porches with a note saying, “I thought you might like this—but feel free to discard it or donate it if you don’t.” Now do a bit of journaling, noticing any truths that may be arising from this exercise. Write down any insights you have as to what purpose these items fulfilled when you acquired them. Perhaps they did nothing more than make you feel better at the time. Notice if you are afraid to release the items because you might need them in the future or because you feel you may be dishonoring someone in your past (or present) if you don’t hang on to them. Be grateful to the items for their service, whatever it may have been. As soon as these items are out of your house you will feel a definite release of energy that is now free to return to you in the form of unfulfilled potential, perhaps in the form of an invitation, an opportunity, a new contact, or some other unexpected resource. Acknowledging your thoughts about the items releases the internal energy that is now free to return in the form of truths that relate to what you need in the present moment. The new internal energy comes in the form of feeling and of knowing, thus an ability to discern what objects/ opportunities to allow anew into your life. One final note in regard to that fourth pile, the universe does not discriminate. Releasing is releasing. I find many people are “attached” to wanting to help specific people out. However, there is something to be said for attending to your own life first. If it takes double the time contemplating to whom items should go, not to mention having to deliver them, I would suggest it is best to just let them go and trust the universe will put these items in front of someone who will be most served by them. The most important thing is that you get your reallocation of energy back to you ASAP. This way you will be able to really make a difference in the lives of others because you will be living more aligned with your purpose. Everything needed to fulfill your purpose (and this is true for everyone) is available in the universe and will come to you if your energy is freed up enough for it to be able to do so. eydismedia.com 101
