I had an amazing call with a good friend of mine the other night. I hadn’t spoken to her in about two months. The last time we talked, she was battling depression, hating her job while also dealing with an on again, off again relationship which made her feel unworthy.

She was dissatisfied with many aspects of her life and could not figure out why things were not changing. She had been sending out dozens of resumes every week, and even though her credentials were impeccable, she was getting no response. My friend is a very spiritual person and was diligently keeping up the work with her vision statements, journaling, affirmations, etc. but nothing was helping.

Making Space For Miracles

When we spoke the other night, she was like a transformed person! I could not believe the lightness in her voice. She sounded completely unburdened by any strife and had an amazingly optimistic outlook. Every word that came out of her mouth was positive! I couldn’t help but ask, “what is your secret?” I was dying to find out what had happened to create such a tremendous life shift for her, so quickly.

She told me that it started out with a small thing; she decided to clean out her home office. There were boxes of old financial paperwork that she had avoided dealing with for years. So over the course of a few weekends, she started to shred it all, keeping only what was necessary. Since her life was in a holding pattern, this allowed her to keep busy and improve one area of her home.

The Energy Shift

As she shed this “old stuff,” she started feeling better about her life, even though her circumstances had not changed. She was curious about this effect, and so she decided to take this same approach with all of the belongings in her home. She started packing up old clothes and jewelry and donating them to the local thrift shop. The more she donated, the better she felt. Not only was she ridding her life of excess items, but others would benefit from her donations.

She said it felt transformative creating more “space,” in her life and that it had allowed her to breathe and focus on what she wanted for herself. Getting rid of all this stuff made her feel like her mind was less cluttered too. Quickly her energy became infused with the belief that she had already obtained what she desired. She started to feel as though she had already changed jobs, was making more money and was happy.

Keeping It Going

So she kept at it. She threw out old pictures, kitchen gadgets, furniture and items from past relationships, and jobs; anything with negative energy attached to it. One piece, in particular, was a gift given to her by a co-worker. Her current job represents “scarcity, ” and that is what the item made her think of whenever she used it. So, she gave it away, thus removing the energy of scarcity from her life and allowing more abundance to come to her.

She evaluated every item in this way.

  • Does it bring me joy?
  • Does it carry negative energy or emotions from where it came?
  • Could someone else benefit from it?
  • Do I really want or need it?

So Many Miracles

After one month of purging her home of hundreds of items and donating them to charity, she suddenly got three fantastic job opportunities, each with a host of great benefits and a lot more money. She accepted an offer from one of the companies and starts her fabulous new job in two weeks! In that same week, she met a man who was ideal for her, a real gentleman, allowing her to finally put to rest this old, dysfunctional relationship she had been holding onto.

By finally letting go of all this clutter and its energetic attachments, she removed the blocks she was holding, and made room for these incredible miracles to come into her life quickly!

A New Way of Life and Energy Work

She confided in me that now she understands what people mean when they say “energy work.” She was in the weeds learning it as she went.

Every morning now, she wakes up excited, thinking “what can I get rid of today to make even more space in my life?” She has found the key to her happiness and has opened a door allowing a flood of miracles and possibilities to flow into her life. I could not be more excited and happy for her; she truly deserves all these good things.

Minimizing For More Miracles

For the past two years, I have been slowly working on minimizing my life, but I had stalled out. After talking to her the other night and hearing about the incredible changes taking place in her life, just through her de-cluttering, I am re-energized and inspired to get back to it.

A Course in Miracles says “miracles are natural, if they don’t occur naturally, something has gone wrong.” More often than not, WE are the something that has gone wrong.

Free Yourself and Find Your Miracles

Most of us have way too much “stuff,” and a lot of this junk carries energetic weight. Some of my things needs fixing, and some of them, I feel guilty that I don’t use often enough. Some items I keep only because someone else gave them to me and I feel guilty about getting rid of them.

All of the items we own are attached to some emotion. By cleaning them out and removing the guilt, obligation or pain associated with them feels fabulously liberating. When we let go of these unhealthy attachments to the past or people, we free ourselves up for more positive outcomes and make more space for beautiful, fantastic miracles of our own.

If you are struggling to make change happen in your life, NOW is the time to make some “space” through de-cluttering and open up the door for your miracles to shine through!
