Clearing out “clutter” is one of the best things we can do to liberate ourselves.
By clearing out and releasing clutter in our physical, outer world and experience, we clear out and release clutter in our energetic, inner world and experience as well. We release old attachments and stuck energies, and open ourselves to the higher energies of “New” and “NOW” that are always present in all of us.
Our ego often clings to the old because ego always looks outside of itself for fulfillment. Ego attaches to material things, possessions and people as well as thoughts, emotions, situations, ways of being and more.
In truth, our inner and outer worlds are one and the same anyway. Everything is energy, and all that we create and experience “outside” of ourselves is a reflection of our consciousness and state of being within.
When you’re ready to clear out clutter inside and out, letting go of physical clutter is a great place to start. Try it and notice what happens. Start small: clear out a closet; get rid of things stacked in the garage or shed; sort out and get rid of some old books; empty some old boxes in the attic; clear out clutter in the workshop; let go of whatever you have been holding onto “because you might need it someday.” Dispose of it, sell it, donate or give it away.
After you clear out physical clutter, notice how you feel. Lighter, perhaps? When you clear out physical clutter, you clear out energetic heaviness and baggage too. Lightening the load on the physical level will help you feel noticeably better on other levels too.
Of course, your ego may kick up a fuss and try to disrupt your clearing process, perhaps by bringing up fears of what might happen if you let go of what you’re clearing out, or by bringing up old sentiments and memories attached to it. Just let the ego know that it’s okay, it’s time to move on, and there are always new and better things just waiting to flow into your experience!
As you initiate this process and notice that you do feel lighter, happier, and more open, inspired and free, you give yourself more incentive to continue with it. If ego was resistant initially, it will eventually come around when it realizes how good clearing out clutter feels!
In clearing out clutter, we help ourselves to remember and realize that we are already whole and complete, now and always. We release old, stuck energies that were weighing us down, and we open ourselves up to the energies of “New” and “NOW” with infinite possibilities and potential!
