Spring Cleaning
As the last vestiges of winter depart, all of nature enters into a lively and animated state of renewal. In the springtime, earth's life energy is awakened from dormancy, and the cycle of life starts anew. We have the ability to sense this change taking place even before the seasonal flora around us blooms before our eyes. It is natural, therefore, that during spring many of us begin to feel the urge to clear away the clutter that has accumulated while we've enjoyed being sequestered in our winter nests. Now is the time to let the fresh breezes cleanse the energy in our homes.

Spring cleaning is traditionally a way to welcome a new season-one in which we open our doors and windows to let visitors and the sunshine in. It is also a way to remove stagnant energy from our homes in order to prepare our personal space for the positive, verdant energy of spring and summer. As you sweep away the dust and clutter that has blocked the flow of energy in your home, you inevitably sweep away some of the issues that may have been blocking you in your life. Intention is important, so before you begin cleaning, ask yourself what needs to be cleansed, what can be discarded, and how you can make your home a reflection of your best self. Then, gather your tools and supplies around you-vinegar mixed with water makes a wonderful natural cleanser, and putting everything you need in a bucket with a handle will make it easier to move your supplies around your home. Once you've begun spring cleaning, you may find that with each piece of clutter you discard and each item that you clean you begin feel increasingly energized. Divesting yourself of unnecessary possessions can help you regain clarity of mind while cleaning your windows can help you refocus your vision. As you clean, invite healing and vital energy into your home and heart.

When you've cleaned your home from top to bottom, create a floral arrangement with flowers from your garden, or buy a new plant at a farmer's market. You may notice that your home feels newer, and brighter and full of new fresh energy. You also feel reawakened, rejuvenated, and alive. By cleansing your home, you can harness the vivacity and vigor of spring.

Two thumbs up.

I am purging for 30-60 days. I might as well put this article to use as well.

cool Xtasyreds...

Also I found this on that tribeorisha site thanks to BachannalD.:

This is the beginning of a NEW YEAR -- from the ancient calender :-) Spring brings new LIFE and BLESSINGS --

I suggest you take out the old and bring in the new ... I like to clean my home with different herbs to freshen up ...

Anyone on the site would like to tell me how you bring in Spring with Cleaning and what things that you use.

1. I love to go to the Ocean and get some fresh Ocean water and freshen up the door after I have cleansed it with Ammonia - Rue - Rompe Saraguay. Also River Water is great too.

2. After I smudge the entire house -- ancestor altar, etc. I then bring in the SWEET ... because now I have chased out everyone with that Ammonia effect .. good and bad leave .. sooo you must invite your Ancestors/Egun/Spririts back in the abode with the wonderful sweet scents -- I usually come back with Sweet Grass - Lavendar - Sage Smudge Sticks.

I change the furniture around -- then get the corners .. and sometimes I roll a coconut on the floor and break it outside.

Put pretty flowers in all of the vases and sit back and enjoy your knew feeling in your house.

Oyawole

I did this last night not even reading this... But I changed the furniture around, working on my altar for my meditations and using lavendar, sweet honeysuckle, frank., and lotus oils around my house... Blessings everyone!
