Sanctuary

 

We are in a movie of our own making. We are the director, headliner, set designer, wardrobe, and finance department. If we don't like the script we can change it and even write out fellow actors!

 

In other words, we can create what we want and how we choose to live.

 

We have the freedom to let go of things and people that are keeping us from experiencing our most joyous and fulfilling life. Letting go of our attachments to the past, the guilt of needing to hang on, and fear of letting go of what we “might” need in the future. Letting go of excess and living with enough. Living more easily and simply.

 

Life is a continuous improvement process and so is clearing excess and staying organized. We finish a room and a month later and see more things we want to let go of. Sometimes the less we have the more we want to release. It is amazing how abundantly we can live with less. We create more time, more money, and more peace.

 

During the clearing process each moment can become a celebration. “Look what I found.” Celebrate! “Look what I am letting go of.” Celebrate. “Look what I am not sure of.” Celebrate. “Look at this mess.” We can celebrate the opportunity to delve deeper within and uncover our true self.

 

Celebrate each moment of the process because this is where freedom lives. The freedom to make decisions. The freedom to let go or hang on. Our freedom to choose. To be empowered to act.

 

Life is a personal process. Each moment is filled with choices. We allow them to be our choices and ours alone. Our home, our stuff. Sit quietly with the feelings. We allow our heart to open and speak.

Allow love to be our guide. Love for our self and our well being.

 

The chaos of to much is energetically loud. It's hard to hear our self think. This is true. That is why some of us like to stay at a hotel. It's relaxing because there's not a lot to look at. Unless we overload it with all the stuff we bring. Before the suitcases come into the room there is peace and serenity. The energy is calm and relaxed.

 

That's the scene, the feeling many of us want at home. To open the door and walk into tranquility. Our homes are our sanctuaries holding space for us to come home and be. Be ourselves completely letting go of the world “out there”. We relax and breathe more deeply. Pause to take a moment to take off our shoes that helped support us maneuver through the time we were away, placing them neatly where they belong.

 

The more peaceful our environment the more calm we radiate from us when we step back out.

We can become a bright light with peaceful energy flowing all around us. Smiling because we are rested from the time spent in our sanctuary, fortified.
