Spring is upon us!! It’s the time of year that people begin to do away with the Winter Blues and begin to prepare for Spring Blossoms. It is also the time of year that most people do what is called Spring Cleaning. We go through our closets, attics and garages to find the things that we no longer use or need. We either prepare them for sale or we just give them away. Whatever it is that you do with your old, unused, unneeded items, consider doing some Soul Cleansing as well. I amazes me that people will spend countless hours cleaning their home, but rarely spend time to purify themselves spiritually.
You may be asking, ‘Exactly what is Soul Cleansing?”. Soul Cleansing is a way in which we can rid ourselves from negative thoughts, emotions and actions. Soul Cleansing is a way for us to move from the dark into the light, from a state of anxiety into a state of peacefulness. Just as we cleanse our bodies of toxins, we can cleanse our Spirits of poisonous thoughts.
Spiritual Cleansing may have 3 phases. The first phase is one of ANALYSIS. It involves becoming still. And when I say still, I don’t mean just your body. I mean your mind as well. Be with yourself. Take inventory of the things you would like to improve whether it’s your finances, your relationships, your job, or your business. Be still and become clear about the kind of life you want to experience.
The second phase is one of RECOGNITION. That is recognizing what areas of your life need cleansing. What ‘old, unused, unnecessary’ item(s) are you holding on to that are keeping you weighed down? When it’s time to make the transition, what keeps you from moving. Are you one of those people who can not pass the department store without buying something? Are you one of those co-dependent people who holds on to a relationship long after the relationship has let go of you? Are you one of those people who family and friends KNOW they can tell you their sob story and you will invest in it? If so, you BETTA RECOGNIZE!!! Don’t act like you don’t see it when it’s glaring and showing teeth.
The final phase is one of ACTION. This is the hardest phase of all. It’s also the most crucial. Mainly because it doesn’t matter how still you become or how much you recognize the areas that need to be cleansed. If you don’t ACT, nothing changes. Everything remains the same. For example, if you go through your house and pack up all the things you say you don’t want or need and then just move them to another area of your house, what have you accomplished? All you did was move your junk from one room to the other. In order for you to make room for bigger and better you have to ACTually get rid of the old. Same with Spiritual Cleansing. You have to be willing to get rid of what you realize no longer works for you. Until then you will continue to feel the weight of an un-lived life.
Happy Soul Cleansing,
