A human being is a part of a whole, called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
~Albert Einstein

In light of July 4th, I was thinking of what to post that would make sense. Then I looked around my room. Clutter. Books piled high on the floor. Clean laundry to put away. Winter clothes folded and placed in bins stacked one upon the other. Clutter is a definite symptom of my ongoing insomnia; and why can’t I make a more concerted effort to get my act together?
Negative energy seeks dark and unorganized spaces within your home. It can keep the light from coming in to your sacred space. There’s truth in the saying Cleanliness is next to Godliness. If Godliness is, in essence, the Light of Being then cleanliness maintains the Light in one’s life.
If there is excessive clutter in drawers, closets, on top of your home gym, washing machine, garage, under the bed, dishes in the sink etc. it needs to go. Negative energy will make you feel confused, out of sorts, and depressed – GET RID OF IT! Clutter sucks you in – it makes you apathetic, unmotivated – it’s not unlike smoking pot. You just stare at the clutter and don’t really see it. You brush it aside to get an outfit to wear in the morning, or wash one bowl and spoon because you need to make a meal.
Break free! Celebrate your FREEDOM from clutter.
My Clutter ‘Tis of Thee – Sweet Light of Liberty – Of Thee I Sing.

Infusing Water with Quartz Crystal Point
From time to time I like to reinforce a particular affirmation by taking it one step further than just writing it down on a piece of paper 18 times.
I have certain little crystal points I like to keep for programming. To program a crystal is easy, here’s how:
Find a small clear crystal point.
Smudge the crystal.
Hold the crystal in your left hand and visualize clear intentions as to the purpose of your affirmation.
Examples to get you started:
I will eat healthy foods to benefit my body and mind.
I will quit smoking and feel the benefits of good health.
I have a purpose for my life and will fulfill my spiritual destiny.
I will be a more compassionate person.
I attract success to me now.
I deserve love and respect.
Or you can use one word affirmations:
Love.
Respect.
Kindness.
Clarity.
Now place the crystal point in your water pitcher. Every time you use this water to drink, make tea or cof-fay you are infusing your body with the clear message of your intentions.
Try it. Let me know how subtle positive changes occur for you.
