I have recently emerged from months of poor health and healing. My life was a rotating door of aches and pains punctuated with headaches that waxed and waned each and every day. Things seemed to feel better for a few hours after sleeping...lots and lots of sleeping. I slept 11, sometimes 12, hours a day. Nonetheless, by day's end I felt completely and utterly exhausted.
None of my healers could find anything wrong. Relieved but still concerned, I contacted a gifted shaman that was visiting the area for a few days and immediately arranged for a healing. The healing was intense and incredibly powerful. After the healing, however, I was more tired and my headaches were more intense. Then one day while I was driving I became so suddenly exhausted that I could barely get off the freeway.
During this time, I contacted my beloved spiritual intuitive for my quarterly reading. As always, she had the explanation. I am experiencing something akin to a "spiritual house cleaning". As part of this "house cleaning", my body is detoxifying itself of built up emotional, physical, and mental toxins. My job is to help my body get rid of this garbage gently.
I examined my diet and began to eliminate garbage that had crept in over the years. First coffee...then meat...then dairy. I started to feel better. I cut out sugar and felt even better. As my energy levels returned, I began to cook healing foods for each meal. My regular healer put me on special supplements that made me feel better yet.
I had enough energy to resume my yoga practice and take walks again.
With my new found energy I turned my attention to my surroundings. I looked around my house and started purging it of clutter, bags and bags of clutter. I cleaned it top to bottom, organized it inside and out.
I began to feel better than I had in years--more relaxed, more harmonious...I started to meditate again.
The world is going through tremendous change right now and, not surprisingly, the people within this world are, too. I am continuing to do everything in my power to help my body, mind, and spirit cope with the sweeping changes going on in my life and on this planet. I look forward to sharing more of my experiences and discoveries as this journey of spiritual house cleaning unfolds.
Peace,
Annie
I am an artist. I have learned that my creative energy is easily blocked by mental, spiritual and physical "clutter". Kudos to you for purging your body, your surroundings and your spirit. You will be in a much better place within your self and have much more energy to contribute to your community and your planet.

I loved spiritual house cleaning. I know many people going through huge change in energy levels. I'm not sure if they see the connection with the mental and spiritual side of health issues. Nor how we are say a microcosm of the world around us. Thank you for sharing your story.
