I believe we all need and deserve our homes to be a sanctuary for peace and healing!

Energy Clearing

In ancient and native times, Energy Cleansing, Space Clearing, Clutter Clearing, or sometimes called Home Blessings, was a sacred field.  Today, the art and practice of energy cleansing is a re-awakening of an earlier tradition.  During ancient times, all continents and cultures in the world did energy work on their homes and land.  The procedures and ceremonies were very different, but all saw the importance in energy cleansing.

It was the Shaman, the Medicine Men and Women, the Priestesses, Elders, and the Sages that performed ceremonial energy cleansing.  They knew how to sense and feel energy, and as a result of their dedication and compassion, they were able to shift and release stagnant, dense, low vibrating, or negative energy, and bring in a lighter and higher vibrating energy.

Energy Cleansing, and or Home Blessings, is all about shifting, moving, and breaking up energy.  It is about changing and up-lifting the energy in your living space.  It is cleansing, balancing, and harmonizing the energy in the space.

The moment I learned about the ancient tradition of Energy Cleansing, I was fascinated and compelled to learn more.  I wanted to learn how to uplift energy, how to shift energy in homes and spaces.  I wanted to learn this to help people feel joy in their homes because I believe the soul wants you to feel joy. 

In our chaotic, crazy, and fast paced world of today, we all deserve and need our homes, our environments, to be our sanctuary for rest, our oasis for peace, safety, and healing. 

I think this field resonated with me because, for a very long time, I have felt other people’s energy and emotions.  I would be talking with somebody such as a client, friend, co-worker, or a family member, and I would feel strong emotions that did not make sense for the situation.  Before I understood this, I was often perplexed when communicating with people and I think it caused me to become mistrustful.  If I mentioned what I was picking up on, people would tell me that I was too sensitive, I was ultra sensitive.  It was said in a cutting way and it always made me feel bad.  At some point I figured out that often it was not my own energy and emotions I was feeling, it was actually the energy and emotions of others around me.  I am feeling vulnerable sharing this, but it is time for me to honor myself for the way I am, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).  I literally feel the heart's emotions of those I am around. 

 Learning how to do Energy Cleansing has given me inner-clearing both personally and professionally.  Old limitations are dissolving and that is a very good thing.  I have finally recognized that it is not a curse to be a highly sensitive person and I am embracing it.

Energy Cleansing can be done for various reasons, such as before construction of a new home, after a family hardship, after a death in the home, after a break-up or divorce, or anything such as re-modeling newly purchased homes or land. 

You do not want to live and move into a home or office building where other people's potential negative energies are left there for you to feel, you want your own positive energy in that space. 

Customarily, if there are no specific concerns about the space, energy clearings are done in the early spring or late winter.  However, it can be done anytime a lift is needed in the space.

During Energy Cleansing, the spirit of the land and the spirit of the elements are invited onto the land or home to be cleared.  We call upon the spirit of air, the spirit of water, fire, and earth, and we call in the creator of all things to clear stagnant energy and make peace with the space or land.  This is done by prayers, and earnestly focusing and honing specific desired intentions.  We work to create a beautiful ceremony for breaking-up and purifying the energy using tools such as sound, essential oils, and physical mudras.  There are four distinct steps to the energy clearing ceremony; preparation, purification, invocation, and preservation.  It is a beautiful ceremony and process and will leave you with a deep sense of peace. 

How can this 'Energy Cleansing' work you say?  The answer is ENERGY.  Homes and land are actually not just inanimate objects; but instead, all have vibrating energy that respond to human thought and attention.  For example, have you ever walked into a room where people had been having an intense discussion or disagreement and you felt very uncomfortable, heavy, or anxious being there?  There were no more discussions going on at that moment, but you 'felt' something, a heaviness in the room...that is energy, called residual energy.  There are many types of energies, such as residual and predecessor energy, that can be cleared.

Before an Energy Cleansing Ceremony, it is very helpful to clean and clutter-clear the space to be energy cleared.  Doing this will increase and magnify the desires and intentions.  Even if you do not choose to have your home energy cleared, do consider clutter-clearing your home. 

Have the intention to clear out all that no longer serves you.         You will truly feel happier, lighter, and more joyful.

How does the energy feel in your home or office?

  Do you feel at ease and at peace? 

If you are interested in learning more, I learned all about energy cleansing from a woman with Native American blood who has studied this art for over 40 years.  Her name is Denise Linn.
