Hi everyone,
As many of you know, my newest book comes out in just a little over a month. You could say that A Year to Clear is to
clearing what the slow food movement is to eating. It invites a conscious, nourishing, and sustainable shift in the way we live our lives.
If you've wondered why anyone would want to take "slow long" to clear things and thoughts that weigh us down (and keep us stuck), consider this:
Stress and stuff doesn't grow overnight. It builds up slowly over a lifetime. Releasing it takes time: time
to soften resistances (that are deeply encoded in our physical, mental, and emotional attachments); time to rewire the brain that goes into fight-or-flight; time to grow new habits that feel really good and create lasting change.
|
Taking one year to slowly and gently tend to our lives (and discover the spacious goodies that are hiding beneath them all) is beyond measure.
There is no question, the benefits of taking one minute to support and nourish ourselves, consciously and daily is powerful stuff!
Keep scrolling to read more about how the "slow clear movement" is working its magic.
Have a great month, everyone!
Happy clearing!

A Year to Clear What's Holding You Back!
|
A Crazy Idea
A Year to Clear was an audacious idea that began as a series of questions: Is a yearlong approach to clearing (our
stress and our stuff) too long? Will people be open to the concept of clearing as a journey, like a hero’s journey or a pilgrimage that guides them through the peaks and valleys of their homes and hearts? Is it possible to make a difference in the interior space of human being in just sixty seconds?
In a culture of short attention spans and quick fixes, I had no idea if a concept like that would, or could,
succeed. Would my slow drip method be too light to create significant and discernible traction? Would readers lose focus, peter out, and wonder, in the words of Gertrude Stein, is there a there there?
|
So I tried it online as an experiment: I created a 365-day course called “A Year to Clear What’s
Holding You Back!” on DailyOM. Now, with over 3,000 participants and 1,600 postings in the comment thread, it is testimonials like these that made me see that my idea wasn't so crazy after all.
There is no question that clearing in any form lightens.
Clearing with awareness, as this material teaches, however, en-lightens. A Year to Clear gives us a way to play a much bigger game.
|
p.s. If you're wondering if the book is a carbon copy of the online course on which it is based, it's not.
With more personal stories, practical tools, and inspirational wisdom, the book is double the content, and a perfect companion to the course.
