Today’s Breathwork meditation is about sparking joy in your life. If you’ve “kondo’ed” your apartment in an effort to “spark joy” you know exactly who I’m talking about: The lovely organizing guru Marie Kondo who has revolutionized the meaning of “tidying,” transforming it from a chore into a vehicle for changing in your life, which you can see in her Netflix special, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo. Which I LOVE.

After watching two episodes, I immediately understood why she is the object of just as much fascination as her signature method. She is so centered, grounded, and radiantly curious. She has an aura that just radiates joy. And, of course, because of this she has also been at the spark of a lot of criticism by people who love their stuff and think she is just being a clean freak.

Yet if you really listen to her, her tone, her intention with each client, and watch how she transforms people's lives, I believe you should examine your criticism as it may be a reflection of your own fear of letting go of all that is holding you back...clutter in your life is clutter in your mind; and a cluttered mind has no room for change, curiosity and connection to the present versus the past. 

I support her approach as it supports clarity and connection, the true meaning of life. Let joy be sparked in your life by simplicity and connection through the gift of your breath.
