Too much stuff

With clutter of the just-too-much-for-the-amount-of-space variety; your home starts to feel as if it cannot breathe, your own breathing will actually become tighter and shallower, and you will feel constricted in what you can do in your life.

meditation in motion - getting into garage organization

You have to find your own motivation, but here are some suggestions.

1. To find the plastic margarita glasses for the summer barbecue.
2. So your neighbors can't see the piles of clutter through the windows in your garage door.
3. So your kids won't have to ask you to move things every time they want to take their bicycles out.
4. In case you want to hold an exercise class in a large empty space.
5. To provide parking for your cars.
6. Zen and the art of garage maintenance.
7. Procrastination of something more important or less fun (having a tooth pulled?).
8. Pride in home ownership.
9. Being able to find something you have been looking for.
10. Just to feel good about yourself.

What’s will motivate you to organize your garage?

Clothes and Energy Vibrations

Some people keep things they haven’t worn in twenty years….It may be useful if you can understand why those clothes will never be appropriate again.

In the same way that we decorate the walls of our homes, we choose colors, textures, and designs of fabrics that we wear to reflect our own energy vibrations.

Let Go of Fear

People hold on to their clutter because they are afraid to let it go – afraid of the emotions they may experience in the process of sorting through the stuff, afraid they will make a mistake and later regret getting rid of something, afraid they will leave themselves vulnerable, exposed or at risk in some way.

Clutter clearing can bring up a lot of “stuff” to be faced and dealt with, and intuitively everybody knows it.

Love and fear cannot exist in the same space, so everything you are holding on to through fear is blocking you having more love in your life; clearing it allows more love to start pouring in.

Fear stops you from being who you truly are and doing what you came here to do; clutter clearing brings you greater clarity about your life purpose. Fear suppresses your vital life force energy; releasing clutter leaves you free to be you, which is the greatest gift you can ever give yourself.

The Three Pillars of Serenity

Prayer: Communing with Source. Giving love and energy to our deepest desires and longings. Telling ourselves and Spirit what the next step is along our path. Opening ourselves to all the abundance that the Universe can bless us with. Letting go of obstacles and unblocking ourselves. Asking for grace.

Meditation: Prayer is talking to God; meditation is listening. It is the spaces between our thoughts where Source enters our daily lives. Many people say that they can’t meditate because their mind is too busy. This is called monkey mind.

The only thing required for meditation is making time and showing up. Sit down, close your eyes or stare at one point on the wall, and pay attention to your breathing.

If your mind wanders, bring it back to your breath. Your mind will wander many times. That’s okay. The key to meditating is doing it every day.

It gets easier the longer you have a practice, but even experienced meditators have days when monkey mind is loud. It doesn’t matter. You’re not doing it wrong. Just keep meditating every day.

Gratitude: Happiness doesn’t allow you to feel gratitude; Gratitude allows you to feel happy. Try to think of at least one thing every day that you are grateful for.

Keep a journal or ongoing list and WRITE IT DOWN. I try to write down 10 things I’m grateful for every day. On hard days I go back and read my lists.

What are you grateful for today?

Organizing Meditation

Breathe in. Breathe out. The world is composed entirely of a combination of Yin and Yang. The inhale and the exhale. Expansion and contraction. Stuff comes in and stuff goes out.

How long have you been holding your breath? Breathe with the Universe and let something go – mental, emotional, spiritual or physical.

She who has the most stuff is exhausted. Exhale. Let go. Let God.

There is no emptiness that isn’t filled with God. Exhale.

Stuff out. Love in. Breathe.

Source = Love = You

Prayer of the Elements

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hold on to Nothing

Everything you have is in the care of the God Force. If you come home and find the stereo is missing, you can say, “Ah, they’ve come for the stereo,” rather than getting uptight about it.

It’s just gone back to the God Force. Somebody else has it now. That leaves space for another stereo to come into your life.

Or it leaves space for no stereo at all. Now you’ll have the silence to meditate and think about who you are and what you want in this life.

Become the Universe

The Dali Lama says that “all beliefs begin in the heart.”

If this is true, the greater our understanding of love and ultimately the connection we have to the Universe helps us to create a world in which our beliefs paint glorious pictures on the realm of existence we call reality.

How to start getting organized?

Everything is willy-nilly. Upside down. Sideways. And lost.

Where do I start? How do I begin? When will my world be right again?

The world looks dark. I feel a lack. Oh, the lightbulb’s out. Imagine that!

What’s bothering me most? That’s where I begin?

How simple! I’m in.

Where are you going to begin?
