Storage Wars
While driving through the city, I keep noticing new self-storage facilities being built. While there are legitimate reasons to require extra storage, Storage Wars on A&E demonstrates the fact that often people later realize they really do not need the "stuff". In fact, they often simply stop paying the rent and leave the items, or do not bother to sell or reclaim the storage items if they no longer can pay the rent.
Similarily, Hoarders on A&E and Hoarding: Buried Alive on TLC explore the psychology behind the compulsion to accumulate nonessential items. The Mayo Clinic's definition of hoarding is the excessive collection of items, along with the inability to discard them. While we may not all hoard excessively, we may still be overwhelmed with clutter. Clutter is energy constipation ~ draining our energy, and adversely affecting our health, congesting our body and mind.
Like hoarding, constipation may reflect a person's inability to let go. According to Louise Hay in Healing Your Life, the colon represents our ability to let go, to release that which we no longer need. The body, being in the perfect rhythm and flow of life, needs a balance of intake, assimilation, and elimination. Our fears block the releasing of the old. Constipated people, even if they are not stingy, may not trust that there will ever be enough. They may be afraid to throw out clothes that have been in the closet for years because they might need them some day. They often hold on to old relationships that give them pain. They stay in stifling jobs, or never give themselves pleasure, because they must save for that rainy day. Learn to trust the process of life to always bring you what you need!
If constipation is left untreated, built up toxins in our colon may overload the liver and subsequently affect the kidneys causing diseases to appear.
Take a look at your living space and ask yourself "What am I holding on to?" and "why?" Then consider that all this is mirrored in your physical body. What would it feel like to release all that stuff? When you declutter, you allow space for your life to start flowing again. Spring is a great time to "spring clean" not only our homes, but also our bodies. A professional organizer, like Becky Ong, who's a local gal and owner of found decor company, can help you to streamline your calendar, your home, your workspace, so that your time and energy are flowing to the people and things you value. A holistic nutritionist can show you how to use the food you eat to cleanse and detoxify your body~to clear obstacles to health and allow the body systems to run more efficiently, leaving you feeling revitalized and energized.
