After your psychedelic journey, you may become more aware of how your environment is a manifestation of your mindset, and how your surroundings affect your energy. As your mind becomes lighter, brighter, and more joyous, you will naturally want your space to mirror these same qualities. When you are mindful about taking care of your home or office, the benefits transfer into your everyday life. As the saying goes, “cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
Committing to tidying up your environment is the first step. From there, you can visualize the life you want and what you need to get there. What seems to be getting in the way or blocking the flow of energy? What thoughts, objects, or relationships seem draining or heavy? If you are unclear of your direction in life, are you surrounded by objects and dust that cloud your vision? Living in a cluttered space can impede your ability to develop the clarity of thought necessary for deep reflection and personal growth.
As you progress on your spiritual path, you may opt to create more space by letting go of old possessions. As you recognize the value of open space, you may find yourself resonating less with certain material objects. Life seems to flow more easily when you release what you no longer need.
You may want your indoor space to be an extension of your favorite outdoor environments. You might take steps to maximize natural light and airflow. You can begin to incorporate some natural elements into your indoor spaces, such as your favorite flowers and plants. In addition to increasing oxygen flow, these items can remind you to connect and be grounded in nature. Their stillness and aliveness can help balance the destabilizing energies of advanced technology.
Your environment can support new rituals and routines after your journey. You may dedicate a certain space — even a corner — to your meditation cushion and practice. You may clear a shelf or desk to make room for an altar. There are many ways that you can modify your environment so it reflects and helps you remember your priorities.
When organizing your space, you may be inspired by professional organizers such as Kondo Mari.
