I can see the advantages as I am searching for new housing, eager to further streamline my life, while enjoying a raw lifestyle. I now don't need a stove/oven, just some counter space, and ideally, but not necessary, a little refrigerator.
Currently I am living in 600 sq ft. Yesterday I was considering a 10x12 bedroom/living space plus bathroom. Though it was bit uncomfortable at first to consider, the paring down of more, getting rid of the last of my favorite furniture, and finding new loving human experiences for my cats, it is the kind of discomfort that actually feels good, like exercising a forgotten muscle.
As I was going though my storage shed, I noticed I have 2 big Tupperware tubs filled with writings since grade school days, and now at the age of 50, I am sure it is time to release the past, without hesitation. Freedom comes in many different packages, eliminating more stuff seems to be the package I am unwrapping these days. Giving away my furniture instead of selling seems to support my new belief system that money is old energy, reducing my attachment and need for it.
What does this have to do with the Raw Lifestyle? Clarity in purpose and direction. I remember going through similar events shortly after my husband died, living in a 2400 sq ft house, filled with stuff. It was by Diving force and coercion that I made the decision to reduce material belongings, to leave my family business, to move, to be open to new and very different changes.
This time it's different, it is of no prompting except that gentle voice inside that says it time. I have come to honor that voice, rely on the voice, and tap into the wisdom behind it. As a Tibetan friend once reminded me, "If you own a yak, you have problems as big as a yak"
I do believe that taking care of your body, what ever that means for each of us, is primary in raising vibrational energy. For me, this means eating LIVE foods. I think of my history; vegetarian to vegan to raw. Joining the YMCA, of hiking more, connecting with nature more, yes this means hugging trees, and paying attention to the Divinity within. I am now bringing in new people and experiences that support this direction I have taken.
Today I am exploring another housing possibility: "How do you feel about your shower located outside" A laugh, and smile reported; "I am definitely open to new experiences"
