There is a reason why we often feel very good after decluttering the space we live in or simply after cleaning up our wardrobe. Our home and belongings are an extension of our mental, physical and emotional selves. Not always consciously, we tend to “attach” our identity and our story to the things we possess, we feel comfortable around them as they give us a sense of security and belonging. This is often the reason why we struggle to get rid of material things and decluttering can become an emotional process to go through. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Feng shui experts and minimalists believe that broken or unused objects contribute to store negative energy and block the correct flow of “chi” known in Chinese medicine as the universal energy that permeates all things around and inside our body. Understanding when things in our home (and life) run their course and let them go it’s not always an easy journey and it doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes, it’s a very slow process that requires self-trust and patience. But it’s crucial if we want to keep elevating and attracting what we desire. Exactly like all the things in our home that are no longer serving a purpose, there are perhaps thoughts, patterns and connections in our life to which unconsciously we keep giving a “role” even when don’t serve us in anyway (anymore), even when they only have become a load to carry and inevitably they slow us down.

Before going through this process myself, I had read and heard many times about this fascinating correlation between physical, emotional and mental decluttering but it was only when I consciously started the journey of moving energy in my body that I was able to appreciate its powerful effects and open to it even more. My story though started from the inside out, I first felt the need to remove unconscious limiting beliefs and blocks through kundalini yoga and conscious / connected breathing 💛and then, I was intuitively drawn to clear all physical things that no longer have a role. And since I opened that portal, more unanimated objects and thoughts keep coming up to be cleared✨
