As the last vestiges of winter depart,
all of nature enters into a lively and animated state of renewal. In the
springtime, Earth’s life energy is awakened from dormancy, and the cycle
of life starts anew. We have the ability to sense this change taking place
even before the seasonal flora around us blooms. It is natural,
therefore, that during spring, many of us begin to feel the urge to clear
away the clutter that has accumulated while we’ve enjoyed being
sequestered in our winter nests. Now is the time to let the fresh breezes
cleanse the energy in our homes.
Spring cleaning is traditionally a way
to welcome a new season — one in which we open our doors and windows to
let visitors and the sunshine in. It is also a way to remove stagnant
energy from our homes in order to prepare our personal space for the positive,
verdant energy of spring and summer. As you sweep away the dust and
clutter that has blocked the flow of energy in your home, you inevitably
sweep away some of the issues that may have been blocking you in your
life. Intention is important, so before you begin cleaning, ask yourself
what needs to be cleansed, what can be discarded, and how you can make
your home a reflection of your best self. Then, gather your tools and
supplies — vinegar mixed with water makes a wonderful natural cleanser,
and putting everything you need in a bucket with a handle will make it
easier to move your supplies around your home. Once you’ve begun spring
cleaning, you may find that with each piece of clutter you discard and
each item that you clean — you feel increasingly energized. Divesting
yourself of unnecessary possessions can help you regain clarity of mind,
while cleaning your windows can help you refocus your vision. As you
clean, invite healing and vital energy into your home and heart.
When you’ve cleaned your home from top
to bottom, create a floral arrangement with flowers from your garden, or
buy a new plant at a farmers market. You may notice that your home feels
newer, brighter, and full of new fresh energy. By cleansing your home,
you can harness the vivacity and vigor of spring.
