Q & A: does THIS happen when you start de-cluttering?

Q: “i have a ‘TMI’ question. i’ve been cleaning and clearing up a storm. i have vacuumed places that haven’t been vacuumed in months (possibly longer). i am burning white sage and ringing bells in corners. and i have also been pooping a lot more, though my diet hasn’t changed. i’m not complaining, but i’m curious: have you or your clients experienced this? i’ve heard about this happening, but i’m pretty amazed and impressed to experience it first hand. i am also super curious if there is a link to decluttering. i feel completely cleaned from the inside-out.”

A: hahaha! so, the simplest answer is YES. our living space is a metaphor for our lives, including our bodies. so, when we start purging + cleaning + releasing, it’s VERY common to experience the same with our bodies. also, when our house sits still with things + dust + little movement, the energy becomes very YIN. too much YIN, and nothing happens. and this is why stagnant spaces can be considered unhealthy. however, when we start lighting sage + vacuuming + cleaning, we YANG/”yank” up the energy — and we get energy moving in all directions again. and when energy moves, it has its own way of helping us release what is no longer necessary, too. so, your *detox* is part of the process, babe! xo
