2 :: Know the difference between your “fantasy self” and your “future self”/”potential self”. These are the two energies often present when editing our wardrobe.
The fantasy self is attached to the ideal (unrealistic) version of ourselves, or to the vague idea of what we think we love. For example, you own lots of business suits because you like to think of yourself – or you would like to be seen as – as “the boss lady”. When in reality, you enjoy feminine flowy dresses.
The fantasy self views the world from the three lower chakras. The first chakra needs to feel secure, the second needs to feel wanted and the third thrives from feeling powerful. So our wardrobe is a collection of clothes that fulfill this purpose.
The future self or the potential self does not care how the world sees us, as long as we are completely at home with ourselves. Every item in our closet reminds us that we each have a mission here on the planet and each item – the color, the material, the designer – is in true harmony with our values. Each morning when we get dressed, we feel ease and inspiration, clarity and purpose.
The future self is co-creating her world from the higher chakras and she knows everything is energy. Including her clothes.
Take a look at your wardrobe and choose to keep clothes that take you towards your best self.
3 :: Each morning when you get dressed, set an intention for your day. If you have an important meeting or a date coming up, ask yourself: What qualities do I need to embody today in order to have the preferred outcome? What is the color or colors that represent this intention? Those are the colors you want to wear on that particular day.
When we learn to see everything – including our clothes – as energy, fashion stops being a superficial luxury but an essential part of our spiritual practice. Learn to view your closet as a symbol for manifestation.
Dress up your Spirit, and watch the miracles unfold.
