Space Clearing is more than just decluttering; it is an inner journey. It is scientifically proven that everything is made of energy. Space clearing involves clearing away not only physical clutter but also the energetic debris that accumulates within your home, such as stagnant energy, past events and lingering emotions. In Feng Shui, tools like sage are valuable, but the true power lies in developing your energetic discernment – cultivating an awareness of the subtle energies within your environment and yourself.
Imagine your home as an energetic vessel. Just as you would cleanse your body with water, nourishing foods and so forth, you can cleanse your home’s energy to support overall wellbeing.
How to Space Clear:
- Begin by setting a clear intention for your Space Clearing. What kind of energy do you wish to cultivate?
- Open Sacred Space, ground your energy and send your roots deep into the earth. Call in all the directions, and the spirits of the land, call upon your guides, angels, spiritual team, and ancestors to assist in the clearing process.
- Cleanse the Space: Use tools like sage, palo santo, or essential oils, or whatever herbs are native and local to you, to purify the air and clear away stagnant energy.
- During the clearing, fill the space with positive energy by visualizing white light or inviting in loving and supportive energies.
- Move through the space clockwise, starting from the front door and moving throughout the space. If you feel the need, repeat this as many times as necessary.
- Once the space clearing is complete, then follow it up by closing the Sacred Space and thanking your guides, ancestors, Spirits of the Land and the entire spiritual team that has helped you cleanse the energetic environment.
Space Clearing, when combined with the cultivation of energetic discernment, becomes a truly transformative practice. It is not just about following a checklist of techniques; it’s about tuning into the subtle energies of the space and allowing your intuition to guide the process. This requires a deep level of trust in your inner wisdom and the ability to feel the flow of energy within the environment.
How to Develop Your Energetic Discernment:
- During a Space Clearing, stay present and mindful. Observe the energy of the space. Notice where you feel heavy, stagnant, or uncomfortable.
- Pay attention to your inner guidance. How does the space feel? What emotions arise within you?
- Observe, listen, and feel. Notice subtle shifts in temperature, sounds, and the flow of energy.
- Regular mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing can enhance your sensitivity to subtle energies.
Through attentive observation and an openness to listen to the energy of the home, the spirits and your guides, you can discern the specific needs of the space and determine when the clearing is complete. This intuitive approach allows for a more personalized and effective Space Clearing experience.
Tools for Energetic Discernment:
- A pendulum can be used to receive guidance on the energy of a space, identify areas of stagnation, and determine the best course of action for clearing.
- Trust your intuition. If a space feels off, it likely is, and this means you might need to stay in this area for longer during your clearing.
By developing your energetic discernment, you can more effectively clear your space and create a truly harmonious and supportive environment.
