“Most [traditional] clearing efforts do not make room for us to feel our feelings, honor our ebbs and flows, create a container of safety, embrace our shadow side, or allow us to be more compassionate with our selves. The modus operandi focuses on end result, not the journey; on our intellect, not our innate wisdom; on throwing away, not letting go…
“Until we begin to make a shift in our mindset that recognizes and embraces and includes the feminine aspects of clearing, we will not begin to change our lives, nor bring change to the planet. It is, in fact, this more balanced treatment that takes us beyond clutter-freedom into the vaster territory of our most spacious self.” –Your Spacious Self **
I wrote that back in 2007 when my book first came out.
If you’ve read my book, taken a workshop with me, or followed my blog, you’ll know that clearing any thing or thought is not sustainable until we connect with, and embrace the more receptive, non-linear, mysterious, messy – feminine side – of clearing.
It’s as simple as that.
There appears to be a groundswell of support for it too. A couple of weeks ago more than 30,000 women from 36 countries participated in a ground-breaking f.r.e.e teleconference called “The Keys to Feminine Power” hosted by Claire Zammit and Katherine Woodward Thomas.
It was FABULOUS. You can sign up to download and listen to it here.
I believe that Claire and Katherine are on to something really big with their simple and radical message. By challenging all our old beliefs, (assumptions, habits, patterns), and gently guiding us beyond them to reveal our deeper calling and purpose, they are taking “clearing” to a whole new level.
If you missed their call and would like to see what all the fuss is about click here.
I loved their message so much that I signed on to take their 7-week online course which begins this Wednesday, August 10th. You can take the course in the comfort of your own home, at the time that suits you. I can’t wait. Anyone care to join me?
If this message resonates, please pass it on to all your sisters, girlfriends, mothers, daughters… And if it doesn’t, don’t sweat it. Move on to something that does make your heart sing.
And if it presses your buttons, simply notice that!
