Spring has started and with it an expectation of renewal, manifestation and celebration. Now is the best time to do some spring cleaning to help strengthen our personal energy as well as the energy of our home and environment.

A good way to start is by de-cluttering your whole space, especially main spaces.

– Main entrance.  Now that the weather is warming up, clean up any dead plants, grasses and debris.  Does the area feel welcoming? Are the outdoor lights working? Is the foyer clear to allow strong CHI to enter our space?

– Bedrooms and bathrooms. They are one of the areas that have a great effect on our health. Are the areas under the bed clear? Clean up drawers and closets at this time to allow greater flow of new energy and enhance relationships or welcome new ones.

– Kitchen. This is another area that greatly affects our health. Clean up the pantry, fridge and freezer. Grow fresh herbs, they are a symbol of health, grounding and renewal.

– Main doors and windows.  They are the eyes through which we see our outer environment. Time to get the dust off and see clearly! Trimming and pruning the plants outside as the weather warms up will wake them up. Marvel at the beautiful and tender buds coming off the trees and the daffodils, tulips and other bulbs popping off the ground. Witnessing the transformation and daily growth is an amazing experience.

Last but not least, renew the energy of your home and environment with incense. This is the best time to get rid of the low and sluggish energy of our long winter. Clarify and purify the yin energy of your home. Welcome renewal and fresh beginnings.

Happy Spring Cleaning!
