Your Spacious Self: Clear the Clutter and Discover Who You Are by Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Description

It's a jungle…in here! Most of us do too much, or have more possessions than we need. Or both. Our lives are caught in a swirl of attachments, overwhelm, and endless mechanical “doing.” As humans it is our nature to experience clarity and focus all the time. The problem is we lose focus, get off balance, and forget how.

With inspiring lessons, humorous stories, and nourishing practices in slowing down, simplifying, and self-care, Your Spacious Self shows you how to clear your home, quiet the mind, and restore your spirit, in ways that feel good and last a lifetime.

Our clutter, writes Vogt, a longtime space clearing expert, “becomes like another member of the family that we feed, house, and lug around.” She shows us that it's not our stuff, but the holding on to it that creates a force field of “stuck-ness” that clouds our perceptions and paralyzes our lives. Clutter is not just the junk spilling out of the closet. It is any thing or thought that prevents us from experiencing who we truly are. Clearing is not a tedious exercise of throwing away, but a gentle journey of letting go – one small step, drawer, or moment at a time.

Included are daily tips and meditations, a weekly worksheet, guidelines for starting and maintaining a clearing support group – perfect for book groups and support groups.
