Make Your Spring Cleaning A Spiritual Cleansing

Although I rent my home, I set aside time each year to spring clean and spiritually cleanse my living space. You may wonder why I invest this time, when I am probably going to pack it all up and relocate soon? Well, I believe the way you treat yourself in your current home will actually help to manifest the joy and happiness in your next home.

Now, spring cleaning conjures up the traditional vision of shaking out rugs, deep cleaning the entire home, and opening all the windows to let the fresh air inside. But, taking the time for a spiritual cleansing, alongside your annual spring cleaning, can let in so much more!

The positive energy from creating a deeper connection to the space around you is actually an investment in not only in your living space, but in yourself. A happy home is a connection to joy and inspiration, and attracts into your life more of what you desire. Putting on hold any and all spiritual connection with your current living arrangement, can actually put on hold your chance to connect with the life you really want.

Clear The Clutter

A highly impactful energy change already begins with clearing out the clutter from your home. Clutter not only blocks your mind and body, but it also blocks energy flow and quite often leaves those living in clutter feeling eternally ‘stuck.’ People who live in cluttered homes often become stuck all areas of their life: emotional, physical, financial and spiritual. Even if you do a little bit at a time, clearing out clutter is the one of the quickest and most positive practical and spiritual changes you can make in your home.

Choose New Décor

Once the clutter is cleared, take a closer look at the décor of your home. Does it represent what you want in your life at this time? Is your focus is on finding your soulmate, or starting a family? If so, you may want to consider having wedding photos of your parents or grandparents, or baby photos of you and your siblings as part of your décor, for example.

Art work and décor that reflect your dreams, desires, needs and goals will help to manifest them. A friend recently added a large decorative sign to her home décor that simple states Gather. She wants to entertain friends more often and this literal focus has already manifested for her in many ways.

If you are single and wanting to be in a committed relationship, take a look at your bed and the nightstands. Are there two of them? Are they in balance with each other? If you tend to keep single items in your home, you are not inviting in a mate. Invest in those matching nightstands and two matching lamps. Keep your future partner’s nightstand drawers empty and make space for them in your closet.

Create Sacred Space

By creating a sacred space for yourself in your home, you can deepen your spiritual and energetic resonance. Your sacred space can be a room for meditation, a home altar for spiritual practice, or simply a peaceful sanctuary in the area around your bath tub. The most important thing is to set apart and declare this area, no matter how big or small, as your sacred space.

Fill your designated sacred space with objects and items that speak to you in this way. Candles, crystals, mala beads or a rosary, are all items that symbolize a space where you can go to relax and receive blessings.

These changes create an energetic space for love to transpire and a symbolic affirmation that you are ready and trusting of the Universe. So, take the extra steps this year and focus on spring and spiritual cleaning that will nurture your spirit and manifest positive energy for yourself and your loved ones.
