A Tidy House – Clarity and Organization
Your emotional world and the people around you are a metaphor for the physical world of your room, the house or apartment in which you live.
This is time, as the summer draws to its last half for you to consider if there are people like clothes and furniture that should leave your world. You want things and people around you who are energetic, surprising, trustworthy, and stimulating for you.
Try sitting the place where you normally watch TV or read. Do not turn on the TV or pick up your book. Look around and see if everything you look at deserves to be in your life. How have your tastes changed? If a piece of furniture no longer interests you or serves a purpose, does it have any special meaning for you?
Now, close your eyes and “see” your space without each thing. How does it change your vision of your space? Is it better. Could you replace what is no longer suitable with something new, interesting and exciting to look at?
Now think of people in your life. Is the same true of the emotional world of people and friends. If you decide to let some people pass from your life, do not be harsh and judgmental. They have been good for you for the time they have been part of your life.
Even those who have been harsh and difficult for you, you have learned from the experience and now it is time to move on, just as you passed on the text book at school after you had finished the course.
Be clear in what you say to someone who is leaving your life. Learn from the experience of parting just as you learned from them being in hour life. Feel the burst of energy from the freedom of the change in the relationships in your life.
Lay of the Land – Ancestral Wisdom
Each of us has a life path to walk. The shaman can see our lives in the context of the path and our guides helping us meet the challenges we face and the successes and failures. The shaman sees the path is not smooth for some and like glass for others.
But beware, glass can be slippery, do not fall!
The shaman sees how our ancestors and how they play a part in our journey and how their experiences can guide you. The shaman sees that from time to time we need a mentor, someone who has trod the path similar to the one we are walking and can give guidance and help.
Now is the time to be open to those around us who can be our mentor and physical guide in this world. Now is the time to be open to the encouragement and help our guides and ancestors. Be open to change.
Remember, not all who walk a similar path to you will use all the gifts the path has to offer. There are plentiful gifts for you to collect and make use of. In the same way, you will not use all the gifts on your life path and in so doing you leave gifts for others. Listen to your mentor, your guide who has walked beside your path, and let them teach and encourage you.
