There are several core faculties that make up your life- Peace, Power, Prosperity, Joy and Love.

To live a life that’s full and prosperous you have to start by cleaning out your consciousness. Your consciousness is the window to your world. The purpose of your life is not to clean up other people’s windows, only your own.

Consciousness creates many volumes of shoulds and ought-to’s to filter your life through; but one thing is clear, if living doesn’t seem to be going your way, then maybe it’s not supposed to. Learn to walk in trust.

Don’t affix your attention to a passing parade…

Back up, become the witness (an objective, perspective consciousness) to the passing parades of life. If you do not become affixed to this passing, ever changing parade, then you can release the drama of living.

Observe the activities in your life (clean up your windows). This cleansing occurs in layers.

First, there are the dense, emotional reactions. “They” are not responsible for your feelings. This victimization role leads you on a ‘blame/shame’ pattern of living and it is an opportunity for you to recognize that your windows are dirty and in need of a cleaning.

On a deeper, subtler level you face the cleansing of yourself as the being that you have created- your opinions, concepts, ideas and perspectives.

Let go of your opinions and the concepts of what you are. Release yourself, you are spirit, not ego. Learn to release your grip on life and become clear.

Remember your core faculties of peace, power, prosperity, joy and love. These are the substances from which you are made.

Thank God for the difficult people in your life, these are your saviors and your liberators.

When you are faced with the challenges of walking through life facing the difficult people and situations within it, try the following steps to clean up your windows:

1. You are not a victim- Take responsibility. This is empowering. Doing so means you no longer depend on others to make you happy, or unhappy. Examine the toxic emotion, habit, craving or relationship you have to take responsibility for at this moment. “Starting today, I am going to take complete responsibility for my feelings or resentments against _______ ”
(Fill in the blank for yourself.)

2. Back up and become the observer- Witness your feelings. Point your attention towards the toxic emotion and increase your awareness by realizing where in the body you feel your discomfort. Is it in your stomach, your heart, throat or neck? Remove the mental chatter by focusing on the physical sensations. Journal what you felt and where you felt it. Empower your observing witness, not the negative emotions.

3. Label your feelings- Name the sensations going through your body. Is it fear? ..hostility? ..shame? ..guilt? ..jealousy? ..or anger?

4. Back off from the passing parade- Express the feelings. This is the most important journaling step. Write down how it makes you feel. Write it from the other person’s perspective. Write it from a third person’s perspective as if you are a journalist. Finally, write down how you feel when you are done with all three perspectives. This is your opportunity to clean up your windows.

5. Share your feelings- Share what you wrote, or what you are comfortable sharing. This further diffuses the negative emotions.

6. Release- Let go through ritual. Try to emit your emotions into an object (a rock, cloth or other symbolic item) and throw the object away. Release it, burn it, toss it in the ocean…

7. Celebrate- Share how you plan on celebrating your newfound freedom from the negative toxic emotions. Buy some flowers or candles for your home and bring in a rebirth.

8. Cleanse your environment- What in your home needs de cluttering, renewal or release? Clean up a neglected are of your home, give away what you do not need, donate time, money or both to a god cause, help a friend or family member, give attention to someone who needs a caring listen, throw ourt the junk food and replace it with nourishing natural foods for your body.

Share your plans with the important people in your life:

For instance, “My intent is to clean up my home every Saturday morning, to gather what I no longer use and donate it to those that can, and to see this as a way of giving thanks for my abundance in life.”
