Bon Voyage

Every journey starts with a single step.


You don't go to the gym and expect to walk out after just an hour with the body of Adonis or Aphrodite.


Healing  is a journey to welcoming greater health and happiness into your life, which results in greater vitality and an abundance of all things wonderful that come with a fresh, new perspective.  It is a process that requires a commitment to yourself. It requires you to take responsibility for yourself instead of blaming others for the state of your life.


We've all plodded along automatically, unaware of what we have allowed to creep into our lives.  Have a look around you and notice what clutters your life.  What can you see that you no longer use, enjoy, is broken, worn out or you don't even like anymore?  What no longer makes your heart sing?


In the words of Jack Johnson, 'Reduce. Reuse. Recycle'.  'One man's junk is another man's treasure' and all that.  Donate unwanted stuff, trade-in old electronic equipment for cash and notice how free you feel when you release stuff you no longer want or need.  We find it so liberating to let things go, but appreciate it may be difficult, at first, when many items may been given sentimental value.


I remember when I wanted to start a decluttering 'Home Energiser' business several years ago, I asked my friends to be case studies, but none of them would help me.  They were too embarrassed that they had too much junk they didn't want me to see!  They couldn't see the irony.  But rather than explore firsthand how they could improve their lives, by simply letting go of stuff, they chose to be embarrassed and continued to ignore their clutter.  But clutter simply drains your energy.


"The Chaos about thee is but the confusion within thee"


Feng Shui and space clearing, on the otherhand, allows you to get rid of the old and leaves space for the new.  If you love to research before you explore, there are heaps of books and websites on the subject.  Or if you are more spontaneous and adventurous, try it for yourself NOW.  Go on, get rid of those clothes that no longer fit or the ghastly gifts you never liked, that hide in cupboards.  Then revel in how wonderful it feels when only the things you love surround you.


Congratulations!  You have just taken your first step.
