Let's Purify! Holistic Decluttering

Collections can be a source of great joy and entertainment. Collecting can be a delightful hobby full of excitement and satisfaction.

But what happens when we outgrow a collection interest or the collection itself starts to feel heavy or burdensome?

In today's episode, I share a personal story of a collection from my childhood and teen years that I outgrew. I used my Home Energy Purification process to find creative ways to break up the old energy of the collection, while also reconnecting with the original seed of delight that the collection gave me.

It's okay for our interests to evolve, grow and change over the years. Your collection interests will likely shift too. If you find yourself feeling ambivalent or conflicted about a collection, I encourage you to give this episode a listen. Perhaps my story will inspire a new clarity or shift within.

I referred to an old Sesame Street segment in the episode. Do you remember it? I was so fascinated by it.

Because excess clutter can sometimes mistakenly be thought of as hoarding, I dedicated this episode to providing some facts and information about Hoarding Disorder.

The information about hoarding for today's episode comes from the International OCD Foundation and the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.

In this episode I cover:

• The clinical diagnosis criteria for Hoarding Disorder
• The reasons some people hoard
• Hoarding vs. Collecting
• Demographic information about Hoarding Disorder
• What makes decluttering difficult for people who hoard
• Treatment strategies for hoarding
• How to have a conversation with someone who is ready for help with her/his hoarding

Here is a link to the Hoarding Fact Sheet from IOCDF.

Here is a link to the Clutter Image Rating Scale from IOCDF with the 9 pictures of 3 different rooms in various states from completely uncluttered to severe hoarding.

I hope this information provides clarity and understanding.

Until next time, keep on Purifying!

Earlier this week, I had the intuitive inspiration to start providing a weekly card reading on Instagram. This collective reading will include a picture of an oracle/angel card(s) along with an interpretation of how the cards may guide, support or inspire anyone who is Purifying or decluttering their home.

You can learn a little more about this free weekly Let's Purify! offering in this bonus episode.

Check out the readings on Instagram every Friday at instagram.com/letspurify and let me know what you think!

Until next time, keep on Purifying!

When you share a home with another person, it can be a source of tension, anxiety and even conflict when your partner isn't willing or able to declutter his/her stuff.

In this episode, I share three suggestions for what to do when someone else isn't catching the Purification wave.

Here they are in brief:

• Be sure you to focus on decluttering your own 'stuff' before focusing on what another is or isn't doing. There are many gifts to be received when you center your energy on what you have control over.
• Do your best to communicate with your partner about how his/her unaddressed stuff is impacting you and your home. If open communication is a challenge, it may be helpful to seek counseling or relationship coaching.
• Explore what the presence of your partner's stuff represents to you in your life, your home, and in the relationship. Even though it isn't your stuff, it is still showing up in your life experience. Perhaps there is meaning, purpose or value to be gleaned in exploring it through journaling or other means.

At the beginning of the episode, I also share a bit of vulnerability because I'm not 100% satisfied with how I sound in this one! I felt like I was talking fast and my voice was quivering at times. I had to decide whether to let it go or re-record. Obviously, I opted to let it go. :) I hope it isn't too distracting and that the points I shared are valuable to you.

Until next time, my friend, keep on purifying!

Is your filing cabinet stuffed to the gills and overflowing with old, outdated papers? Are you holding on to records, bills, and paper data because you're not sure how long to retain them or if you actually need them?

All of that paper and its associated energy can really weigh you down.

If you're ready to Purify your filing cabinet and let go of the paper you no longer need or want, this episode is for you!

I go over nine practical and doable steps to mindfully and effectively Purify your filing cabinet. From creating a vision to actually disposing of the papers you're letting go of, this episode is packed with valuable information! (And no extra papers that you'll need to file later… ;) )

When we remain energetically connected to painful experiences and relationships from the past, our energy can leak away. Cutting energetic cords between ourselves and those events or people can allow healing to occur.

Often we have objects in our homes that represent those painful experiences, events or relationships from the past. In today's episode, I share a personal story about using Home Energy Purification techniques to cut cords with a person from my past. Following my intuition each step of the way, I transformed and let go of the energy of an object in my home, healed an aspect of myself, and moved forward with greater vibrancy and joy.

I hope this episode inspires you to deepen your exploration of the objects in your home and what they represent. It's so powerful and liberating to cut those cords when the timing is right.

Spring is here and everyone seems to be decluttering lately!

Just because the decluttering bug is going around, doesn't necessary mean it's time for you to catch it. While the benefits of decluttering and Purifying your home are pretty incredible, it does require some focused time and energy to work through all that stuff. It's okay if it's not quite time for you to dive in!

In today's episode, I share some tips for how to sense from within whether you're ready to do a big home decluttering and Purification. It can be such a significant process, so it's really important to approach it with eyes wide open and a truly willing, ready heart.

If you ARE ready and feeling the call to Purify, in the last 5 minutes of this episode I share the details of my Purify Your Home coaching program. This program is a way to put into action all that you've been learning about on the podcast!

There are a lot of claims about the benefits of Himalayan salt lamps. I have not done extensive research about them, and I do not know if they are all true.

What I do know is how salt lamps impact my daily life and spiritual path.

In this episode, I talk about a few of the salt lamp claims. I also talk about how I use salt lamps in my own life, the benefits I have experienced, as well as how salt lamps can enhance your Purification process.

Here is a link to the article I referred to in the episode.

Many blessings and until next time, keep on purifying!

Are you intrigued and excited when I talk about using crystals in your Purification process? And then do you get stuck because you don't know much about them?

This week, I've demystified crystals and the Purification process for you! I shared some basic information about 5 crystals so you can feel confident moving forward with some new knowledge. Then I talk about ways to hone your intuition and senses so you can trust your inner guidance, rather than an outside authority, as you Purify.

I gathered the following information from the crystal displays at Gracefull Heart in Carlisle, PA:

Black Tourmaline

• Protects energy field from attachments.
• Transmutes and transforms negative energy.

Fire Agate

• Grounding and inspiring.
• Tool for spiritual awakening.
• Helps to provide courage to follow spiritual path.

Rose Quartz

• Stone of unconditional love.
• Purifies and opens the heart.
• Promotes emotional healing and compassion.

Selenite

• Opens crown and higher crown chakras.
• Accesses Angelic consciousness and higher guidance.
• Link to light body, helping it to anchor here on Earth.

Carnelian

• Stimulates creativity.
• Gives courage.
• Restores vitality & motivation.
• Useful for overcoming abuse of any kind.

I hope this information gives you a great starting point to start playing with crystals as you Purify. Enjoy the freedom of exploring what feels right and aligned for you!
