Interest is growing in this fascinating and exciting aspect of Feng Shui . Tools include singing bowls, crystals, incense and smudgesticks.

All life is energy. We are energy, our home is energy. This energy is constantly changing, as are we all. Our lives, circumstances and relationships are all fluid.

Our home and every object in it is constantly speaking to us . Ideally, it’s saying loving, supportive, encouraging things. But since life is fluid, sometimes our home is not giving us the most beneficial messages. This is when a Space Clearing Practitioner can help to re-balance things. Just as we feel renewed after a good spring (or fall) housecleaning, so our spirits and minds feel renewed after an energy clearing.

When Should We Consider a Space Clearing?

  • After moving into a new home or business (*see below)
  • After a renovation - these can really stir things up
  • When a change is necessary but it is difficult to know where to start
  • At a time of a new beginning (new Year's, birthday, new job, new family member)
  • After a large gathering or family visit
  • During a loss of creativity
  • After a divorce or end of a relationship
  • After an accident or violent event
  • During a time of depression
  • After an illness or time of suffering
  • Upon putting a house up for sale or when it won't sell after a long time
  • When business is lagging for no apparent reason

* Especially if there was illness, loss or violence in the house before moving in (Predecessor Energy) or if children start having recurring nightmares after moving in.

What Happens During a Space Clearing Ceremony?

Many different methods and tools are used by individual practitioners, but the intention is the same. Simply put, it’s like a good solid housecleaning but with different equipment. Instead of cleaning the windows and floors, it is the interior atmosphere which is being cleaned.

A Space Clearing practitioner will come to the home or business with their kit (bells, singing bowls, smudge sticks or incense, crystals, salt, to name some possible tools). They will use the tools in a certain order following a certain procedure, with the intention of dislodging the old, stagnant, unhelpful energies, sending them out of the open doors or windows, and then inviting the new, fresh, beneficial energies in and anchoring them in the space.

Will Things Feel Better Afterward?

Afterwards, one may notice a cleansed, refreshed feeling in the home. The space may feel lighter, colours may seem sharper, and plants may look healthier. One may feel inspired or peaceful or motivated to start that new creative project. Our home is meant to nourish and support us. Keep it happy.
