April is generally seen as a time for new and a time for spring cleaning!
In Thailand, every year the Thai New year is celebrated Mid-April. It’s called Songkran. It’s a time for being with family, a time for temple visits, a time to spiritually bathe and cleanse Buddha statues in homes, temples, and pour holy water on each other. Songkran is also known as the Water-festival as water is symbolically used to clear and cleanse and wash away all the old that no longer serves us, and welcome the new!
I associate WATER with so many wonderful feelings – feeling calm, peaceful, soothed, refreshed, blessed, cleansed etc. And the interesting thing is that up to 70% of our body is water too!
Late Dr. Masuro Emoto, author of the book Messages From Water, talks about how our thoughts, feelings, words we say to ourselves have a profound impact- positive or negative, on water crystals. And since we are 75% water, if we think positive thoughts, it has a positive impact on our overall health and wellbeing. And conversely, our negative thoughts and feelings have a negative impact. (Read Messages From Water by Masuro Emoto for the details and you will be shockingly amazed.)
So what does this mean for you and me?
Well, as you and I are moving forward towards our dreams and goals, we need to ensure that we are being loving, positive, compassionate, supportive of ourselves and others. Our internal dialogue, our words, our feelings are either supporting and allowing us to move toward our goals, or blocking us and keeping us stuck.
I can think of so many ways to Emotionally, Mentally CLEANSE and LET GO. Here a few:
- As you shower daily, intend that all your worries and troubles are being washed away
- Write all your worries and frustrations out on a paper, you can either burn it away or tear it as you visualize it all leaving you
- My absolute favourite technique EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques Or EFT Tapping. Easy to do anytime, anywhere, and feel instant release.
If you want to give it a go and feel relief RIGHT NOW…try this.
So take a moment right now….
- Think of the different areas of your life– be it your home, your office, your health, job, relationships, money, children, spouse, dreams etc
- As you think of each one, notice what feeling(s) surface?
For example, as you think of your home, do you feel peace and ease or do you feel frustrated, annoyed? If you think of Money, does it make you feel anxious? Worried? Or happy, satisfied? Or overwhelmed? - Rate on a scale of 0-10, in each area of your life that is important to you, what your number is about that issue. 10= very positive 0= very negative
- As you stay tune in to ONE SPECIFIC AREA and Tap along with me here: https://www.facebook.com/shalini.j.yamdagni/videos/10156114860867184/

If you give it a go, do leave comments or feedback if anything shifted for you. I’d love to know.
Also, please remember, just one time of cleaning doesn’t ensure long term peace.
Whether you are physically cleaning your body, your home or your mind.
Consistent cleaning is key to get awesome results. So come back and re-use the video often, everyday is ideal. 🙂
Physically showering everyday is like a daily refresh, reboot.
Emotionally and Mentally Cleansing our hearts and minds need to be part of our daily hygiene too so that we have emotional balance, mental clarity, focus and direction and then we can live more fully and achieve our desires with ease.
