De-Cluttering For A New Beginning

                                   De-clutter And Prepare for a New Beginning        

People may cling to familiar objects because they have a fear of empty spaces if they get rid of them. Objects remind us of events in our lives when these objects were present, like a souvenir of past events. Memories will always be with us whether we have physical objects as reminders or not, however, by clinging to them, we become stuck in a rut and the energy in our personal space becomes stagnant.

Holding on to unnecessary possessions may be linked to pain, anger and resentment as a protection from having to face new challenges, but these will also prevent you from welcoming new things entering your life.

Make a conscious effort and decide to keep only the objects that bring you joy and that lift your mood if necessary.

This will lead to mental clarity as you learn to enjoy a more practical relationship to possessions and then positive changes will start to enter your life and you will have space to create the life that you desire.

Chakras - Colour meditation

Colour Meditation

 

Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for a few minutes.

Sit in a comfortable position with your back straight and take a few moments to quiet your mind.

 

Bring your focus to your breath, breathe deeply for four seconds, then hold your breath for four seconds and finally slowly exhale for four seconds. This will raise your vibration almost instantly, repeat the breathing exercise three times. Observe the air entering your body, bringing its life-giving oxygen to every cell, and then leaving, taking with it all distractions and irrelevant thoughts.

 

Now bring your focus to the chakras, placed in a line from the root to the crown and pulsing with your vital energy. Visualise each chakra in turn as a spinning wheel of colour. Spend a few minutes on each chakra, before moving to the next one.

 

1. Start by visualising the red circle of the root chakra and its grounding energy.  See the circle spinning faster and feel safe and secure in the power that connects you to the earth.

2. Move to the orange of the sacral chakra and as it spins, feel the love you feel for your true, inner self.

3. Visualise the bright yellow of the solar plexus chakra and allow it to clear out vibrations of jealousy, despair, anger, hatred, and any other negative emotions that you may have been holding onto. See it bathed in positive emotions of tranquillity, happiness and joy, which make the chakra move faster and brighter.

4. Now move to the rose colour of the heart chakra and focus on a feeling of unconditional love that asks for nothing in return.

5. Visualise the light blue of the throat chakra, drawing in and sending out true, harmonious  communication, linking you to all living creatures.

6. Move to the third eye chakra, situated in the brow, spinning in a vibrant deep indigo colour, and picture it vibrating to the rhythm of your calm, focused mind and body.

7. Now focus on the last one, the crown chakra, with its violet light in a circle of tranquillity, peace and oneness with the greater spirit.

 

Stand back, mentally, and watch all the chakras, spinning together in unity. Watch them restore balance to your body and mind, lighten your heart and open your spirit.

 

 

Concentration

Concentration

A troubled mind-set can cloud the focus, leaving one unable to concentrate on the events unfolding all around. Feeling unfocused will make it difficult to make decisions or hone in on goals.  

To regain the ability to focus on details that are important, it is essential to take a step back in order to re-educate the mind. Focus on a single topic, no matter how insignificant, and an improvement will be seen soon.

 

Concentrate the whole of the mental energy on a single, simple topic that can be thought through in its entirety. It may initially seem that there is little value in small tasks, however, these processes of mental exercise help us recapture our ability to concentrate by giving us the confidence to banish distracting notions. We thus condition ourselves to effectively fix our attention on those hefty details of life that are vital to our well-being.

Universal Wisdom

Universal Wisdom

There is more to living your life than simply your day-to-day
activities, and you may want to find ways to incorporate this
spiritual wisdom into your life. Searching for clarity through spiritual teachings and meditation could give you even more profound insights into your life and how you should live it. If you can, find a quiet place to search within and ask the universe to guide you in this process of awakening by either contemplating your life or by reading the words and knowledge of enlightened teachers. Asking for help in your search could give you a deeper awareness of what you can do to make your life more meaningful.

Bringing universal wisdom into our lives increases our consciousness and understanding about our overall purpose on earth. Creating a life that is full of meaning involves so much more than simply wishing it to be so. It also takes a concerted effort to connect with the innermost part of our higher selves be it through meditation, prayer, reflection, or study. These things allow us to tap into the unlimited knowledge of the universe and find our direction for further growth. By awakening your divine connection to the universe, your life will have more meaning and you will move even closer to self-realization.

Restoring Yourself

Leading a busy lifestyle and striving to complete tasks may leave you feeling tired and lacking the energy you need to keep going. Maybe the amount of effort put into completing tasks and relaxation time being neglected, is the reason for you to feel this way.

Set the intention to take care of and let yourself rest, as it can go a long way toward helping you to restore your energy levels to a higher vibration. One way to do this is to spend some time in a relaxation pose. Lying on your back, palms facing up, try to imagine yourself melting completely into the earth with each breath you take. Relaxation pose can help you not only bring back your energy but also feel more content with your life overall.

Giving ourselves permission to rest makes it easier for us to restore ourselves. Sometimes there are occasions when we have to push ourselves harder than is the norm, when this happens, it is essential to do things that are positive and healing for ourselves in order to replenish our entire Being. We can use the relaxation pose to release our tension and bring us back to a state of well being. By letting yourself recover from your work in a healthy way, you will feel invigorated and uplifted.     

Soul's Work

Making a greater effort to accomplish your duties could make you feel dependable and this unswerving devotion to get things done may be due to a desire to show others that you can be implicitly trusted.
A more gratifying result would however come to you if your focus is shifted to how your work fulfills you.
Think about the different tasks you do during the day asking yourself if what you undertake is something that propels you forward on your life journey. Consider changing the nature of the tasks that do not fill your spirit to more closely align with your passions.

Your hard work will mean so much more to you when it is something that feeds your soul, even though it can be really easy to feel that what you do makes a difference in the world, it is really only when this feeling is in sync with our spiritual calling that this becomes so. Once we understand this, our hard work becomes something that fuels our spirit instead of a way to get praise or acknowledgement from other people. By working in a way that nourishes your inner self, you will get everything done unfailingly.
