Lesson 254: When You Apply the Idea of Oneness...

We begin to shift our focus and how we live our life when we accept the idea of Oneness. We start to value our being, rather than our having. Today we are to think about what we own and think we need to have. Are you really sure you need to have all these things in your life?

I know I have tried to minimise my materialism in that I don’t buy clothes, jewellery, make-up and shoes etc. I realised that all those “things” are not going to make me happy. I try to spend my money on things that enrich my life. The next big thing I am putting money towards is renting a creative space out so I can paint with my bestie. We want to explore our creativity and one day place paintings in our own show. It’s something that I hope enriches our lives but maybe it will touch another person’s life. I am trying to use my money towards the tools that help build my life which may just inspire others.

I still have a long way to decluttering my life. I feel like every time I do it, I think it’s enough but I could do so much more. I think I have a problem with letting go of some things that hold memory. I think it will go in time. I know that there is more to life than all the material things. I personally just want to do more for the world in my own way. The idea of Oneness allows me to believe in that more every day. I think what we need more in our lives is love, kindness, compassion, strength, memory and experience. If we can spread this around, then we realise that material things are not worth much. It’s not like we can take the physical items to the next life. I’d like to think we can bring all those other qualities with us.

Day 254 - A Year to Clear - Altars Are Everywhere

Lesson 254: Altars Are Everywhere

Altars can be found everywhere and aren’t limited to religion. When you place your photo frames all in a certain way. When you arrange your flowers on a mantle. When you arrange your perfume bottles in a sequence. Or maybe you might even keep all your travel souvenirs on a shelf. These are all altars. Start to notice your altars today and see if any need to be cleared or rejuvenated. What is something you can move around today?

My don’t want to move any of my altars as I only recently placed them in my house the way they are for a reason. I have a crystal altar where I burn incense on and sometimes send well wishes from. I have my witches altar for practising my ritual and prayers. I have my book cases set up in a way that there are cushions for reading in between like a sanctuary in my hallway. My dressing table even has everything arranged by make-up type and perfume. I like how everything has been set up because I worked hard to get them this way. I do move things around when I need to because I don’t want stagnant energy lingering. For some reason my altars are more tidy than how I keep my house. Haha! Maybe because I appreciate them more because of the effort I put in.

What are your altars like?
