There is an interesting truth about transforming your environment and transforming yourself: you can’t do one without the other happening--it’s Physics! “Energy cannot be created or destroyed but CAN BE converted to another form” (mini-physics 101). How about transforming some stagnant energy into creativity, joy, focus or connection? Wouldn’t you LOVE that?
I have seen clients transform, in both subtle and profound ways, from embracing this powerful principle. *What if your creative space became functional and enticing with a clear space to work? What if you actually were drawn to sit and create art every single day--because the chaos was handled, there was SPACE and materials were at hand? How would that change your life? Your joy? *Or, what if you exchanged dusty files, piles of paper, a cluttered desktop and CRAZY CHAOS in your office for powerful focus, clarity and inspiration? Would that translate to efficiency, quality clients, perhaps more free time for you? Sounds pretty good, huh? *How about the basement? Could you imagine trading in stuff strewn about, and cardboard boxes full of “who-knows-what” for feeling light on your feet and ready for anything? Then when that opportunity to move to California or the Tetons arises...you’re ready! Nearly Packed! It’s easy to say, “YES!” and GO! Any and all of these scenarios (and more) are TOTALLY POSSIBLE! You can be your own physicist :) and create the EXACT energy that could move your life forward in a quantum leap. Working with the energy in your own home can be a very powerful tool for transformation--your home is an extension of you, a living breathing journal of how things are going in your life. Maybe that realization, alone, will get you moving! We are in relationship to our homes and EVERYTHING in our homes. A recent study says that the average American owns 300,000 items! Yep, that’s a lot! Our possessions, no matter HOW they got into our lives, are now installed somewhere in our space, whether it’s in plain sight or hidden away. And whether our space feels stuck--or in flow--has everything to do with how our lives are going. Here’s the fun part... As we let go of old stagnant items and reduce the chaos in our space, it’s quite possible to notice a perceptible increase in our own personal energy--challenges suddenly feel more do-able, opportunities lineup, helpful people arrive with information for our future. Exciting isn’t it? Invest in yourself, work on your home in this powerful way and then have your home support you as you go for your dreams. About a year ago, a client of mine, Sandy, all of a sudden got inspired to take on her “extra” bedroom, which was more like disorganized storage--kind of a “catch-all” room. First we set the intention, talked through how things were going in her life, what she wanted to strengthen or create for herself. As we talked, she said several times, “I am fully trained to do Reiki--I have put that skill on the shelf since moving here and really want to revive it! I had a thriving practice in Philadelphia! Some of these boxes never got unpacked from that move--2 years ago.” Hmmm, Sandy, should we turn this space into a Reiki room????? About half of what was in the room was donation-worthy, lots of extra furniture, clothing, and old files left the premises. Mementos were packed up neatly into a couple of beautiful storage containers and her Reiki Treatment Room was born! We picked out a beautiful paint color, (Georgian Green--Benjamin Moore), added beautiful, neutral window coverings for privacy and light, hung art and mirrors to enhance the room, a small efficient desk was uncovered and placed by the window--with beautiful, soft lighting...Voila! She was IN BUSINESS! One year later, she is working at her former job only half time and is hoping in one more year to leave her job completely and work from her home office, doing what she loves and getting her gifts out to the world. An excellent example of transforming energy! Where in your life are you inspired to sing a new tune, turn over a new leaf, grow and stretch? How could transforming the current energy of your space create a shift for you? Please call me if I can support you as you step forward to claim a life you would love--it would be an honor to support you. XOXO Lots of Love, Jane
