Let's Purify! Holistic Decluttering

No one likes the feeling of experiencing the initial freedom of letting go of something just to realize 6 months later (or 6 days later!) that they need that thing again.

There is an inherent risk built into decluttering and Purifying. In this listener requested episode, I share some ways to minimize the risk of letting go of something that may be needed in the future. I also explore how shifting into an abundance mindset, tapping into creativity, and trusting your vision can really help set your mind at ease!

In my opinion, life is better with a soundtrack. So, of course, I love bringing music into the Home Energy Purification process.

As I share in more depth in this episode, when you listen to music as you Purify you can use it to:

• Set a high vibration tone for your process
• Increase inspiration and motivation
• Shake up old stuck, stagnant energy
• Tap into a particular era of your life
• Process and move tough emotions, especially anger

Here are links to the songs I referred to:

Let It All Go ~ Beats Antique I dare you to try to sit still with THIS playing!

Medicine ~ Rising Appalachia

Wider Circles ~ Rising Appalachia

Resilient ~ Rising Appalachia I didn't mention this one in the episode, but oh my... it is so good. If you need to remember your resilience, give it a listen.

Shake It Out ~ Florence + The Machine

Hotel California ~ The Eagles

And here are some other resources:

Clearing Clutter at the Speed of Sound ~ Steven Halpern

The Let's Purify! Podcast ~ Episode 12: Exploring Death Cleaning

What songs transport you to a different era? What songs bring a smile to your face and get you dancing? Have you started Purifying with music playing? I'd love to know! Email me at [email protected].

Until next time, keep on purifying! :)

Sorting through the belongings of a loved one who has passed away can bring up so much.

A listener requested this episode because she has a box of her late mother's photos that she hasn't yet had the courage to explore.

Maybe you can relate to the tender fears she shared:

• Afraid to dredge up the ouchie spots
• Afraid to have to throw some out
• Afraid for sobbing
• Afraid to see her eyes and her smile
• Afraid of being overwhelmed again with how much I miss her

Tune in for Home Energy Purification-inspired tips and ideas for navigating grief. When we face our deepest emotions and allow our intuition to guide us, exploring these belongings can lead to inner growth. It can evolve our grief process and create a portal for healing.

I drew an Angel card for guidance prior to recording this episode. Click or tap to see a photo of the Faith card. It was the perfect message for belongings that truly require courage to face.

Many blessings and until next time - keep the Faith and keep on purifying!

Marie Kondo has lit the decluttering and organizing world on fire in such a good way! Since she is everywhere* right now, I wanted to take the opportunity to share about some of the similarities and differences between Tidying Up/KonMari method and Home Energy Purification.

* In my opinion, when you have a best selling book and a Netflix Original series in your area of expertise, you are everywhere…

I really respect and appreciate Tidying Up and the KonMari method. In this episode, I share about some of the KonMari aspects that align beautifully with Home Energy Purification. I also touch on some aspects that don't resonate with me and my method as much.

In preparation for this episode, I decided to 'tidy up' one of my dresser drawers to see what all the fuss was about. You guys… I love it! I'm not sure if I'll adopt this method for all of my clothes or not, but I'm loving what I've done so far. Check out the episode page at letspurify.energy/podcast to see the pics!

Caitlin Clarke shares about what she experienced in a 90-minute Home Energy Purification phone session with me that took place in November 2018.

Caitlin and her husband had accumulated thousands of digital photos on a variety of old electronics over the past 12 years. The presence of this box of electronics was draining energy and causing disharmony in their home.

Caitlin describes the transformation that she experienced during our session, and how she was able to move from totally stuck to creating an effective plan to purify these photos.

Caitlin is passionate about helping others love themselves fully, just as they are, in order to live their life authentically and with joy. In both her personal life as a mom and wife and her professional life as a psychologist and life coach, she artfully blends western psychology with eastern healing and spiritual practices including yoga, mindfulness, and reiki.

Our personal papers (notebooks, journals, scrap paper, post-it notes, etc.) are where we capture thoughts, emotions, memories, quotes, lists, ideas, and more. When our papers become disorganized or we have simply accumulated a LOT of them, it can start to feel like we're drowning in paper.

Or, as the listener who suggested this topic for the podcast shared, "I am drowning in my own words!"

Today I'll share a few ways that we can address the personal paper flow from 2 perspectives:

1. Stemming the flow of papers coming in (or that we're creating) by using mindfulness and creating new systems.

2. Purifying the accumulated papers by committing time to sitting with them and using clarifying questions to determine what stays and what gets recycled.

You'll receive two versions: one has explanations with each question and the other is consolidated with just the questions themselves. I hope it's helpful as you're sorting through your personal papers and beyond!

If you're having trouble keeping your digital papers organized and efficient, consider listening to episode 013 Digital Decluttering with Sarah Steckler for some inspiration!

In a future episode, I'll be addressing administrative papers like tax returns, bank statements, paid bills, legal documents, etc. Stay tuned!

Thank you to the listener who shared this episode idea and for sharing your experience with your papers!

Until next week, keep on purifying!

When I first learned what household dust was made up of, it changed my view of cleaning forever. (Spoiler alert: Dust is gross!)

In today's episode, I talk about some of the practical and energetic benefits of house cleaning. I want to get you excited to clean your home on a regular basis, so you can live more fully in the present.

Here are a few of the highlights:

• Cleaning and tending to your altars and spiritual spaces
• What household dust is comprised of
• What dust represents energetically (and physically)
• Why the fact that our homes keep getting dirty and disorganized is actually cause for celebration

Here are some resources:

My All-Purpose Cleaner Recipe (that I probably found on someone's blog a long time ago and have been fine tuning over the years…)

In a ~1-pint or 2-cup spray bottle, mix 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 teaspoon dish soap, 10 drops lemon essential oil, 5 drops peppermint essential oil. Fill the bottle with water. Gently shake and spray away!

My friend and colleague Amy Necci of Balance for My Life suggests visiting this site for a variety of essential oil recipes, including three specifically for cleaning:

• All Purpose Spray
• Wood Polish
• Glass Cleanser

Whether we are purifying our homes of old clutter or the layer of dust and dirt that accumulates between cleanings, we have the opportunity to bring ourselves fully into the present when we clean. The need to clean is also evidence of our evolution, growth, and natural shedding of the past. YES!

I hope this episode inspires you to create some new cleaning rituals.

If you need some help or guidance with your Home Energy Purification process, please feel free to contact me.

Until next time, my friend, keep on purifying!

The energy of the stuff in our attics, basements, closets and corners can become stagnant and stuck when we avoid addressing it for long periods of time.

Unfortunately, when we have emotional and energetic attachments to those belongings, that stuck energy is also reflected in our own energy fields. The good news is that we can shift it through decluttering and purifying!

Today, I'm sharing 5 ways that decluttering and purifying your home can raise your vibration for the coming year.

I talk about the positive impacts we feel when our vibrations are high, and the negative consequences of being in a prolonged low vibration.Then I move into the 5 positive impacts we experience in our energy fields when we let go of what no longer truly resonates with us.

Let me know if I can help you to get started on your Home Energy Purification process so you can get your vibration humming at a high frequency for 2019 and beyond. You can email me at [email protected].

I can't wait to hear from you! Until next time, keep on purifying. :)

December Podcast Pause

Clearing the Decks

I joined a business coaching program earlier this week and - wow - it is amazing and time intensive! I am already learning a ton and receiving so much valuable information about how I can grow Let's Purify! and reach more people in need of Home Energy Purification services.

In the first module of this program, the coach recommends creating mental space for the work by clearing away anything that isn't necessary. This includes finishing up incomplete projects, letting go of lingering tasks that aren't a high priority, and postponing things that can wait.

Sounds like Home Energy Purification, doesn't it? Getting clear about what will serve our vision and allowing the other stuff to fall away? I am definitely clearing the decks so I can fully participate in this program!
