We've been told that everything is vibration but what does that really mean? Simply put, vibration is reverberation, the variance between one thing and another. It's energy. It is the relationship between something and something else.
We know it easily with sound. When Paul, my mechanic, hears the purr of my 1965 Chevy pickup and smiles, I know he's tuned her just right. It's a little harder to grasp when talking about things like a chair or sofa. But I bet you can feel it, even if you can't name it or know how it works exactly. The thing is, we all experience vibration in the place we call home. This vibration is what creates harmony or discord. Objects have energy and they resonate with us or they don't. It's part of what goes into making up your particular style, the one that is very personal to you. Here are some principles to help you create a living space that you actually want to live in.
1. Clean and Organize. Feng Shui master Marie Diamond makes this step 1 in her Five Steps to Improve the Flow of Energy. Whether you are a fan of Feng Shui or not, the principle of clean and organize still holds. Think about Spring Cleaning and why it's such a tradition. The vibration of clean and organized makes us feel better. We vibrate at a higher frequency when we feel order. So here are some suggestions about how to do the initial process in a very short amount of time. This is not, I repeat, NOT the final product, only one that will get you started quickly.
STEP 1: If you have clutter, box it up and put it in a closet, garage, attic or basement. You will not leave it there indefinitely. This is a specific technique designed to get those who need order in their lives immediately. If you leave clutter hidden it will cause energy leaks because even if you think you can forget about it, you can't. Your attention will not get a rest until you take care of what is hidden.
STEP 2: Once the clutter is removed, dust all surfaces and vacuum the floors.
STEP 3: When your space is clean and orderly, remove one box at a time from its hiding place and sort, purge and find a home for each object, keeping only things that resonate with you.
2. Determine Your Style. Now that things are clean, go back through your home and look at what is there. Do you still love the things you have around you? Are they useful or serving a purpose, even if it's only once a year? I have a Thanksgiving turkey plate my aunt gave me over 25 years ago and it's not particularly beautiful but I use it every year during the holiday season and store it away out of sight at other times. Sometimes we buy things we love but after many years we don't love them or even see them anymore. Those are the things that are vibrating at a different frequency than you are.
STEP 1: To determine your style, make conscious choices about what you live with. Each object is a "yes" or "no". You decide.
3. Remove What Isn't You. Some of us have inherited items that belonged to people we loved and loved deeply. We keep these items and try to find a space in our home because we are attached to that person or a memory of that person. Sometimes it's an event or special time from our childhood. If you are no longer seeing these items because they have lost energy for you, if they simply collect dust, if they are actually draining your energy to have them around by causing you to wish they were somewhere else, if you are keeping them solely because you would feel guilty letting them go, then staying attached to the object is not a vibrational match for you.
STEP 1: The object, person it is associated with, or the event or special time in your life are all yours to keep. Breathe them in. Take a few minutes to remember and appreciate each one.
STEP 2: Removing the object that no longer holds pleasure or is used. This is a way to free your energy and allow yourself to come fully into your own vibration, to be more of who you are.
STEP 3: This is optional, but some of my clients find it helpful. Take a picture of the item you are releasing and put it with your other photos and memories. It is sometimes soothing to be able to look at a picture of something even though you no longer want to own it.
These principles apply whether you want to be more productive, creative, happier, have an easier life at home or work. Finding your vibrational match is happening consciously or not in every moment of your day. Making conscious choices to surround yourself with objects that are pleasing will increase your energy, and bring a new freedom to your life. It's Spring now but if it isn't when you read this just pretend it is. Start with principle 1, clean and organize. Find out just how much harmony you can create in your life and your space.
