About: Hello – I am Maxine a psychic and writer. My passion for the spiritual arts and writing serve me well in this venue. Writing has always been an intriguing aspect of my life, the Internet gave me a new and exciting way in which to communicate with others all over the world. In 2001 I founded e-groups, “Sangha for Independents” also “Buddhist Inmate Sangha” (sangha means community) these groups provide a community for those who practice independently. We support the practice by sending books and writing letters to prisoners who wish to know about Buddhism or are Buddhist and have no one to share the practice with. Writing to others about life experiences is a joy bringing me closer to my spiritual center. Business and the arts took center stage in my younger life. My father being the founder of Snapple gave me strong roots in the business world. I became a make-up artist and hairstylist with a career spanning twenty years both in New York and California. This gave me a great education in that i got to talk to many different people everyday in-depth reinforcing my psychic knowledge base. I lived on both coasts and for seventeen years shared ownership of a kennel allowing me to make deep connections with animals. Back east once again I am enjoying working with Psychic Source – writing for me is like eating, without it I would starve.See Authors Posts (27)

Is there a method to this madness? YES there are many ways to combat the “spring cleaning blues” and put your environment in the pink.

We have the power to create our environment to have the flow of energy to please us and cocoon us – our home, car and office are the mainstays of our environment.

Keeping things clean and as clutter free as possible can be a challenge in this busy day and age. I know it is hard to rid oneself of precious ‘things’ and even harder getting down and sweaty, cleaning the corners not only of our minds but the bathroom too. And you must be asking what does this have to do with anything relevant to psychic or spiritual energy? Cleanliness is next to Godliness or for me Cleanliness is next to Buddha-ness or maybe for some Cleanliness is next to Universal-ness… whatever your ‘ness’ is, get those latex free rubber gloves on and let’s shine, organize, polish and scrub our way to happy-ness.

One of the best reasons for “spring cleaning” is that in the wintertime things slept, get covered up, weighed down and mellowed out and dusty; now is the time to wake up the house, car and work environment so that you can think better, feel lighter, be more creative, work more efficiently, have better sex and most of all feel happy. Winter always turns to spring…and we also emerge from the still-ness.

Before you start to clean, get the camera out and take a picture of the state of the environments that you are going to give an overhaul to. This is a fun thing and will show you how brilliant you are in getting your life in order. And it is just good for soul to see a before and after picture of your hard work.

Meditation in motion or Zen in the art of cleaning

What is usually a tiring and sometimes painful experience cleaning can also be an enlightening exercise both for the body, mind and spirit. It is important to have proper tools to clean with and the term deep cleaning is one associated with spring cleaning.

If you are so inclined to move furniture around, they have coasters you can put under the legs of your furniture for easy movement. New and wonderful products like the Swiffer Mop and duster really make cleaning easy.

Bending properly will help you to stretch out the legs and back, it is important to stretch your body before you tackle your cleaning work.

With cleaning products coming in environmental safe forms, you can put the gas mask away and breathe to the rhythm of your favorite music. 

A good place to start is going through the draws and getting rid of the unwanted junk that seems to gather in the junk draws wipe out the draws and but in some new liners in the cabinets. 

For storage and organized neatness, baskets that fit under the bed, clear hanging pouches for shoes – shelving for clothes that fit in the closet all add a sense of placement which gives you the knowledge of where things are without having to dig and search.

My motto is if it does not bring you joy, if it is not beautiful or if it is not useful, you do not need it.
Organizing and cleaning makes you feel wonderful – it is a good time to make your “to do” cleaning list and be prepared for new found space in your peaceful home.

Happy Spring!
