About Space Clearing

"Energetically, everything that ever happens in a building goes out in ripples, like the effect of a stone being dropped in a pond, and is recorded in the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the furniture, objects, plants, animals, and people in a space. It gets imprinted in the very fabric of the structure. Repetitive patterns get deeply imprinted, as do moods and atmospheres. Any events accompanied by strong emotions or trauma are recorded more intensely."

"Because Space Clearing has the power to transform the energy of our homes and offices, it can play a very important role in restoring balance and meaning in our lives."

Space Clearing with Candles

Perform this space clearing ceremony only when there are no young children or pets awake in the house. Please use all appropriate safety precautions when burning candles. Place a 9 tea light candles on a heatproof surface in three rows of three, one to represent each Gua of the Bagua Map. Make sure each candle is a safe distance from the others and any flammable objects. Light each candle while speaking aloud or to yourself an appropriate version of this intention:“My intention for the burning of this candle is to remove all non-beneficial energy from this building, and to replace it with beneficial and uplifting energy. I ask for this or something better, that is also for the greatest good. I am thankful for this space clearing.” Let the candles burn until they go out, if possible. Check them regularly during this time to insure that they are burning safely

Space Clearing with Sea Salt

Sea salt is very effective in absorbing negative energy. Use the natural salt without iodine or any other additives. Get together enough cups, bowls or saucers (plastic is good because it’s unbreakable) to place one in each corner of each room. Don’t forget basements, attics and other storage spaces. They can also be placed under desks, beds, and in closets. Put 1 to 2 tablespoons of salt in each and place them on the floor. If you have pets or young children consider placing them up higher for safety reasons. Leave the salt in place for 24 hours, then flush it down the toilet to remove the salt and negative energy from your environment. If there has been a lot of negative energy in a space repeat this procedure 3 days in a row. To maintain an energetically clean space repeat this procedure once a week or once a month, depending on how much negative energy collects in the space.
