A Year To Clear What’s Holding You Back
With all our best intentions and rich resources, why is it so hard to slow down, simplify, and care for ourselves? Why do most clearing efforts fall short or peter out? Why are we so afraid to let go? Our drive to attain and succeed comes at a great cost to the soul. We are malnourished, if not starved when it comes to compassionate self-acceptance, awareness, and care. We yearn for simplicity but struggle to find it. We ache for balance but can't sustain it. There is no time to juggle it all, let alone clear the things and thoughts that have caused us to feel so overwhelmed in the first place. Most traditional approaches do not make room for us to feel the feelings that come up when we clear, and they make us feel bad when we fall short. These linear modalities do not account for our fight-or-flight response, nor recognize the energetic impact that our thoughts and emotions can have on our living spaces. After years of study, deep inquiry, and personal experience, here's what I know for sure: For clearing to last you need to put yourself first. You won't make a dent in reducing the stress and stuff until you've healed the patterns that created it. If you don't feel safe, you won't let go. The clearing is an inside job that begins and ends with you.
