When you take care of the
“clutter” on the inside,
the clutter on the outside
takes care of itself. 

Your Spacious Self was born out of a need to tell a story, process a journey, and outline one of the simplest pathways to freedom. It is based on a simple truth: When we tend our homes in small ways, we take care of ourselves. When we take care of ourselves, we bring the world back into balance. When we restore balance, everybody wins!

Your Spacious Self is not your ordinary how-to guide. Here’s what you’ll experience that is different…

• Clutter is defined more broadly: Clutter is not just the stuff you see spilling out of the closet. It is any thing, or thought, that prevents you from experiencing your true nature. This book identifies the myriad ways we humans hold on and create imbalance in our lives.
• Clutter is not the problem, it is the holding on to it that creates a force-field of stuckness that clouds your perceptions and paralyzes your life. It is not the clutter but your relationship to it that needs your attention and compassion.
• Clearing is not linear: Clearing in this book in not a finite task that you do when you have the time and energy, but an ongoing––daily––practice that promotes well-being and letting go. It is a journey that balances “doing” with a mindful “non-doing”––a receptive approach that invites you to slow-down, observe, allow, listen, trust, surrender.
• Clearing side-effects are normal: Feeling “overwhelmed,” “stuck,” “confused,” or “congested,” when clearing out a bookcase, for example, is a normal and welcome by-product of the journey. It is what happens naturally when you release stuck energy. Allowing these “weather patterns” to arise without fixing, changing, or personalizing them, is the key to lasting change.
• Talking about clearing is clearing: Your Spacious Self book is unique because it gives you the option and the tools to set up and maintain you own guided six-week support group. The “Clearing Circle” includes sample listening guidelines, steps for how to form a group, and discussion topics that are easy to modify to suit any group need or size.
• Clearing never ends; it just gets deeper, juicier, and more fun: Written by a gifted teacher who knows how to engage and inspire her audience, Your SpaciousSelf has expanded to include an Online Course with audio meditations, a cutting-edge online journal, and exercises designed deepen your clearing experience even more! Your Spacious Self Online Course is the perfect companion to the book!

Radical in its message and elegant in its simplicity,
Your Spacious Self offers a new model of clearing that combines
the ancient wisdom of space clearing with the modern practicality of
clutter clearing. It teaches that clearing is not just something you do,
but also a powerful way to be.
