Lesson 27: Feel Good

So I was to clear something on Saturday to make me feel good by adding mindfulness to the task without judgement.

My task was really simple. Moving paper rubbish from upstairs to downstairs. Moving some make up container that fell onto the floor to my dresser and moving a cleaning spray back to the bathroom cupboard. I tend to leave random items in random places which can create a mess. To me it's an eyesore and yet it takes so much effort for me to move it. I am not sure why I am this way but that's just how it is. And it's not about laziness. It's just sometimes it's like I don't have the will power to just do it. I don't know any other way to explain it but that's just how it is. 

The only way I could move the items was to tell myself that they each had a place. I didn't judge myself when doing it and just moved them where they needed to go. Such small steps but big steps for me at the same time. I do feel better that I'm not staring at them without doing anything and leaving them in their mess. That's the positive for the day.

Lesson 27: Everything that happens...

I realised that my posting is behind. Just got busy this weekend to stop and write on my blog. I don't want to rush anything because it actually needs proper time and thought. So Saturday required me to look at synchronicity that would be happening today. Everything that happens is a "Divine Convergence". From the people we meet, the situations we're placed in, when we are awake, when we are aware and how we will be open to the possibilities.

On Saturday I worked at the witchcraft store I normally do as part of my learning. There is this amazing soul named Will who comes in to have private lessons. He's a young guy who is very much open on his path and is exceedingly good at everything he learns. He masters pretty much anything that is presented to him. He has mastered tarot, learned scrying the other day, learned palmistry, astral projects, gets messages from spirit and just general guidance in strong visions. I am in awe at his skill. To be so young and so open to his path just amazes me. I look forward to him coming in and hearing his stories. I like engaging in the conversations we have and what interpretations we can come to with his visions. To me, it's like watching a wonder unfold. I can't wait to see how he changes the world, and glad that he's crossed my path because I'm seeing how he develops from the beginning. 

Along with Will is his mate Leroy. Leroy is a somewhat skeptic. He needs proof in order to believe - which is fair enough. I had some interesting conversation with Leroy as he waited for Will, but I found that a lot of the conversation revolved around his own personal issues. Even though I didn't really know this person, I was giving advice to this 22 year old because it seemed like there was so much pressure on him to succeed. I always feel like I'm a good listener of people, and this was the first time I had a conversation outside of my group of friends, where I may have had impact. It was actually kind of fulfilling and made me feel like I can actually become the healer I want to be.

Then my night was spent with my mate Colin. I felt like he just needed a friend. It's why I didn't do my blog posts. Sometimes you just got to prioritise at the time. I was there to listen and chill. I hope I assisted Colin in some way by just being there. I don't want to go into further detail because I don't feel it's right to talk about my friends experiences.

So, the universe has really allowed me to cross paths with people like me and engage in some form of healing. To me, I see this all as that I'm on the right path. It might just seem like a regular day, but it's looking at the finer detail that makes me appreciate my days more.

Lesson 26: Move It

Today's lesson has me moving 1 item without judging myself as bad or the item bad. Just 1 item for 1 minute to move some stuck energy. 

I wanted to clean up my dressing table and looking at it made me a bit overwhelmed so I did something simpler. I washed the dishes. I tend to pile up dishes and then not want to do them. It seems such a simple task for others but it's really hard for me to do sometimes. So I just did it without too much thought. I knew I couldn't let it pile up any longer because I know I'd be overwhelmed later if I didn't. Apart from this, I also moved some empty containers from my bathroom. I also have a tendency to just leave empty containers in my bathroom without moving them to the recycling bin. The whole time I did those tasks, I had to tell myself "You can do it". And the relief I felt afterwards!

That's about all I can muster today. It's a public holiday here in Australia and I'm just tired at the moment. I haven't had good sleep lately and want to just rest today and not do much. The most I am doing is these blog posts and then Netflix. No obligations and just wanting to chill. Happy Friday!

Day 26 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Dreams

Lesson 26: If you have already started...

Today's lesson has me thinking about how the Universe set me onto my path, if it has already go me onto the path of pursuing my dreams and to make a list of the people who have helped create my dreams.

If my dream is to become a writer, the one person who has encouraged me to achieve this goal, is my best mate Brett. He has always told me to write every day, even if it's not much but just to get something down. Now I haven't been doing this, until now with these 365 day challenges and blog posts. I used to write poems every day in some notebooks but after what seemed like a succession of unfortunate events, I lost my spark. Even though me keeping this online journal is not writing in the sense of a book, I feel like its good practise to continue into something bigger as I'm made to write every day about the lesson at hand. Every now and then I will post a poem on my blog. Not forced poems but whatever comes at the time. 

Another person who has encouraged me to write is my mate Nasiha. I remember some time ago, I told her I have nothing to write about. And she was like "nooooo, your journey is worth documenting". So that's why I also took on these 365 day challenges because I feel like they are part of my journey and it forces me to write every day. I didn't think my journey was worth documenting. Heck, I don't think many people read my blog but I figure if someone out there might resonate and want to know how to I'm going on my spiritual path and my year to clear, whether that be a stranger or friend, then it's worth it right?

I feel like my spiritual path has been part need and part dream. The universe encouraged me on this path and let me remember the person I wanted to be. My mate Joanna continues to encourage me in this path. That me growing into the person I am meant to be is going to be a continuous knowlege ride but it's who I truly am. I guess it's nice to know someone out there supports you in your witchcraft and light work without judgement. I know it's just an extension of me and I'm looking forward to whom i become. I know I want to help people in this path. So, I feel like it's all good things that are going to happen, if I work hard for it.

Day 25 - A Year to Clear - Move Stuck Energy

Lesson 25: VIDEO - Move Stuck Energy

I'm a bit late with my post because I got busy. I did it half way but didn't have time to write what I felt. This lesson had a video of Stephanie Bennett Vogt reiterating that clutter is essentially stuck energy. All those feelings of discomfort when trying to face a task is just stuck energy we need to release. We tend to see clutter as something we need to fix and manage ASAP when we should really clear in the present moment and clear for good. It's not about the desired outcome but how we relate to the experience. We relate to the experience as an observer and this is opening up our awareness by feeling it. We need to tune into our 6 senses (6th being intuition) without judgement and feel with our hearts. This is how we release stuck energy.

I was to go into my closet and pick up an item that wasn't working for me and notice the sensations from this item. I was supposed to pick up clothing but I did a recent massive clean out that I feel this doesn't apply at this time. I picked up a set of candles still in their packaging and sat with it for a moment. I asked myself why I still had these and if they had any use. I concluded that I will use them in my witchcraft. Their original purpose was for decorating a room, but since I left that house, the original use doesn't apply. I will repurpose them. I noticed my feelings around the object was a rush to get an answer as to what to do with them. I need patience. Stephanie mentions, "it's not about getting it done, it's about getting IT". Much to learn.

After watching the video, we are supposed to log this into our journal:
What I noticed this time I went into my closet (versus the last time I did it in Lesson 17) was ___________
Some of the shifts I'm noticing now from "slow dripping" awareness into my daily clearing practice are ___________


My answers are:
What I noticed this time I went into my closet (versus the last time I did it in Lesson 17) was I felt like it will take time but I'll get there.
Some of the shifts I'm noticing now from "slow dripping" awareness into my daily clearing practice are releasing lifts a massive weight off my shoulders and I feel lighter in my mind.
