Clearing Clutter with Trust

Have you ever felt the urge to clear a space in your home, only to second guess yourself the moment you begin? Maybe you hold something in your hand and think, But what if I need this someday? Or maybe, after a burst of inspiration to declutter, everything suddenly feels dry, heavy, or uncertain.

This is where you can call on trust as a sacred tool. Our oracle card message this month offers that “Even when things seem parched or not fruitful, a deeper energy speaks of the power of your inner knowing. Meditate. Trust those nudges from the universe. Your celestial advisors are close now.” These words are a reminder that the clutter clearing process is not just physical. It is also deeply spiritual. And that sometimes, the guidance to release doesn’t come from logic, but from the soul.

We may sometimes fear the emptiness that comes with letting go. It could be the emptiness of a cleared shelf, a quiet home, an unplanned day, or something else. Now, let us examine empty space from a new perspective. Empty space is not a void – it is an invitation. It is in the spaces of emptiness that divine flow begins. Just as a garden must be cleared of weeds to allow flowers to bloom, our homes, minds, and hearts need space to breathe. If you’re in a season that feels stagnant or “parched,” don’t mistake it for failure. This could be the quiet before a sacred shift.

As you release clutter, whether it’s found in a messy drawer or an overpacked schedule, begin noticing what your body and spirit are telling you. Do you feel a subtle release when you touch something? Or maybe a tension when you consider keeping it? Those nudges are your intuition gently pointing the way. Trust yourself. Trust Spirit.

When you begin to clear clutter, set an intention and call in your guides for support. You are not doing this alone. Your spiritual guides, whether you experience them as angels, ancestors, divine wisdom, or simply the voice within, are walking beside you. Before you begin a clearing session, become still and ask them to guide you in releasing what no longer serves in order to make room for divine support and order. When we work in partnership with spirit, the energy associated with our activities can shift from obligation to sacred partnership.

There are times that we hold on just because we can’t yet see what’s coming. But as the oracle card assures: “Have faith and know that there is a higher purpose next.” Trust is not passive. It’s an active choice to believe that letting go makes room for something more aligned, more beautiful, and more purposeful. Clearing clutter is not just about organizing your space. It is about aligning your life with Spirit. The next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: What might Spirit be preparing me for, now that I’ve made room? Let that question guide your next step. And genuinely and courageously trust that the answer is already on its way.
