Statement to Rescind: I am a packrat

Jeanie's observations to this individual:
When I tune into your energy field, I see you inundated with stuff. It's quite amazing. Of course, your statement suggests this, but I still was not expecting to see you so small compared to the things around you.

I suggest working on several levels. And some of what I am about to suggest may prompt you to bite your lower lip in terror. Keep in mind that your packratiness is a fear-based action -- or rather, series of actions.

The fear: not having enough in the future plus not being able to find what you want.

I see this packratiness occurring on the four levels of your energy field: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I suggest that you look at each of these levels and decide which is the EASIEST to shift. Perhaps you will decide "the physical" and more specifically "the kitchen" or even more specifically "the kitchen cupboard over the stove." One, manageable place. Take everything out of the cupboard. Dispense with EVERYTHING that you have not used in the last month: Eat it within two days or take it to a homeless shelter or take it to the trash. Be ruthless. Put back only those items that you use regularly.

As you are doing this, reframe the idea and rename the label "packrat." Come up with what works for you, depending on the area of your life you are focusing on. Here are a few suggestions: Collector, Good Housekeeping Agent, File Clerk, Expert, Lean Machine. And on and on. Whatever you come up with can begin to neutralize the above phrase, for example, "I am a collector." A simple cut-and-paste procedure in the energy field.

After the first area is complete (the kitchen cupboard in my example), select another -- either in the same genre or elsewhere. Fear is involved in the development of the packrat behavior, so love is the healing agent. Be very loving with yourself. If you give unneeded items to be poor, do it lovingly. Duplicate copies of books can be taken to the Library or wrapped for gifts to friends. Be generous and joyous as you give to the Universe, releasing the excess.

If you have difficulty with any of the actions to take to de-packrat your environment, you might read some of the literature on "getting organized." I can't name particular titles, but check at the library or look in thebookstore for ONE that resonates with you. Let it inspire you.

The statement that resonates most strongly with your higher consciousness is: "I am free."

As I work with these limiting thoughts energetically, you can also. I suggest some imagery. Imagine a troop of angels come in to your energy field each night (day is also ok) as you sleep. They bring with them cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments. They sing and play in your energy field while clearing from it anything that is not needed (e.g., fears about loss, feeling unsafe, excess). You don't even have to know what's no longer needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely. Let them help you.

Statement to Rescind: Let go of (thing/idea)? Yes, but I might need that later to keep me (safe, fed, warm, sheltered, solvent).

Jeanie's observations to this individual:
So, we have a fear of letting go which encourages holding on.

When I enter your energy field, I am taken immediately to an experience in your early childhood. You're about age 9, maybe 10. I hear the words, "You'd better hang onto that." It's as if you lost something or a series of valuable/important things. In addition, I feel a fear of someone else -- a fear that was PASSED to you. So not all of this is even your own.

I suggest you work with the September 1 affirmation with one word change so that it reads, "I give myself permission to release fear easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Follow the instructions in the "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" article, with I am emailing to you. Keep in mind that you are releasing FEAR -- it does not matter whose it is (your 9-year-old's, ancestors, neighbors) nor does it matter what the fear is ABOUT. Your job is to get it OUT of you. I suggest 9-3-9, one set a day for at least seven days.

It seems quite important to go back to the early childhood feelings. As an adult, you can come up with ideas like "shelter" and "solvency," but the child is more concerned with being loved/unloved, as well as safe, fed, and warm. You as an adult can re-parent your own inner child. Such re-parenting occurs by developing a relationship with the inner 9-year-old, as compared to doing this once for 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. See or feel or hear or just imagine this 9-year old within you. Explain that he/she is safe (etc., whatever is the situation) and do this whenever a situation arises.

The statement I hear resonating most strongly with your higher consciousness is: "I am free." You can, of course, vary this: "I am safe." Or "I am full." Or, "I am sheltered." Remember to include your inner child in your mind as you use the affirmation.

If when you say "I am free," you have negative reactions (for example, "Yes, right now I am, but maybe tomorrow....."), follow the suggestion in the ABOUT YOUR PROCESS section of the September 8 DailyAffirm message.

As I work with these limiting thoughts energetically, you can also. I suggest some imagery. Imagine a troop of angels come in to your energy field each night (day is also ok) as you sleep. They bring with them cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments. They sing and play in your energy field while clearing from it anything that is not needed (e.g., fear, feeling unsafe, excess). You don't even have to know what's no longer needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely. Let them help you.
