Do you suffer from emotional clutter? Is suffering even the
right word? Maybe it is, maybe a better description is ‘living
with’ emotional clutter. Emotional clutter is like an addiction.

You carry your emotional baggage around thinking you can easily
handle it, especially if you treat it like it doesn’t exist.
Eventually it reaches a point when you feel it’s out of control,
or even worse, you are out of control.

Learning how to ‘let go’ is the cornerstone of cleaning emotional
clutter. It can be one of the most empowering experiences of
your life. As you let go, you free up space to expand, unleashing
the reasons why you hold onto your feelings.

Emotional clutter is a form of interference. When a river is
blocked with trees, logs, bushes, etc. the water doesn’t flow
easily. The river begins to stagnate. So many people ask me why
their lives are so difficult, why they always feel stuck. My
answer is based on this same principle of the river being
cluttered with debris.

Our emotional debris is like deadwood in the river. The more you
remove and eliminate the deadwood, the better the flow. Generally
we hold onto emotional clutter because there is fear, and often
shame as well. When we finally make the decision to clear the
deadwood, or debris, it means facing the fear and doing it
anyway.

If your inner landscape is cluttered, your outer landscape may
reflect that. Often people with emotional baggage collect
material baggage in the form of clutter in their homes. Clearing
the external clutter is marvelous, but unless you also clear the
emotional clutter, you may be destined to repeat the cluttered
house over and over again.

You may think that hanging onto things keeps you secure, so you
don’t feel loss and scarcity. In fact, that is far from the
truth. We hold onto things because we already feel loss and
scarcity. It only amplifies the feelings.

One of the first rules of manifesting abundance is to pay
yourself first and to tithe 10%. Give it away, even if you feel
you don’t have enough. This is the act of trust. It shows faith
in the knowledge that abundance will come back to you ten fold
and there is abundance for everyone.

Holding onto clutter and emotional baggage may be the way you
feel worth, or self confidence. It may be a false sense of
strength and security. Remember, these are the times when you
alone are holding the deadwood in place to block the river.

Many people are afraid to cry. They fear that if they simply let
go then they will be washed away in an uncontrollable flood of
tears. The truth is, once the dam is clear, there is an initial
surge of water, eventually slowing to a steady flow.

It is the holding that causes so much pain. As you hold onto
feelings, refusing to acknowledge them, you put yourself in a
very tedious juggling act. You have assumed the role of guard,
caretaker, juggler and strongman, not to mention judge and
critic. There is plenty of fodder for the judge/critic to use to
berate you and deem you unworthy.

Now all this could have been easily avoided, had you simply felt
the feelings at the time of the incident. Sadly, the times we
are really good at that are when we are very young. Something
hurts = we cry, we’re angry = we yell, stamp our feet, etc. I
say this is sad because it is our ever-so enlightened society
that has taught our parents to stop that process.

How many times have I heard in the grocery store a youngster
being told not to cry, stop being upset, don’t be angry, etc.
This is when we learned to hold the feelings. This is when the
dam began. Yes, we can thank our parents, but they were only
doing their best with the same thing that happened to them when
they were little. It is a societal pattern and it is rampant.

Learning how to let go is relatively easy once you know the
steps:

1. Awareness
2. Intention
3. Choice
4. Action

These simple steps are used consistently in the process of
releasing emotional clutter. Knowing how to use the tools is
easy, it’s actually the sorting needed to create the awareness
that can be the most challenging part.

Sorting is the precursor to transformation and change. It is
opening the door so that you actually have the awareness. This
step can require assistance. It’s difficult to do when you are
standing in it.

It’s like the TV series ‘Clean Sweep’ on TLC. Organizing
professionals come into your home and help you sort your physical
clutter. You can then have awareness, see your intention to
change the situation, choose what you keep and what you
eliminate, then take action by throwing things away or having a
yard sale. The end result is usually two newly cleared,
clutter-free and renovated rooms. You can see some emotional
awareness happening, but remember, it took years of inner
emotional cluttering to develop into these seriously cluttered
homes.

The emotional changes do not happen overnight. There is a
beginning sort and the first shades of awareness. Will the
owners of the home return to their emotional habit of clutter?
They may because their inner landscape was not cleared.
Generally this inner clearing works differently. The inner
clearing happens, and then the external cleaning happens as a
result. The lasting effects are there because the people
actually released the emotional deadwood creating the clutter in
their homes.

It’s simple, when we feel cluttered inside, we create clutter
outside. One exception to this rule are the obsessive ‘neat
freaks.’ They obsessively clean externally attempting to create
inner order because they are so emotionally cluttered and may not
know how to deal with the emotional deadwood. Either way, it is
an act of control. We control our outer circumstances if we feel
completely out of control on the inside. Or, we are so
controlled on the inside, holding back the emotion that we are
totally out of control on the outside. Which are you?

Of course, there is a third option, which we can all aspire to-
the balanced person, centered, at peace within and living a
clutter-free life. In fact, balanced people may be detached from
material things. They have created an open space for flow. We
can look at these folks with awe and amazement because they
experience peace within. No longer is life about control and
chaos, a battle between the inner and outer emotional life. It
is now about peace and balance.

Which lifestyle would you prefer?

In creation centered spirituality, Matthew Fox (founder of Wisdom University in Oakland, CA) outlines four paths of spirituality. These four paths are: The positive path; the negative path, the creative path and the transformative path. These are different names then the ones used by Fox, but the same paths. According to Fox, during our lifetimes we are always on one of these four paths, whether we recognize them or not. These paths are not linear. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they can go backwards. We can be on different paths at the same time, because we have many roles in life. The above description is a linear explanation so we can get a basic understanding of how they work and affect our lives. As we do this, we can begin to use our experiences along the paths to make the most out of our lives. We can understand them and gain strength, spiritual growth, and awareness by consciously incorporating them into our spirituality.

In this article we will discuss the positive path, also known by Fox as Via Positiva. In later articles we will discuss the other paths and we can prosper by taking advantage of the characteristics of each one.

The positive path is the path on which we find ourselves when we are at peace and at rest. When we realize who we are and claim our true identities instead of our created identities, we are at peace, and in a state of balance and comfort. The human experience, according to this philosophy, is a very positive one. You may have experienced something like this your own life, while you were looking at a beautiful scene, taking a walk, listening to beautiful music, or meditating. The mystical experience, that feeling that we get when we are in the zone, so to speak, and feel that we are connected with everything, is not something that is novel or unusual. That is the way we humans are naturally, before we take on the socialization, and therefor, the cares and desires of this world. The positive path represents who our non conditioned selves are.

We are basically people who were born from a long line of ancestors that were human and pre-human. We all come from the first cell. We are even older than that. We come from the stuff of stars and pre-stars and the elements of the universe. We carry the same energy that brought for the birth of the universe within us. We call it life force. Throughout millions of millennia we evolved carried forward by the power of the life force. Life after life, birth after birth, beings were multiplying and protecting their offspring. This protection, education, and nurturing of offspring after offspring led to you. You are the fulfillment of the dreams of millions of beings who hoped that their descendents would be better than they. Note that I say be better, not have more. That is a modern phenomenon.

The knowledge and experiences that you have, just by being raised by your parents and through genetic memory spans back to the beginning of time. You are not a being steeped in sin, or in need of redemption, you are a vibrant part of the universe.
Realizing this, who and what you really are, helps you experience the path of the positive more easily and all of the other paths.

We human beings are, in actuality, beautiful beings when we are not being corrupted by the influences of the world and unjust society. We are intelligent. We are capable of making our own decisions, if we are given enough information. We are, if we would like, the hands of God who can not only change our fate and change our own destiny, but who can bring the love of God into a dangerous, frightening world. That same divine spark, the spoken word as it is referred to in many religions, is still working within us. We can use that energy to create love, peace, justice, and beauty or to fulfill our own selfish passions

If you are a person who is seeking love, but is often put down, or pressured to conform to become something that you don’t want to be, remember who you are. If you are not the best looking, the fastest, the brightest, the most perfect, remember who you really are. Remember that you are here, my friend, because you are a winner. You are here to express yourself and your positivity. Even being born here, as a human being, as a sperm cell raising against thousands of others and a thousand struggles, meant that we all had to win to survive. We are all here as a result of being winners. Let us never forget that. As long as we hold onto knowledge of ourselves on the positive path, we are free.

Human beings have created much beauty and wonderful things. We have reached for the stars. We have learned to feed millions. We have done many great things. Of course, with all of these great things come the negatives. This is the path of Via Negative, or the negative path. In our next article we will discuss Via Negativa and how we can make best use of this path in our lives.

This is Amazing!

I’ve been thinking that it’s time for me to start managing blood sugar in my body because I have been feeling icky for so long and nothing else seems to be helping. No amount of rest, food, caffeine, chocolate or medications seemed to make me feel ALL better. So I checked out this site. Amazing! That’s all I have to say. I wanted to share it with everyone so that you can all feel the way I feel now that I’ve looked into this.

Some men may not know or do not have the slightest idea if
a woman is ready to be kissed. These men may be sitting
beside their dates talking too much they suddenly realize
how the lips of their dates are so kissable.

Their imagination will then take control, but this would
also mean disaster if done wrong. This may often leave
these men without a second chance for another date with the
woman.

If a guy finds himself talking to a girl and wondering if
she’s ready to be kissed, he may softly touch her hair and
give a compliment about it.

If the girl shows a favorable reaction, this may be a sign
of getting closer to a kiss. Get closer and try reaching
for her hair again.

Touch the hair tips and simply gaze on her lips and eyes.
The fact that she does not mind about you getting closer to
her is a sign that she is comfortable. This is a sign for a
guy to go and kiss the girl.

Some guys try to go out on an adventurous date in order to
make the kissing move more suave and natural. One
particular example is a guy who usually takes a girl to a
small boat ride on a river.

Upon sailing along the river, he happens to direct the boat
to a place covered with trees and fireflies - truly a
romantic place to kiss.

A guy can also take her date to some ancient ruins in a
local spot and manage to spend time walking until dark.
These ruins usually light up at night.

The guy can take his date to the top of the ruins where
they can see the city all beautifully lit up. This is when
the guy should make a move and kiss his date.

Have you ever had a person in your life who literally thrived on playing the blame game? You know the ones that are constantly belly aching that it’s your fault? Then you actually believe them, so you play the game of fixing all of their problems! You become the rescuer? I did! I didn’t realize it at the time of course because that is a life lesson that I was working on mastering and boy did we play a good game together! We danced in victim consciousness together creating disaster after disaster for ten years! He created, I rescued! He created, I rescued! Then one day he got himself in another situation (and of course this was all my fault!) I was so sick and tired of continually putting forth all my energy into fixing his problems that I threw in the towel. I quit. That’s the day the light bulb came on! I realized that I was not allowing him to take responsibility for his own life. I was doing him the worst service possible. I was dis-empowering him! I was taking his power away by fixing all his problems not to mention dis-empowering myself! That’s the day I gladly, and I mean gladly, handed him his life back on a gold lined platter! Ahh to peace once again!

Blamers are people that refuse to take any kind of responsibility for their own lives. When things go wrong in their life they tend to blame other people. Whether something goes wrong at home, work or school they try to find someone else to blame. I have found they tend to blame those that love them the most. Why? Because these will be the first people to ‘fix’ their problems and become their rescuers. Blamers will rarely admit to their own problems. Typically the statements you will hear from them are “It wasn’t my fault.” “How was I suppose to know?” “It’s your fault.” etc. Their dialogue usually goes something like this. “If only you had done something differently, then I wouldn’t be in the predicament that I’m in. It’s your fault.”

By blaming other people for the problems in their life, they become powerless to change anything. Their thoughts hold them in victim consciousness. They believe and hold thoughts of:

• I cannot change my life.
• I am a victim of circumstance.
• I am a victim of my past.
• Life is hard.
• There is always more work to be done.
• Plus numerous other ones.

In order to move past this, they must begin to think differently. They must change themselves. We all know by now, that we can’t change anyone but ourself, right? We can’t change the blamer, we can only work on changing ourself and our reaction to the blamer. I learnt that I needed to stop being the rescuer! We know it’s not our fault, so no more fixing it! How far are you willing to sacrifice yourself for someone else’s problem? That’s a tough question, but how low will you go? Take a tough love stance and let them take responsibility for their own life. They created it. They need to learn whatever it is that they have created so let them experience it themselves! If this is a spouse or child, it’s even harder because nine times out of ten, the problem effects your marriage and your family. I’m certainly not saying this is going to be a walk in the park! It isn’t easy but you have to stand your ground the second they present their next problem to you. Ask them what ‘they’ are going to do about ‘their’ problem. A temper tantrum will likely ensue, leave the room if you have to and don’t send negative energy back into the cycle! Come back to it after they have completed their dramatic hissy fit. This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn the limits on your boundaries and also stretch your compassionate detachment muscles! All very empowering tasks and ones that will bring empowerment knocking on your door.

Knowing beforehand that this is a repetitive cycle where both people are getting their desired energy fix, will make it easier to remain de-attached to the blamers problem. Why? Because now you as the rescuer will be taking responsibility for your part in the game! The blamers gets satisfaction for not taking responsibility for their life along with the boost of power and control they feel they have over you when you do fix their problem. The rescuer gets satisfaction for being the hero and solving the problem.

If you are at the point now in your life of rolling your eyeballs in disgust because here comes another problem to be fixed, then you are well aware that it is time to change things! Where do you start? Yourself. You can use positive affirmations. Write them down on some index cards and carry them with you, put them beside your night stand, hang them above the kitchen sink, on the mirror in the bathroom and even stick them in your visor of your car! You can also change your thought pattern by replacing a negative thought with a positive one whenever they creep in. Once you become aware of your thoughts you will be amazed at how much negativity is hanging around up there having a pity party! Another method is going into a slight meditative state and re-programming your mind with positive beliefs and positive thoughts. Visualization is also very effective. You can visualize yourself with the desired outcome of resolving the issue at hand. Not fixing the person’s problem, but resolving the issue between yourself and the blamer. Hard feelings, how you will handle it, how you see them re-acting to you, etc.

Throughout our history, there have been many great, wise people from all walks of life that carry the same basic understanding: what we believe we will somehow create. This is so much more powerful and truthful than once thought! We truly are the creators of our life! The continual thoughts flowing through our minds is the projection of our soon to be reality! Regardless if the thoughts are positive or negative, what you think, you will create! James Allen once said, “The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.” Maitri Upanishad says that everything that happens in our own world is a reflection of how we think. “One’s own thought is one’s world. What a person thinks is what he becomes.” We are powerful beings, waking up to the true potential of who we really are. Be aware of what thoughts you allow to stay in mind. Your future is being created by you and only you!

I remember reading a study a while ago. In this particular experiment, they had ten ‘average’ people dress the same and line up in front of a panel of convicted robbers. Five of these ‘average’ people had low self-esteem, had fears of being attacked by someone and no self-confidence. The other five ‘average’ people had high self-esteem, didn’t carry any thoughts of being attacked and were very confident. The panel of criminals knew none of this information. They were asked to pick three people they would choose to be their next victim by appearance only. Each criminal picked three out of the five low self-esteem category! Why am I telling you this? Your thoughts are energy. What you think is sent out. For these particular people, their thoughts are projecting I am a victim. The criminal picks up the signal and targets that person. Even though these thoughts were fearful and not something they wanted to happen, it happened because they were thinking it. They created it. Powerful! This is what I would classify as a fatal attraction! These attractions occur daily through this hidden language of energy/thought. Granted it goes both ways, negative creation and positive creation. We interact through our energetic body, the invisible field surrounding our physical body. Our thoughts make up a part of this energetic body.

If you have the desire to change your life, regardless of what condition you want to change, change your thoughts and your belief system. Thoughts and beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world alter our perception, our hope, our energy, our health, our mood, our actions, our relationships, our entire life! Thoughts are extremely powerful and creative. The example above was a negative one, now imagine how powerful you can be if you change your thoughts to positive ones. Attracting wealth, great health, vitality, love, positive relationships, the list is endless! It is yours to create as you are the creator, so start creating joy and the perfect life you have always wanted today!

What kind of thoughts are you allowing to create your life?

 The scientific communities are buzzing over electrifying new developments detailing a new system to extract Hot Flash thermal energy of menopausal women. A research lab has suggested women will soon be equipped with an appliance presently known as a COEGR (Cyclical Organic Electricity Grid Refueler) that can soak up the thermal energy during a Hot Flash and storehouse it for use on battery apparatus, or be transferred as electrical thermal energy into the power grid to be sold to the electrical consortia.
 
 The human thermal energy system has the potential to be known as one of the most important Green Feats ever.
 
 Scientists are urgently studying the possibility of converting thermal energy produced by the organic heat pump of women in menopause into a very real sustainable energy source. Is it any wonder that it would be the collective effors of women who eventually save our little planet Earth? Since they’re going to inherit it anyways, they may as well save it in the meantime. Our studies of population tendencies provide evidence that there is no better time for a thermal energy initiative like this. The existing aggregate of Hot Flash percolating power shall and will be tamed to provide power for our thermal energy needs. Female thermal energy could well turn into the Green Feat development that saves us all.
 
 The control of this environmentally friendly thermal energy generation might be the beginning we need worldwide to save the planet, to a level that we have not seen before. Not only will women possess the power they will also BE the power, and solidify perpetual control of Earth to the natural guardians of nature - Womankind. The popularity of 40-something females, will grow to an astonishing level and allow them to assume the mantle of being in control of society once and for all.
 
 In the future, power addicted junkies will bow in the presence of the menopausal woman for the gift of their “green” thermal energy. The “glow” of a woman’s hot flash during menopause will change from the terror it ingrains in some men currently, to one of admiration as we will all know, the reality that she is the producer of the thermal energy for his “Crackberry”.
 
 Picture a day when you can just plug a cellphone into a COEGR thermal energy device and recharge your battery! The Woman in menopause will quite simply become the most groovy and in demand souls around,(except I think they already are now…) Power hungry people will look for them at the mall, as we come to grips with the fact that they “Got The Power”! Shopping Centers could power the lighting for their entire facility from the thermal energy of their female buyers! Without a doubt, substantial rebates would most certainly apply to supplying the thermal energy.
