Does your space feel tired, heavy or stuck in some way? Do you feel drained overwhelmed when you arrive home? If so, space clearing is the remedy. Every experience in a space, all of the emotions etc gather like so many cobwebs in the corners of your space – over time this creates an atmosphere that can feel blocked and lacking in energy – space clearing lifts and disperses negative energy and creates a breath of fresh air for new invigorated energy to uplift your space and re-energise your life.

Learn the process of  space clearing for yourself

As part of our foundation level feng shui design course you will learn how to space clear your own space to keep your energy fresh and revitalised as you work, rest and play

Space Clearing is generally done before carrying out or placing feng shui cures and enhancements in order to clear out old patterns or “stuckness” that may be holding you back. Space Clearing is involved with cleansing the “atmosphere” within a space. It is understood that each space resonates with the energy of the people that have occupied it previously. It can be likened the way in which an argument can seem to “hang in the air” for some time afterwards, well, over time every experience that occurs within the space builds up like so many “psychic cobwebs” within the space and can make it feel dull and heavy and lifeless. Space Clearing cleanses this energy introduces positive intention into a building, lifting the atmosphere in the same way that spring-cleaning does on a physical level. It is important to do this when we move into a new home or workplace and also to “clear the air” every now and then and refresh the energy within a space so that it supports the energy of the occupants rather than keeping them stuck in the past.

Purpose

Space clearing is a method of clearing the atmosphere within our built spaces, shifting their energy on a subtle yet very profound level. In my practise over the past 30 years I have found this to be a remarkably effective way to facilitate change. 

With space clearing we move any sense of “stuckness” or stagnation and infuse the space with fresh vital chi. Not unlike the way in which opening up a window allows a soft breeze to fill the space with fresh energy and vitality. 

When we are feeling stuck in a rut or lethargic, space clearing is an excellent place to begin to shift our energy. 

Preparation

There is twice as much preparation involved than the actual clearing. This is very

important. Our mindset is vital; it is necessary to let go of negativity and hold a positive

energy for revitalising the space as we work. 

First and foremost you need to be clear about what you want in your life as

a result of this space clearing –I generally have my clients make two lists: 

• One of whatever it is they would like to let go of; a way of being, a sense of stuck-ness or lethargy, a run of “bad luck” etc. 
• The second is a list of what it is you would like to draw in as a result of this clearance. 

It is very powerful to write this list down, “spelling it out” ending with “may this or something better manifest as a result of this clearing, for the good of all concerned”. 

It is your INTENTION – THE POWER OF YOUR FOCUS / THOUGHTS that creates the

change in your inner world. This inner change is the starting point for all outer change. Spending time focusing on your intention is where the magic begins. The tools we use to carry out the clearance provide us with a focus while we are clearing, like a physical mantra (a distraction for our “monkey mind”) they keep our attention focused on the intended outcome. 

Clutter clearing 

Before having a space clearing done on your home or workspace spend some time doing some clutter clearing and physical clearing to prepare the space for the clearance of its vibrational energy. 

The Vibrational energy of our built spaces

Quantum physics shows us that at a molecular level everything is simply made up of moving particles of energy. Everything within a space, however solid it may seem, is simply made up of moving particles of energy, each vibrating at a different frequency which we perceive to have more density and volume that the spaces in between.  

We are energetic beings and our energy is in constant communication with our surroundings at this vibrational level. This energetic interchange can take the form of a harmonious melody or a discordant din. The choice is ours. 

All of the spaces in our built environment are vibrating with energy of some sort. Some spaces will feel energetically chaotic, some may feel stagnant or dull, others may feel peaceful and enfolding or vibrant and life-giving. 

Space clearing process

First we need to tune in to the energy of the space and decide how it feels, what is working for you and what feels uncomfortable, heavy or “stuck” in some way. 

One we have clarity on this then we can begin. Clear away or cover up any food or drink as anything with a high water content can absorb lower energy which is dislodged as we area clearing (not unlike dust rising when sweeping a floor).

Space clearing tools

The tools that I use to facilitate the clearing include:

A candle is lit to set the intention of the space clearing

A bowl of seasalt – seasalt is crystaline and a humectant and will absorb any negative energy stirred up during our space clearing. 

A bell/drum – sound is used to ripple sound waves into the space “shaking up” the energy on a vibrational level. Reverberating sound through the space dislodges any stagnant or dense chi, like shaking out a rug to release debris. 

Incense- I use a variety of pure natural cleansing incenses to cleanse, calm and uplift the energy of the space. There are two distinct aspects to their use one physical and the other metaphysical. There has been much scientific research done on the power of various incenses to purify the internal air quality in enclosed spaces. 

Incense has been used for millennia; the thinking of traditional people being that in sending up our intentions through the smoke they are inhaled into the heavens where spirit hears our prayers and exhales blessings back into our world. 

Bespoke space clearing mist – I make up a personalised space clearing mist with blessed water, 100% natural hydrosols and essential oils. Blessed water can infuse the pace with the purity and clarity required for health and well being. Essential oils and hydrosols have the ability to further cleanse and uplift the atmosphere of the space. 

My Space clearing method

Starting at the entrance to the space:

• I work around the circumference of each room first with the bell/drum to begin to shift the energy. 
• Next, I work around the space with the purifying incense to cleanse the space. 
• Finally I infuse the space with positive chi with the space clearing mist. All the while holding your intentions for the space clearing as I work.
• I invite you to dispose of the first list, letting go fully of what you are now ready to release and place the second list in a red envelope on your desk/home altar as a reminder of the energy you have called in. 
• Lastly, I will clear your own aura with incense to cleanse and uplift your personal energy field.
