Lesson 152: Take Your Time

If we take our time in clearing efforts, it creates a sense of ease and fluidity. It doesn’t become such a chore and a natural flow falls into place. This can take time or practise or you might feel this instantly.

I know when I decide to do a big clean, I’m just focused on the one task before I move onto the next. Even if the first task takes longer than normal, I’m always going at my own pace and not in a rush. I find I am a lot calmer this way and keep telling myself to get it done in my own time.

I find that I don’t only apply this to clearing efforts but simple tasks like walking to work every day. I don’t rush myself, take my time and am aware of my surroundings. This came about when I visited a councillor to manage my anxiety and the advice given was to be more in the moment. If you aren’t rushing, then you aren’t adding any more pressure or stress on yourself to get where ever you need to be on time. Sometimes I think it’s just more careful planning that allows more fluidity.

What ways have you brought about ease in your clearing efforts or every day life?

Lesson 112: Lesson 112: Check In WEEK 16 - Letting Go, Letting Flow

The week opened my eyes to how fluid any situation can be. It’s really simple when you’re observing other people – it’s like clockwork and routine. This is what this course is all about. Gaining those fluid skills to apply to clearing. It’s about the repetition in each task we do towards clearing that it becomes an extension of us and therefore becomes an easy, unforced task. It should be a natural flow that leads to our spaciousness. I realise that it’s me that can overcomplicate the clearing. I’m always reminding myself, it’s not a race, just do each part bit by bit and I will get the space that I desire. Slow and steady is good for me.

Lesson 111: Throw Your Dreams Into Space

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”

— Anaïs Nin

Today is about thinking of your hopes and dreams and releasing them into the Universe, the wind, to God (if you believe) or Gods & Goddesses, to the Earth… What we are doing is planting the seeds for growth. Whatever we desire, do it with intention, in hopes that it will manifest. We need to let go with fluidity as we do this. We need to ask for new signs as we grow and in ways we can recognise.

I want to have the focus to learn my light path and grow. I want to do this to help others. I think there was a sign where I was doing a workshop. We were discussing spell work in this workshop and that the Gods don’t know the difference in what coloured candle you use, and in the next room a copper vase flew off the shelf onto the floor. It was random, but it was a sign to me to keep at it… Well I took it as a sign. Weird stuff happens in that shop all the time, but never when I’m around, until now! I think my message was to keep on the path that I am on and the work I’m doing will expand in time. My growth comes in the light work I want to do and the witchcraft that will connect me with others. My growth comes in my faith that I’ve got a job to do and I have to keep working on it, in order to help others.

Lesson 110: Show Up

“Be loose.
Be liquid.
Be yourself.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today is about dancing to a song, but with purpose. It can be in the confines of your home or if you’re game enough, do it outside. I sometimes dance when I’m walking to and from work without even realising. It’s fun and funny at the same time. Usually I sit and dance in my chair at work as I have background music on. So the task is to dance to one of your favourite songs and release something with your movements. Whether you have an object in mind, a thought or issue, just let it go through your dancing.

If I’m dancing at home, I’m usually just releasing the stresses and worries of the day. It’s so freeing and I feel better for it. Something always tells me that it’s going to be okay when I’m just flowing to the music. I put on Halsey’s Colors (the Australian in me wants to correct that spelling but I can’t!), I’m thinking about my busy weekend at a Sci fi Con and how tired I’m going to be. What I release is this worry and I’m filling my head with the thoughts of how much fun I will have, to enjoy myself, not judge others and go with the flow. I want to be amped up with energy and I can feed off all the excitement when I’m there.

What did you release today?

Day 109 - A Year to Clear - Become More Fluid

Lesson 109: Become More Fluid

Today is all about observation. We all should take a moment to watch someone or something move with fluidity. It can be anything from the cars passing by, the trees moving in the wind, people working on a construction site. We should come to realisation that they all move with ease. This is where we learn – from the simplest of activities.

I was watching the people prepare my food and drink at a café, as well as watching people order their food and drink, then wait. It’s very much like clockwork. Without thought, I see a lady put my food on a rotating griller and then multi tasks onto the next order. The person man my hot chocolate, knew my order before I even finished my sentence, goes to make other coffees in line before mine, whilst having conversation with other customers. I see another girl, not the original girl continues preparing my order. Everything is fluid and no one stops but they are not busy at the same time. It’s natural and done without too much thought. Even those people waiting on their order – order, pay, wait, daydream possibly, pick up order and move on.

What I learn that is that all our actions can be fluid if we aren’t overthinking it. It can become a natural movement or occurrence if we aren’t processing on it for too long. I think with any task we set ourselves, as long as we have an initial plan, we should just go with it and not ponder on it after initial thought. This is achievable for anyone.
