space clearing
by Leahanna rovere
There are several popular sayings as to what our homes mean to us. One such saying is “Home is where the heart is.” Another one, “Your home is your sanctuary," evokes an ideal state for anyone leading a busy and demanding life.
However, if you find that your home is becoming a part of that demanding list of “things to do” or that you are lacking a peaceful feeling when you walk through your front door, you may need to clear the energy of your living space. Here are some ways that can help!
General Clearing
First, find a comfortable place to sit and close your eyes. Decide what room you would like to clear and picture this room in your mind’s eye as best you can. Notice how you feel looking at this space right now. This feeling will be a reference point for marking changes in the room's energy when you have cleared it.
Next, pretend a gold cord of energy is connected to the the floor of the room and goes all the way to the center of the Earth. This cord may appear as a gold rope, a chain of gold, or another similar image. Command this cord (through your intention) to release all of the energy that does not belong to you as well as any energy that is not helping you anymore. If other people share this room you can include them in this intent as well.
Next, sense or see the walls and ceiling of the space turning to a gold color. Because of its high vibration, this gold color will neutralize the space and set an intention for positive energy to be invited in, while continuing to shake out anything that does not help or work.
Open your eyes and notice if you feel any differently than you did before about this room. Are you more relaxed and at ease being in this room? Is there some aspect of the room that pops out for you that usually doesn't? Pay attention to any and all shifts in your thoughts and feelings relating to this space, no matter how subtle.
This process can be repeated as desired in each room of your home. Or, if it's easy enough to hold in your mind, you can clear your whole home all in one session.
Clearing Specific Problem Areas
All objects carry energy, good and bad. Each item in your home has value to you and comes with a memory of how you obtained it and what use it is for you. In fact, Feng Shui practitioners believe the space in a home mirrors the mental state of those who occupy it.
Therefore, if there is clutter in your home, your mind may be busy with frenzied thoughts and the overwhelming feeling that you can never complete your to-do list. If this situation is the case, you may find that clearing out old belongings and getting organized may help.
If even the idea of tackling your clutter is daunting, however, use the process described above, but in a more concentrated way on those areas most prone to becoming disorganized such as closets or drawers. Doing this process first will release energy contributing to any patterns of clutter. as well as help make the task of sorting easier and more fun.
For ease of reference, below are abbreviated instructions for using clearing the energy of closets and drawers. Note that because drawers are not usually that large, you probably won't need to clear the corners.
Closets:
- Send gold balls to each corner
- Sense or see a cord of gold energy going from bottom of the closet down to the center of the Earth
- Command the gold cord to release any stuck energy that is no longer useful
- Imagine the closet walls and doors turning to a gold color
Drawers:
- Picture a gold energy cord from the bottom of the drawer down to the Earth's center
- Command the gold cord to release any stuck energy no longer serving you
- Visualize the drawer's bottom and sides becoming a gold color
As you will soon discover, one of the rewards for clearing out what you no longer need is when you open the doors to those areas again you will smile as you are met with peace instead of chaos.
Followup
Once your home and any problem areas are cleared, tune into your inner guidance and ask for information on how often to repeat this process. You may be drawn to do the process several more times to release even more stagnant energy in whole rooms or just in specific areas.
Also notice any changes in how you feel about your living space. Is it more enjoyable to be there? Is it easier to function efficiently and effectively? Are able to think more clearly? Pay attention to what others say, as well, whether it's friends, family members, or housemates.
Then congratulate yourself on these important improvements in your life that you have initiated. Happy clearing!
