2. Release with Gratitude: As you let go of an object, express gratitude for its presence in your life. Gratitude shifts the energy of release from loss to love. Donating or recycling from this place of appreciation blesses both you and the next person who will receive it. Every object had a purpose in your life at one time. If that time has ended, release the object with love and thanks.

3. Refresh the Energy: After clearing, open your windows and allow fresh air to circulate. Light a candle or diffuse essential oils such as orange or lemongrass to raise the vibration.

You might even say a simple blessing, such as“ May this space be filled with peace, joy, and divine light.” As you move through this process, your home will begin to feel lighter, and so will you.

As you are clearing your spaces, there are some additional things that you can consider that will supporting shifting and uplifting of the energy. You may play uplifting music; or invite nature inside with some fresh flowers or green, upward growing plants.

Remember that each intentional act that you bring into the process supports the clearing, releasing, and inviting in of new energy. Support your home as it supports you.

Once the clutter is cleared, notice how the spaces feel. Do they feel and look lighter? When you open space for new opportunities, you send messages to the universe that you are ready to receive. Think of the new year as a blank canvas.
