LIGHTEN UP! Free Yourself From Clutter is a service which offers to teach people how to let go of 'too much stuff' - papers, clothes, and other paraphernalia - as a pathway to greater productivity, effectiveness, creativity, spontaneity, vitality and peace. The company was founded in 1991 in New York City by Michelle Passoff, who is author of the book, LIGHTEN UP! Free Yourself From Clutter (HarperCollins).

The premise of LIGHTEN UP! Free Yourself From Clutter is:

• Being neater and tidier is a benefit of cleaning clutter, not the goal.
• Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of oneself are all connected.
• While we cannot literally get our hands on our emotions, mind or spirit, we can get our hands on our physical 'stuff'.
• In the process of letting go of 'stuff' which is irrelevant to who we want to be and to our goals in life, we not only 'get organized'. We become free in all aspects of being.
• Cleaning clutter opens the space for the accomplishment and fulfillment of what is most important to us in our life.

Cleaning clutter clears a pathway to personal well-being, authentic communication with others, and a connection to the natural flow of life. Instead of a one-time event, cleaning clutter is a daily practice that can be fun and add buoyancy to being alive!

Ms. Passoff leads seminars, workshops, retreats, and privateconsultations in the United States, Australia and England. Click here for more information.
