Spring Cleaning For Your Body, Mind, and Soul

Spring has arrived and although it may not feel *quite* like it here in New England it is time for Spring Cleaning! Spring is an opportunity for renewal and rebirth. It is a time for planting seeds to nurture and to witness the unending cycle of growth and change. It is also a time to shed away old layers, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve you - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Recognize that each waking moment is a chance to begin again. It is in the present moment - the here and now - that we experience the sheer joy of present moment awareness. 

Carve out extra time this season for self-care, to work on clearing away negative emotions, thoughts or beliefs. In addition to clearing your mind + soul of clutter, here is how you can clear clutter from your physical environment and relationships:
