If you’ve found yourself ravenously cleaning stuff out of your home lately, you’re not alone. There has been an increasingly popular trend of clearing clutter – from closets, basements, and drawers to entire rooms or even homes altogether. For many people, this urge is so pronounced and unlike anything ever experienced before and perhaps even confusing.
So what is going on?
You don’t have to be psychic or even extra-sensitive to notice that the world is changing. We, along with Planet Earth, have been undergoing a fast track evolutionary process, oftentimes referred to as “ascension.” Inherent in this process is a letting go of the old in order to make room for the new. Put another way, as the vibration of the Planet raises, lower vibrations must fall away.
What does this have to do with the stuff in your closet?
All of the stuff that we accumulated over the last couple of decades just doesn’t feel good anymore. Stuff feels like a big weight. Why? Because it is. Things hold an energetic density that is no longer a match for the frequency or vibration under which we are currently living. As we evolve, we become less and less dense as different vibrations cannot co-exist. And just as many people lose energetic density in their body and mind through bodywork or healing modalities, the emotional density in our homes must also be released.
Matter is the highest form of density. Whereas, energy before it manifests into a physical form is a lighter density, but still some level of density. For example, a kidney stone would be emotional energy like anger that has manifested into a physical form. As we evolve, we purge this density on the physical, emotional, and mental levels. And, our home, which is an extension and reflection of ourself, needs to as well.
Another reason we are having the urge to purge stuff is because we simply no longer need things to fill a void like we once did. In other words, we are healing to where we no longer need our old crutches. And for some of us, accumulating stuff was at one time equivalent to an addiction – but harder to recognize as it was often affirmed by family, friends, media, and economic policies.
It is no coincidence that foreclosure phenomenon is occurring at this time as well. It is a bigger picture example of a clearing or purging of the old. For example, more foreclosed homes are being purchased by investors, who in turn clear out trash that has been left, make improvements, and either rent or flip the properties. The former owners in effect go through a purge as well, albeit involuntary.
In an even bigger picture, Planet Earth is doing the same thing through earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, and tornadoes.
What Does This Mean For You?
If you have the urge or even an inkling of a thought to clear clutter, then by all means do it. For some of us, it is very natural and habitual to clear things out. For example, you may be one who automatically gets rid of an item when you buy something new. For others, however, it may not be so easy. Clearing clutter can bring up a lot of emotion. In my book, 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home, I provide a 4-Step process to clear clutter in order to not be overwhelmed by the process. I also address some of the areas in which people tend to get hung up on, such as unwanted gifts or “just in case” items.
How Clearing Clutter Will Benefit You
Once you start the process of decluttering, you will quickly notice the benefits. Many people can feel an immediate physical difference, including an ease of breath or increase in energy. (Notice how your breath changes after you clear something out). This is all part of a return of living close and in harmony with the Earth. In fact, you may notice that you are more drawn to purchase items that are organic, made of natural fibers, or artisan-made.
As you clean stuff out of your home, you are assisting in an important and necessary part of your spiritual growth, which is paramount to your physical and emotional well-being. You may even notice some resistance well up along the way. Be conscious and notice what the resistance is.
As you clean out your basement or storage areas, you are cleaning out your subconscious mind. In other words, you are bringing things from the subconscious to the conscious mind in order to effectively deal with it. Prior to that, things were stuffed in the basement, just like in the body, to avoid dealing with it or even having to see it.
What about closets? This is where we stuff things we don’t want others to see, perhaps including ourselves. As we clean out our closet, we are all “coming out of the closet” in some aspect. In your own unique way, it is allowing you to live more authentically. This again is a letting go or purging of anything dense, such as lies, fronts, and fakes. Even with regards to your clothing closet, perhaps there are clothes that no longer seem to fit who you are anymore.
We are all evolving to our highest vibration and most authentic selves, which is love. So, when you get the urge to purge your home, go with it. As each of us purge our own corner of the world, we are contributing to the evolution of the entire planet.
