How to De-Clutter Your Home and Office

Hilde Larsen – Where we live, what we call home, is the most visual part of our daily environment. But even so (as with every other aspect of your life, physical or mental) we’re able to hide and shuffle away some nasty clutter, so the outward appearance might not be a true indicator of neatness. You might brush any imperfection under the carpet, so to speak, so that the living room and the front yard can absolutely look bright and shiny while your closets and attic are very far from it.

I am sure we have all done that, and some are worse than others.

We tend to wear masks to appear in a certain way as we try to live up to an unrealistic and completely false image — — another stressful part of our programming. Driven by not feeling good enough or not feeling loved, we keep trying to appear how we perceive success looks like (be it success with our work, our home, our body, or our behavior.)

The Pruning Tree & The Stone ~ Healing the Hijacked Brain

Aaron Deisher & Jennifer Deisher  – The hijacking of the fear-based brain is the foundation for many of our rooted beliefs and perceptions.  We have to remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience so psychology and biology play a compelling part in our behavior and reactions to certain stimulation.  By having an awareness of how the hijacked brain works and learning how to heal and recover these sensitive “fear based” areas we deepen our awareness of our own evolution.

There is an area of the brain known as the Amygdala(e) which can be described as the “kidneys” or emotional filtering center in the brain.  Indeed, part of the healing process is an awareness of how we filter emotion and emotional information.  Our society is inherently based on producing fear, stress, addiction, and trauma via our manufactured systems of energy, governance, healthcare, agriculture, education, religion and finance (just to name a few).

There is also a term used in psychology known as an “Amygdala hijacking” which is described as “emotional responses from people which are immediate and overwhelming, and out of measure with the actual stimulus because it has triggered a much more significant emotional threat”[i].

In this case, I want to talk about what happens when the hijacking becomes a permanent situation and how we can begin to heal from our own worst fears and nightmares.  Much of this has to do with biology and our “fight or flight” reactions but we also need to understand how our environment plays a role in stimulating the fear-based brain.  Continue reading →
