include objects that hold the energy of past experiences , thoughts and feelings about yourself and your life . Clutter is anything that can clog the flow of energy into and through your life , anything that is preventing you from fully manifesting the life that you desire . Just as keeping clothes that no longer fit does not honor who we are today , keeping objects that do not fit our lives do not honor ourselves !

THIS PART OF THE PROCESS IS KEY TO RELEASING THE CLUTTER ONCE AND FOR ALL . Though as with many aspects of our healing , it is like peeling back layers of an onion and may be revisited at a deeper level later . During the clearing process , be present with yourself and mindful of the thoughts and emotions that come up with the objects that you are choosing to keep or release . It is here that you can dive deep into clearing thoughts and emotions that may be keeping you stuck . Keep a journal nearby to jot down thoughts for reflection . What comes up for you as you are clutter clearing ? Does the idea of giving away an object you don ’ t use cause you to feel stress or discomfort ? What fears , if any , are present for you ?
There are many reasons why people may hold on to clutter , though , most of them are related to a fear of one type or another . What is present beneath the resistance ? Is it a fear of failure , of success , of letting your light shine , that the Universe will not provide for you in the future , that you “ should ” or “ shouldn ’ t ” do something ? It is very important to dig deep here , examine why these objects that you instinctively know will not support you in your desired future are difficult to release . From where does the resistance originate ?
Because our identity is so often wrapped up in our stuff , letting go of the physical can bring fear and uncertainty . Our stuff sometimes makes us feel safe and protected . Do we want to peel back the layers and expose ourselves to the world ( and ourselves ), or hide behind the false sense of identity and being ?

AFFIRM YOUR INTENTIONS FOR YOUR SPACE : Once you have released clutter from your spaces , affirm your new intentions for the space . Transform your intention statement into an affirmation that further supports you . Energy cannot be destroyed , but it can be transformed . Once you release clutter , make sure that what you replace it with is something that you truly desire . And by replacement , I am not speaking of another object . What emotion , intention , affirmation will you hold in that space that will further support you in your journey ? What brings you joy that can brighten up the energy of the space for you ? How will you arrange the items that remain to create an environment that supports you on your journey ?
Depending on the amount of clutter , you may want to take it in baby steps . Take your time so that you can shift your energy as you shift the energy in your spaces . Peel back the layers of resistance , embrace transformation , and open yourself up to the new possibilities that you create as you clear what no longer serves you in your physical , mental , emotional and spiritual realms .
