Dear Louise, I read in one of your books that our guides and angels can help us. My concern at the moment is the clutter in my home, particularly my closets. I cannot get everything in order! How do I ask my the guides or angels for help? Thank you! — C.K. New Zealand Dear C.K., I always think it’s wonderful to acknowledge that we’re not alone. I truly do believe in guardian angels. By the way, we can pray and meditate by ourselves. We do not need churches, gurus, or a religion to do that. They’re nice if they are supportive of the individual. It’s important that we know that we all have a direct pipeline to the source of all life. And when we consciously connect to this source, our life flows. That said, it’s also wise to take a practical approach to your life. In other words, asking for inner guidance (from angels or whomever) is great, but at some point you have to take an outer action to help bring about the change you are wishing for. Our closets can be considered symbols of our minds. A cluttered closet could mean a cluttered mind. This same theory can apply to our dresser drawers (or even our desk drawers)—most especially the top drawer, and often the bottom drawer as well. A good exercise is to clean out a closet and while doing so, say to yourself, I am cleaning out the closets of my mind. Take everything out of the closet. Examine each item and ask, “Is this item still useful?” Or, “Have I used this item in the last six months or year?” “Do I have to keep this worn item because I’m afraid I won’t be able to replace it?” Donate the items to a local charity. In order to make room for the new (whether it’s new clothes or new thoughts and ideas), we must release the old and the outworn. This is true for physical items as well as mental ideas. I go through my closets every six months or so, and anything I know I won’t use again either gets sold, is sent to the thrift shops, or I give it away. It’s no longer useful to me and is taking up precious room. The sweater I was in love with three years ago is now a color I don’t care for. Do I want to keep it around on the off-chance I may need it one day? Not at all! I’m well aware that I’ll always be able to buy a new sweater when I need to. Did I always feel this way? No! I grew up during the depression of the 1930s in extreme poverty. So it took me many years to realize and accept that I was the only person responsible in my world for my lack of prosperity. Watch how you’re feeling while you’re cleaning out those closets this week. Are you doing it with joy and anticipation of the space you’re allowing in your life, or are you stuck in the mental system of “not having” and scoffing in disbelief that the abundance of the Universe is available to everyone, including you? Affirm: “Change comes freely and easily for me. I now move through any resistance and joyously express myself. Today is a new day!” Dear Louise, It’s been ten years since Princess Diana of Wales died. There’s been a lot of media attention lately here in England about how she died. I don’t focus on that so much, but I’m still very saddened when I think about such a vital and alive woman and her life having been taken from us. It really is such a tragedy. I really am still very emotional about her death, and that surprises me. Any thoughts on why this has hit me and millions of other people around the world so hard? S.A. — London, England Dear S.A., Your letter speaks so strongly of the “tragedy” of the situation and that “her life was taken from us.” Why are you choosing to view it in this way? It was her life! Only her soul, in all of its Divine wisdom, knows the truest and deepest meaning behind her life and death. How wonderful it is to leave the planet when you are dearly loved! It is the perfect time. Death is not a punishment unless we make it so Although the situation is sad because we miss her shining presence, her leaving the planet is in Divine Right Order, occurring in the perfect time/space sequence. Princess Diana united a nation the way no one else had. The outpouring of love given to her by her own people will long be remembered in the hearts of everyone. She also contributed to the shaking up of the monarchy, which was long overdue. Her work is done. She is now off to bigger and better things. Bring peace and release into your own heart, and cultivate gratitude for the grace and good her spirit has provided, and continues to provide, for us all.
