Spring and Autumn Cleanse

If everything in our home environment is a reflection of ourselves and our personal life, then the wisdom for a spring and autumn cleanse speaks for itself.

An inner spring clean coupled with an outer spring clean will support the body and soul on every level.

For the inner cleanse the choices out there are immense. Choose a gentle cleanse, preferably organic, otherwise a hard purge can leave one feeling dreadful for days.

Spring and autumn are the very best times for a deep environmental clean and clear.Go through the closet and drawers and confine anything that has not been worn for a while, does not fit or is otherwise unsuitable, to the charity shop bag.Any clothing that is past its best,bin. Same for linen and towels, not forgetting boots, shoes and slippers.

Next onto the bathroom cupboards with the same gusto and finally the kitchen cupboards, the two worst areas and main culprits to hoard no end of 'stuff' that will sit there for evermore.One comedian jokes about John West tuna being at the back of the cupboard for 4 years....we can all relate to that one.

Once the above is achieved, cleaning is easy. Feel rightly satisfied and happy when its done, but its far more than that, it is a feeling of lightness in self and brightness in the home, feeling uplifted and more in tune with self and the environment.

 The home is the sanctuary, the safe place, the place that refelects our inner selves,therefore it is up to us to create our own harmonious space where we can truly feel at home,to rest, relax and find peace. Then and only then will we fully release the quiet knowing of inner self, to bring forth the full potential of the creative self, by preparing the space that is conducive to a balanced life, inner and outer. To breathe and expand and fire into life for the benefit of self and loved ones.
