‘The Chi’ of any place can be felt as light or dense. Always do space clearing when you are physically fit. The best time to do this is New Moon.

In space clearing you are generally revitalisi­ng the energy of the home. Your home is a continuous infinite flow of energy ‘The Chi’ of any place can be felt as light or dense. Always do space clearing when you are physically fit and centered. The best time to do space clearing is full moon/new moon. Your home emits energy. If you honour and respect the space, it will nourish and support you. Most people have had the experience of walking into a place and felt this feels nice; they are connecting to the basic energy of the space. When you cleanse your home, it becomes a sanctuary to retreat from the discord and pressure of the outside world.

YOU NEED SPACE CLEARING WHEN:

Entering a new home

After a physical illness

Conflict in your home

Visitors who maybe were not very positive

Incidents like divorce and death also require spaces to be cleaned

Space clearing requires four elements:

Water — sprinkle holy water in corners of home

Air — essential oils in diffuser. incense burning, sacred music

Fire — lighting candles or a diya

Earth — placing plants, crystal flowers

You can start by getting rid of all old newspapers and magazines; remove dead plants; repair or throw any electronic­s or broken vessels in the kitchen; vacuum rugs, let in sunshine, air the rooms; light incense. (sandal/lavender/frankincen­se recommende­d); use essential oils in a diffuser; a diya or a candle lit on a daily basis is very purifying; burn camphor (circle your home with camphor); open the windows to let the stale air out; play sacred music; adding plants to your home is like a daily vacuum of dead energy when plants die they are taking on the negative energy. (Do replace them regularly).

In feng shui the kitchen stove is considered to be vital-financial prosperity; keep it clean and feel gratitude every time you use it; light a white tea light in the kitchen. It’s very cleansing.

NAME YOUR HOME

When you name your home you have a very close connection with it. It supports you more. The process of naming is the art of matching frequencie­s of sound with frequency of things. The combinatio­n of vowels and consonants will express the unique energy of your home.

SYMBOLIC OBJECTS

Use pictures and ornaments to symbolise what you want in your life. Using pictures of soaring balloons, kites, angels etc. All upward movement and they should be placed in your wealth area normally the left end of your home

HAPPY PHOTOS

It is important to put up happy photos and paintings on your walls. They emit happy energy. Handmade objects bring wonderful life to your home especially if you know the person who has made it. Handmade rugs, pictures pottery, a child's drawing, all increase the energy of your home.

SPACE CLEARING METHOD

Sound in space clearing is very powerful. Start with a bell. Hold it at your heart level ring your bell at the entrance of your home once, then a few times when you feel, you have engaged with the energy walk around the house holding the bell near the walls ringing the bell as you walk around in a circle; this creates a circle of sound when you feel the sound is different in a certain area - that is where the energy is stuck; you can do more ringing in this area; do this in each room of your home.

After clearing you can energize by bringing in all the four elements.

Take a bowl of water, an earthen bowl would be good. Put in a tea light in and surround it with flowers. You can light incense nearby; these are offerings to the guardian spirits and the elemental spirits of the home; light your candle you have brought in all the four elements; Air, Earth, Fire, Water and activate them.

PRAYER

When all is done go to the centre of your home and from your heart say a prayer do your prayer with intention and gratitude:

Dear God, bless this home and fill it with presence of light, life, truth, purity, prosperity, peace and harmony. I ask for this home to be filled with joy and happiness. This home radiates love to all who enter here.

As you make all the changes you will feel a ‘distinct click’ during each change. The whole idea is to redirect and realign the energy flow as within so without.
