SEBASTOPOL, CA. ~ Whether your inspiration is spring cleaning, a big move (my current inspiration) or any other desire for change, clearing out old items can be a powerful self improve- ment practice.
Clearing out old items is all about energy flow. One of the most important shifts in perception that is necessary when clearing out old items is to understand that as you let go of old things that
freely release items with the Law of Circulation in mind, it allows for more of the good that matches our new vibration to flow into our experience. * If you have a hard time releasing items that you no longer use but have emotion- al value to you, another shift in perception that can be helpful is remembering that if you release that unused item to a friend or char- ity, you can provide anoth- er with the opportunity to enjoy that item. As you are
in the process of clearing, visualizing the person who will receive your recycled item enjoying it thoroughly can be very helpful.** The clearing process is also a great time to reorga- nize your space to match your current vibration. Often after a lot of ener- getic change, our space can feel like it no longer “fits” us like it used to.
because your space often takes on your energy.

if you have upgraded your vibration, it is often help- ful to rearrange your space or upgrade some items to match your new vibration, resulting in increased use of the space, productivity in the space and further align- ment with your new vibra- tion in many other areas of your life.
And remember, as with most self improvement prac- tices, the more often you do it, the better the results! So start your clearing practice this spring and make it a
habit and kick that Law of Circulation into high gear! * Soon after clearing out a
large amount of old, unused items in preparation for my move, I received an unex- pected gift for $200 from one friend, a gift of $50 from another friend and receive an Amazon gift card for $80 through helping with a survey! **Karen Joyce, Mary Morrissey’s co-facilitator for her Prosperity Plus Course, shared that when she is ready to take some items to Good Will, in addi- tion to the items she no lon- ger uses, she also chooses one of her current favorite items to give as well. then
She visualizes someone
coming upon her favored item and revels in the joy on their face when they pur- chase it and take it home. She does this knowing as she releases that item, she is drawing in another item equally as valuable or more into her experience.

Little Tony was so happy to see his grandmother that he ran up and gave her a big hug. "I'm so happy to see you, Grandma. Now daddy will have to do that trick he's been talking about!" His grandmother was curious, "what trick is that, sweetie?"
The little boy grinned at her, "I heard Daddy tell Mommy that he would climb the wall if you came to visit us again!"
