On Saturday, November 2nd, from 10-5, I will be running a day long workshop teaching the ten principles of spiritual decluttering so you can declutter your home and your heart in time for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. 

Breathing Room Workshop: What you'll learn and what you'll walk away with

This is the Principle #1 of "The Ten Principles of Spiritual Decluttering" described in my upcoming book, "Breathing Room: Open Your Heart By Decluttering Your Home (due out in April 2014 from Beyond Words/Atria). I'll also be teaching these principles at my upcoming workshop on November 2, 2013 in Asheville, NC. 

1st Principle of Spiritual Decluttering: Don’t Attack. Clear with Compassion.

The second principle of "The Ten Principles Spiritual Decluttering" is "Out with Consuming Emotions. In with Sustainable Emotions". Clutter drains us of our vital energy. That is because the energy that clutter generates consumes our vitality. You can learn more about spiritual deluttering by visiting htttp://facebook.com/getbreathingroom

Declutter for the Holidays: Make room for blessings and abundance

The 3rd Principle of Spiritual Decluttering is "Letting go with grace and gratitude". Life is a practice of letting go. Will you cling and cause yourself to suffer or will you let go with an open hand and heart -- and receive the new blessings that are waiting to arrive in your life. 

3rd Principle of Spiritual Decluttering: Letting Go with Grace and Gratitude

The fourth principle of Spiritual Decluttering is "Accept where you are." We cannot begin the profound spiritual work of decluttering until we stand where we are and accept it as our starting place. Begin with acceptance. Begin with compassion. This is where all noble journeys begin. And that includes the journey of decluttering. 

4th Principle of Spiritual Decluttering: Accept Where You Are

The 5th Principle of Spiritual Decluttering is "Just Say No to Clutter Enablers and Clutter Dumpers". Whether we are talking about home clutter or heart clutter, we need to honor the sacred nature of both home and heart and be able to say "no' when well-meaning people drop their baggage at the doorways of our home and our hearts.
