Have you ever thought about spiritually cleaning out your closet? cleaning your house?<\/p>\n

I got up early this morning because I wanted a few minutes to clean out a closet.\u00a0 Yesterday I promised a friend that I would share some gently used items for her fund raiser.<\/p>\n

When I make a promise like that, it’s best that I set a few minutes aside and then work like crazy to get rid of things as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Working in a fury, I stuffed items in a bag so quickly that I couldn’t overthink the situation.\u00a0 I also knew that I didn’t have time to put things back.<\/p>\n

I just grabbed:\u00a0 a white blouse I hadn’t worn in years, a pair of slacks that were never comfortable, 3 T-shirts I was never going to wear again.\u00a0 A new winter coat.<\/p>\n

On and on it went.\u00a0 I didn’t give myself time to think I just might, in a pinch, wear one of these items again.\u00a0 I even threw in a pot plant that was still pretty but quickly growing beyond my skill level.<\/p>\n

As I stuffed these things in the car, with the plant perched on top of the clothes, I thought about maybe I should have done something like this with some of my other spiritual baggage.<\/p>\n

Specifically, I thought of off those regrets I’ve been reliving lately.<\/p>\n

We all carry it.\u00a0 Baggage.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I feel like I would like to just leave it all behind me as I go through life:\u00a0 Grudges, resentments, painful memories, regrets.<\/p>\n

I’ve been carrying all this baggage around with me for decades and decades.\u00a0 Then, a young woman reminded me that we all have baggage.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I just want to leave it all behind.<\/p>\n

Other times, getting to a place where I can let go is difficult.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing she taught me:\u00a0 forgiveness is a large part of the journey.\u00a0 Leaving all these parcels and bags and boxes of regret is hard.<\/p>\n

But, so was gathering all the experiences that became painful memories.<\/p>\n

I’m hanging onto all this negativity.\u00a0 It’s making extra weight which I carry around all day, every day,\u00a0 \u00a0I tried to think of what might be a good way to do this so I went to my roots.<\/p>\n

What is going to work?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eureka!\u00a0 Forgiveness will be important here.<\/p>\n

I went to my roots for success!\u00a0 I got out my asphidity bag!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I’m working on healing an issue, I write a description on a small paper and put it in my asphidity bag.\u00a0 I wear it around my neck to remind me that I’m healing.<\/p>\n

Freedom is a goal!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I have my healing goals in my asphidity bag, I know it’s time to schedule extra weekly Reiki therapy\"\"<\/a> and Reflexology sessions.<\/p>\n
