In terms of “lack” you are actually telling the universe that you don’t have enough resources to replace what your getting rid of. Why keep the shirt or pair of shoes you haven’t worn in years? Get rid of them and find something you love even more! If something hasn’t been used in years it’s time to clear it out! Living in abundance means knowing you can create something new! This doesn’t mean getting rid of memories or things that truly have a special meaning . It means clearing out ‘things’ that you will never use again to create more physical space and as a bonus, you collect up YOUR energy in the process!

For me the experience was a wonderful trip down memory lane. I gathered up my energy and cleared out the ‘things’ that had no longer held meaning (or my energy 😉 )and were taking up space. I let go of old hopes and dreams knowing that by doing so I would have a space for new hopes and dreams to become real. If something I’ve said here resonates with you, take the steps to make more space for yourself on an energetic AND physical level. Clear out those ‘things’ that no longer have meaning and merely take up space in your life and/or your home.

Clearing physical space is very freeing. It brings your ‘space’ into present time and makes space for new hopes & dreams to become real! OK, so I couldn’t part with the 50 lbs of beads from Mardi Gras but that’s a story for another day. 🙂 ~Shine Your Light Debbie

Have you noticed any recurring patterns in your life? Patterns are those experiences in life that play out much like an old record album going round & round, over & over again. In other words you find yourself in the same situations responding in a similar way time and time again.

Patterns are different for each person but I’m guessing there are at least one or two that you’ve noticed in your life. It could be in the realm of relationships and love, giving up on something right before complete success, bringing in money only to get hit with an unexpected expense almost immediately, or it could be that you find extreme moments of happiness only to get slammed moments later.

If you take a moment to think about it, you might find that in each instance you were literally waiting to be invalidated or for something to go wrong. While waiting for some disaster to strike, you didn’t truly get to enjoy what came in for you!

If you have convinced yourself that you choose the wrong relationships, have negative people or drama in your life and/or you will never have what you want…guess what? There’s a good chance your prophecy will come to pass! This is part of a pattern!

Patterns do happen and once you become aware of a particular pattern you can clear it. When I look at the energy clairvoyantly there are often symbols, agreements or energy cords involved. The challenge in clearing patterns is being able to find the underlying ‘picture’, if you will, vs getting caught up in the drama of WHY it’s there and WHY it keeps happening.

Patterns are almost always connected to lessons you want to learn or old energies you want to clear. If you continue to ask WHY or you are waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop, the universe is going to grant your wish by bringing the lesson to your attention once again so you can find your answer! It is when you look deeper to find the underlying energy and lesson you are learning that things will begin to change in a major way for you.

Clearing patterns in your life is a matter of getting to the heart of it all. Think of it like peeling an onion. You peel off one layer then there’s another layer than another until finally you get the middle. Life is like that too.

How about getting to the heart of it first? What if instead of asking WHY you looked for the ANSWER!? In life many answers are actually found when you ask the right question. Ask the right question to dissolve and dismantle patterns from the past that don’t serve you.

Begin with a new question and thought process to forever change your life! Starting today ask for answers and create a brand new, brighter tomorrow! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
