Home: Create the space you desire

Your home/living space is a key element to your spirituality. This is the space where we spend the most time. This space should promote an gentle energy flow that relaxes and soothes. It should feel like home to you.

Typically, when we think of our homes, we think of all of the physical items in our home but, we rarely consider the energy flow. The truth is, if you are never satisfied in the moment, the moment will never come when you are satisfied. Looking for a new place, newer things will never make you happy, if you never learn to be happy without them.

The very first step to connecting with your space is in gratitude. Operating in genuine gratitude for everything within the limit of your vision and your consciousness.

*I'm not here to tell you what to do, I'm just here to help you think outside of your box.*

So lets think out loud together.

As it stands right now, most of us are working from home. Our homes are where we are spending most of our time. Think about your living space. How does it make you feel? What is the energy in your space?

You should feel connected to the natural flow in the space that you are in, no matter what that space looks like. Remember, we aren't looking to connect to things, but to create a space that flows freely that we may be in tune with that free flow of energy.

Here are three ways that you can update your space and be connected on a budget:

1. DIY Decor: Adding a touch of personal flair to your home space is a great way to infuse love into your space. Love is what connects us all anyway!! Create art or something with your hands to add to your space. Even a throw blanket crocheted by you will do!

2. Rearrange your furniture: This is one is actually free! Move things around to shake the energy in the room around. Keep moving things until the energy flows freely in your space. The journey of creating the energy flow promotes your connectedness.

3. Remove old things: Yes! Clean it up! Clean out your fridge, your cabinets and everything. Get rid of old clothing (especially the ones that hold trauma) and old items or objects. If need be, replace some old things (lamps, lamp shades - small things) with newer items. Refresh it all. Implementing non-attachment during this activity helps to disconnect from physical items and be in the moving flow of the energy.

Maybe these are things you've already done or are already doing. Keep doing them, just do them with the intention that this will increase the flow of energy throughout my home. See if anything changes.

I am so looking forward to pictures of your DIY Decor projects!!!

Spirituality 101

I have decided to document my journey through spirituality. I am going to go back through the last six months of my life and tell the stories that need to be told.

These stories are told with the sole purpose of exposing true spirituality for what it truly is. These stories are told in an effort to add to the foundation of the spiritual journey of others.

One of the most impactful things that I can and will ever say is that the journey belongs to you. No matter how you decide to travel, it is your journey. My stories belong to me. I have decided to write mine because I learned so much from watching others. I pay a lot of attention to people. I observe and record how they treat each other and the experiences that influence their actions. I learned a lot from the things that no one taught me, from the stories that have never been told.

It is easy to get stuck in a cycle or to be herded into labels, especially early on. There is so much information. You are literally watching your brain melt and reform again every day. This is soooooo much information.

As you begin to question everything, you start feeling like you're losing your mind. However, the moment when you lose it, like officially lose it is when you realize that you have travelled so far on this journey that you can't turn back. You've done so much unlearning and retraining that there is no way you can return.

Then you're lost. You're in that weird place where you are freaking out about freaking out.

And then you realize, I have all of the power in the world.

And you begin to exercise that power. You start growing. You realize the things you once thought you required or desired are no longer attractive to you. You start reorganizing your values.

You begin to love.

You begin to love yourself on such a deep level that no matter where you are or what you are doing, it is wrapped in love.

That is where I find myself these days. No idea what's next but I have no attachment to future events, so I am not even concerned. I am just thoroughly enjoying being fully present in every single moment.

I mean, isn't that what is really meant by awake or awareness?
