November 15 ~ Healing

Traditionally, we are within the last month of Spring here in Australia.  Today's weather was not Spring ~ it was Summer and it was HOT!  The cement of our driveway sizzled under my feet as I danced across it to get to the letterbox only to find that the grass was just as hot and sharp!

But to hold onto the idea of Spring and what that season means, today's weather actually does contribute to the idea. How?  Spring has a well-worn phrase : spring-cleaning.  It's the opportunity to sort through the junk of our lives ~ not only the physical dust, grime and clutter but also the thoughts and behaviours that no longer serve any helpful purpose!

When the weather is hot like this, we all retreat to our havens ~ our homes.  Crank up the air-conditioning, drink lots of water or dip into the pool.  The air circulates energy through our homes, the water detoxifies our bodies and swimming provides an overall cleansing. Perfect!

After broadcasting on Reflect Radio today and seeing clients this afternoon, I used the heat as an 'excuse' to clean up some email clutter and to also clear my desk of paperwork.  I feel that may be an ongoing task!

How's your Spring-cleaning today?

Namaste
