4 Reasons Why Decluttering Is a Spiritual Practice

Decluttering is not only a function of trends such as minimalism and swedish death cleaning. Decluttering is a way and an awareness of life. It's a holistic practice that serves and harmonises body, mind, and spirit. Getting rid of stuff, letting go of our clutter, begins with the realisation that things and objects have accumulated in our homes, many of them neither serving a practical purpose nor nourishing our heart and soul.
Once we realise that our personal space is a reflection of who we are, we can let go of the clutter reflecting outdated versions of our identity in order to make space for the new.
On this channel, I talk all things self-help, awakening, ego, energy, systemics, and more, to help you experience your occasional awakenings of all four kinds - to your ego, your conscious self, to the matrix and to the now.

I love that you pointed out the spiritual aspects of decluttering our homes. It's more than just creating the physical space in our homes, it's about detaching from the material world and redirecting our focus inward.

I am so ready to let go of more things in my life. I want to feel free.

This made me realize that I hold onto certain things hoping that I will feel like playing my guitar again"someday". I should give it to me son, who may use it more often than I do.

Oh and also realizing we may be thinking of an old version of ourselves, that may not come back for many reasons.

I can’t thank you enough for this video. I come from two hoarders so I’m working against long habits. As opposed to Swedish death or sparking joy approaches, your points are very refreshing. Very much what I needed, now.

There are *two* things I got from this video: 1. A confirmation, that it's easier to pick up some things that I want to keep instead of picking up some things I want to get rid of. alWhen I started decluttering, I wanted to sort out at least 3 things every day. I lost patience with this method, because it's stressful (especially when you try to do it just before you have to go to work!) and inefficient. Today I sorted out approximately 130 books in less than 2 hours, including cleaning them a bit from dust. In addition to your video I can say that it's helpful to think of how a book influenced you and to take it to a place where a younger person might find it and can learn from the same spirit. 2. The idea to make space for the person I'm going to become or that I already am. I love this idea, and I totally agree!

Knowing we need to make space can be the first important step to get going. Once we begin to make that space, we gain momentum so fast.

I found this a really helpful video- ive been declutering and finding it hard to let go of some things and your point about the conscious and often sub conscious meaning attached to items really has helped me. x

Taking out what you want first was very good food for thought. Don't know if I can pull it off but hmm....Thanks.

Good news is you don't need to 'pull it off'. You could make this a non-committal experiment. Take a drawer, a shelf, a closet, take out your favourites and simply observe and evaluate what's left. Sometimes the visual cue's all we need to start reevaluating our stuff. No need to make a final decision about anything right then and there. You are in charge.
