Making room for the new: 4 steps to energy clearing your home



We all know how good it feels to have our house cleaned top to bottom, and all visible dust and clutter removed from our space. And just as keeping our homes clean and clear of visible clutter is essential for the well being of all who live there, so to is clearing the energetic clutter, stagnation and negative, stuck energies that reside where we can not see. An argument with your spouse, family conflict, an illness or virus, or other stressful events carry energy that sticks around long after the event or illness does.

After I do a space clearing in my home, I always feel a remarkable positive shift in energy, and it feels amazing. I like to do a session at the change of the seasons, or after someone in our home has been ill, or any other stressful time that life throws our way. It feels so good to put attention and intention to renewing the energy in my home.

Having 3 children in the home, I have to admit, the clutter piles come out of nowhere, and it can seem as if the kids have taken over the entire house. So this is a constant work in progress. A continual purging of unwanted, and unused household stuff. Making time for this clearing of space and following up with an energy clearing session is such a powerful practice, it is worth the time and effort spent, trust me.

 I encourage you to do more reading, and research on the topic, as there is endless information on space clearing, and energy clearing out there. I will share with you the procedure I use to energy clear my home, but please make your ceremony and clearing session your own. Whatever feels right for you is perfect. There is no right and wrong way, and the most important thing is to put you full intention behind what you are doing.

 Get clear on what  you are working to accomplish.

Is it to allow more love to flow through and enter your home? To clear the air after family members have been sick? A need to move stagnant energy blocking you from moving forward? Marking a new beginning? To heal any conflicts happening within the home? Remember: Where intention goes, energy flows!

                                             A full moons is a perfect time to do a clearing.



To get you started here is a quick guide to help you :)

What you will need:
~A few hours of uninterrupted time (depending on the size of your home)
~Incense or sage smudge stick
~several candles
~lighter
~Energy clearing music, or meditation music that is meaningful to you.
~Pure essential oils (cinnamon is my favorite) you can use lemon, lavender, or peppermint- or whatever oils appeal to you. Mix in a spray bottle with water. Or alternatively, you could purchase an aromatherapy spray blend that you love, just be sure it is pure essential oils, not synthetic chemical fragrance! :)

Step 1: Prepare your space. Clean, clean clean! Remove all clutter, dust all surfaces, vacuum, mop floors. This is a time to do a deep, thorough cleaning of your home, de-clutterclosets, get rid of stuff you do not want or need (or pay someone else to come in and do it, which is even better!)

Step 2: Play your music of choice as you go about your clearing process. Open all windows and doors (if possible) to allow for a fresh flow of air to circulate. Doing a clearing on a windy day is especially affective!

Step 3: Light a candle in the room you are working in. Start in whichever room you feel drawn to first, and begin with a prayer, meditation or say your intention out loud. For example "Spirit, Divine, The powers that be, God (whichever resonates with you) please enter in this room, and fill it with the highest possible energy, and light. Bring love, peace, happiness, and vibrant health to all who dwell in this space. Let in the love and light. And so it is"

Step 4: Light your incense or sage, and start at the farthest corner of the room, going counter clockwise with the incense, clear the corners from top to bottom with the smoke, go around the entire room, taking extra care in the corners, behind furniture, and in closets as this is where energy becomes stagnant, and stuck.  Visualize white pure, clean, healing energy and light filling the room, and carry on with this burning phase until it feels complete to you. Spray your essential oil mist throughout the room before you leave. Leave the candle lit if you wish as you move about the house (as long is it is in a safe location.)

 Enjoy the new higher level of positive energy in your home, notice how your home feels different when you are done. Have fun with this! Get creative and make it your own ritual, however it is most meaningful to you.

With love and light,
