The Clear Method by Carolyn Creel


Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Clear Method by Carolyn Creel. It's a book which wasn't quite what I was expecting but I enjoyed it and found it helpful. More on all of that below. Big thanks to Kelly Lacey at Love Books Tours for the invitation and to the publisher for my review paperback.



The Blurb

The Clear Method is here to shake (and vac) up the way we have lived our lives for years - so much more than a book on cleaning your house; it will help you shift stuck energy and get into the flow.

On a practical level, it declutters the chaos of life. Energetically it helps you focus and see more clearly. Emotionally it helps to shift outdated ways of thinking that have kept you stuck in a rut.

Author Carolyn guides you through her tried and tested methods to Clear, Let go, Energise, Act and receive in all areas of life.

The Clear Method is published by Unbound Press and came out on 21st March 2023.

My Review

The Clear Method appealed to me because my house is a bit of a disaster and my life isn't much better! 😂 I thought a book that showed me how to declutter my chaos and find my sparkle was exactly what I needed. When I said in my intro that it wasn't quite what I expected, I didn't know beforehand that as well as being a cleaning whizz and successful business woman, Carolyn is also clairvoyant and speaks to Spirit and brings that side of things into the Clear Metihod.  Now, full disclosure here - this is something I've always been more than a little sceptical about. But I went into this with an open mind and found it an enjoyable and beneficial read. And Carolyn herself said that although she is 'woo', she's only one woo, not two, which made me smile. 

The Clear Method is a book for everybody but particularly women, I think. It certainly appealed to me and I appreciated the section on the menopause. It's written in a very personal way, as if the author is just chatting to you.  This isn't just an instruction manual on cleaning your house, although that's certainly part of it, but more aimed at every area of your life - physical space, family and friends, relationships, job and finances.  The book is divided into five main sections - C, for Clear, Cleanse and Clarity, L is for Letting Go, E for Energise, Embody, Embrace and Empower, A for Action, Assessment and Alignment and R for Receive. The author refers to the process as a dance, with each area of our lives perhaps at a different part of the process and is also with us moving backwards and forwards. 

Amongst the talk of chakras and chi, which I'm not dismissing but which weren't a focus for me, there are fun quizzes to see where you're at, really helpful suggestions how you might be able to make improvements across all areas of your life and keeping a record of your progress. Also great ideas for breath work, meditation and general relaxation. There are certainly parts of the book I shall go back to and try to apply in my own house and my life more generally. There is mention of spirit guides and angels which is not my thing, but I must admit there is a certain appeal to screaming out for help to the universe and seeing what comes back to you. You never know, maybe this old cynic will try it yet! An interesting read.
