Post-blessing cleanout & living in light

The past few weeks have gone by in a blur. I’ve been going through what I call “Post-Blessing Cleanout.” Whenever you shift your vibration suddenly and dramatically, a lot falls away. Things need to be elevated, organized, cleaned, or released. As my vibration changes, the things around me must change to match.

Predictably, after my yearly blessing from Amma, I went into self-cleaning mode. Rats drowned in my pool, turning it green and requiring a costly cleanout. I discovered science experiments in mason jars at the back of the fridge (ew!). My disposal broke and had to be replaced, but thankfully I avoided what could have been—literally—a red-hot mess.

A few days before the disposal’s demise, I started noticing all the fire equipment in my home. Bottles of spray foam. A fire blanket I’d forgotten. Instead of falling into fear, I prayed and programmed my life for peace. I felt the shift.

In fact, I’ve adopted a new mantra this year: “I know what I need to know before I need to know it.”

Two days later, my disposal started smelling like burnt rubber. I turned it off immediately, cleared everything from under the sink, and discovered it was baking hot. I unplugged it, cooled it with wet towels, and thanked heaven for knowing what I needed to know before I needed to know it.

The cleanout continued: scrubbing appliances with toothbrushes, polishing floors, deep-cleaning carpets, reorganizing everything. My steam cleaner broke, and I persisted with a four-inch attachment! I used to wonder what was “wrong” with me when these cleaning frenzies struck. Now I know—it means I’m changing, growing, elevating my vibe, and life is catching up.

Post-blessing, I have little tolerance for drama. If I feel the world’s heaviness, I recalibrate immediately. If a computer program glitches, I shut it down and walk away. If a phishing email comes in, I report it and move on. If something in the house won’t work, I let it go. And when I hear news that would once have disturbed me, I breathe, tune into Divine love, and refocus on gratitude.

On the flip side, I feel profound appreciation for the beautiful souls in my life, for the lessons learned from the “lost” ones, and compassion for those still lost in darkness.

I’ve spoken to many who are also popping into a reality in which they no longer dignify the darkness with their attention. More are choosing joy, prioritizing their own hearts, embracing love over hate, and faith over fear. 

It isn’t always easy to rise above old conditioning, but any time, in any way, that we align with the light, we open ourselves to receive innumerable benefits in our own lives, and we become a blessing for the world.

Here are a few ways you can tap into love and shine brightly…

1. Recharge your spiritual batteries.

The angels constantly urge us to: Sit. Breathe. Receive. Just a few minutes of deep breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, shifts the body into rest-and-repair, and opens you to higher frequencies.

As our heart and brain waves become more coherent (orderly), the more refined frequencies of the Divine and your angels can synchronize with your field and resonate you into even higher spaces. You don’t need long—just a few minutes a day can calm, heal, and recharge.

2. Find rituals that inspire feelings of connection.

Perhaps you prefer a more conventional connection. You might set aside time for prayer, meditation, religious services, or time to walk with your dog!

You might enjoy being out in nature, playing beautiful music to elevate your soul, or doing something that puts you into a state of appreciation.

I enter a state of bliss in cold plunges, nature, and have had mystical experiences, such as when folding laundry and experiencing the profound softness of a newly dried towel.

Whatever you do, find regular rituals that facilitate your connection with Divine love so you can feel its loving and helpful presence in your life.

3. Transmute worries by praying.

The minute you feel a worry, pray for what you want instead. Do this a hundred times a day if you must. Each time, you shift your focus from darkness to light, you become a force for good and empower the changes you wish to see.

It can be hard to believe that ignoring the darkness and empowering the light is more effective than fighting. But as the angels remind us, there is no battle between sun and shadow. Where the sun shines, shadows cannot exist.

As we shine the light of love where and when we can, it begins to dispel the darkness.

One human in connection with love can create a powerful and positive ripple effect. 

Whether you see the ripples or not, you will feel the effects of living in love.  The world’s fearful waves will pass right through you. You will no longer be influenced or manipulated by upsetting thoughts. And best of all, in this space of faith, trust, and joy, you’ll know the joy of being the light that dispels shadows.
