Clean House Consciously
Using Open-Eye Meditation

Clean house consciously using an open-eye mindful meditation and see your world through the eyes of a child.

Housecleaning from the stillness of the present moment makes your heart sing.

I’ll bet you are thinking, Is this woman out of her mind?

Of course, I am out of my mind - the mind that convinces me that housecleaning is a boring menial chore.

I have to clean house anyway, so why not enjoy it!

All it takes is a shift in consciousness.

House cleaning - a mindful meditation…

If you haven't experienced the awesome peace and joy of meditation, your resistance is understandable.

But, have you seen the long list of amazing benefits of meditation?

House cleaning is therapeutic…

A quiet mind is a requirement for conscious awareness in the present moment.

This 5-10 minute exercise will show you how to quiet your busy mind which naturally relaxes your body. Go ahead now and try it, and come on back.

Note: The exercise works best if you try it two or three times before giving up and claiming it doesn't work.

You are not your thoughts…

What a relief! Assuming you have tried the quiet your busy mind exercise, did you wonder how can you be your thoughts if you can watch them?

Nor are you the lies of your negative self talk…

Consider this scenario for example. If your mother was critical of your attempts to help her clean when you were three years old, then your impression of that experience might be I’m not very good at housecleaning.

A few repetitions of that criticism will bring you down to feelings of disappointment and thoughts of I am a dismal failure.

Can you see how self-limiting and self-defeating those false ego thoughts are? They are lies that you believe to be true about yourself. Is it any wonder that you do not like to clean house?

Here you might find it helpful to go to negative self talk for further elaboration on the false ego mind.

Let go of your beliefs and judgments.
Allow your childish innocence to be re-awakened.
Love every moment as if there was no other moment.

Keep your conscious awareness in the present moment, breath, relax, take it easy.

If you approach housecleaning with the innocence of a child, you will be delighted with the newness of each step along your way.

A happy heart has direct access to infinite wisdom and intelligence. Allow it to guide you to your highest and best action.

You will experience fewer physical accidents, less breakage of valuable possessions, and hidden, out-of-sight areas will pop into your awareness, begging to be cleaned.

You might also discover hidden beauty in furniture you have unconsciously cleaned for years. Patterns in grains of wood will suddenly come to life as you clean away a layer of dust.

A hand cut crystal vase will be transformed from dull and lifeless to alive and sparkling. I’m telling you, thar’s gold in dem der hills.
