Few years back, I used to visit an organization where I met a lady. She would often fall sick and take an off. She would rarely talk to anyone. One day, when I had some free time, I asked her if she would like to share something. She looked at me and something inside her made her talk. She started crying and told me that she had a miscarriage one year back and since then she is having problems with her husband. She might even get divorced and he kind of abuses her for that miscarriage. I asked her that what is more important, a sad miscarriage or planning for a new one. It took her sometime to release the pain of old one and they started planning for next one. After 1.5 year, she called up and shared that she was blessed with a baby boy. That day she had decluttered her mind about past. When she created a space for new one, immediately she was better and was blessed.
One couple used to fight everyday and the point was he did not give her enough time. The gentleman said that he did not feel like entering his own home He feels sad when he enters there. Infact as per him, everyone was feeling very sad at home. When I went to their home, I saw lots of expensive things and over occupied home. Where ever I looked, I found one thing or other. There were expensive curtains which were never opened. She never opened her windows saying it would bring dust on the expensive things. Even I started feeling pressure on my head. I asked her, can she pack them up, open the curtains, let the sunlight and fresh air come in, light some insentience candles, put in some flowers etc for few days and the see the change. She followed and after one month, they both looked different. They had more light on their faces, their children looked happier and she felt that they were feeling healthier too.
So what do we have to do today?
1. Leave behind the thoughts which are hurting you, holding you back and taking unnecessary space inside you.
2. Forgive the people and bless them.
3. Give away what is not required at home. Create a space for air to move, for sunlight to spread.
4. Have space for new.
Have a happy, healthy and abundant life.
