Saying Goodbye To A Home | by Madisyn Taylor When we move from one residence to another, we often get so caught up in the forward thrust of where we are going that we forget to properly say goodbye to the home we are leaving behind. Yet saying goodbye is an important part of moving forward. It gives us a sense of completion so that we are able to fully inhabit our new space, having left nothing of ourselves in the old one. In this way, we honor the space that has held and nurtured us. At the same time, we cleanse it and empty it of our energy so that the new residents can make the space theirs. Plan a walk through your home that begins and ends at the front door. Ideally, you will be alone or accompanied only by a person who shared the space with you. Prepare yourself mentally to be as present as you can during this process. As you enter the house, you might say, "I have come to thank you for being my home and to say goodbye." You might touch the walls with your hands as you move through the house, or you might burn sage as an offering, as well as an energy cleanser. Spend some time in each room expressing your gratitude and gathering or releasing any lingering energy from the room. As you do this, you are freeing your home to embrace its new occupants. Remember to visit your outside spaces as well. Plants are especially sensitive to the energy around them and will appreciate your consideration. As you make your way back to the front door, know that you have completed your final journey through your home and that you have honored and blessed it with this ritual of farewell. As you close and lock the door behind you, say one last goodbye. Now you can walk freely into your future and fully inhabit the new spaces that will keep you safe and warm. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Stephanie Bennett Vogt Why do most clearing methods, though well-intentioned, fall short of helping people clear for good? Why is it so hard to simplify our lives and care for ourselves? Why are we so overwhelmed? It took course author, Stephanie Bennett Vogt, twenty years to break the code; to answer these questions and field-test them. The result is a conscious distillation of space clearing, mindfulness, and Kaizen: the Japanese concept of small steps leading to big changes through continuous improvement. Blended together, these principles work to release physical, mental, emotional, and energetic clutter - from the inside out. Instead of "attacking" the stress and "getting rid" of the stuff, as most methods teach, this course will help you work more gently to release the underlying causes - the patterns, resistances, attachments - of anything that holds you back. One minute of "slow drip" clearing morphs into more minutes, less effort, and less baggage. The result? A clearer home, a quieter mind, a calmer nervous system, more ease, space and light--and a lot more happiness. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. Meditation for Transformation 2.
