Space Clearing Home

The term ‘Space Clearing’ refers to the art of cleansing and consecrating spaces. It is a profound and highly effective technique for clearing and revitalising the energy in buildings, including homes, offices, schools, hospitals and even cars.

Quantum physics has proved that everything in the Universe and beyond is comprised of energy, constantly flowing, changing and affecting all areas of our lives. The beat of a butterfly’s wings, for example, can affect climatic patterns in another part of the world, showing that even the most subtle of changes in energy can have a major impact across the globe.

Similarly, changes in energy levels in the places we live, work, shop and socialise can have far-reaching effects on our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Energetically, everything that happens in a building - actions and emotions - ripples out like the effect of a stone dropped in a pond, and becomes recorded in the walls, floors, furniture and objects, plants, animals and people. Strong emotions, traumas and repeated physical or emotional patterns are deeply imprinted in the very fabric of the structure. Walking into a room where an argument has just taken place for example, often causes people to remark “You could have cut the air with a knife”, meaning that the atmosphere was so dense it was almost physically tangible.

The residue of these energy ripples accumulates around the building, particularly in corners. Like the build up of dust in a home, the energy stagnates, affecting the flow of energy within the building and within the lives of the occupants.

Our homes in particular are mirrors of ourselves, reflecting our hopes, dreams and spirit. If, for example, a person is feeling blocked in a relationship, the energy in that part of the person’s home will almost certainly be blocked - either physically with clutter, or because of stagnant energy.

Space Clearing raises and revitalises the energy in our own personal spaces, and in doing so, raises the quality of our lives. It allows our living spaces to become a collection point for positive vibrant energy, which in turn is radiated to the rest of the world and the universe beyond.

Space Clearing is particularly effective when used in conjunction with Feng Shui, whilst combining a Space Clearing and Feng Shui consultation at the same time is a very powerful - and for some - transformational experience.

The uses and effects of Space Clearing are infinite, being one of the most powerful techniques for clearing and harmonising energy in our lives, and creating a sacred space within which to collect and transmit energy. A person feeling stuck in some issue in life, or having recurring arguments with their partner or family, will find a corresponding area in their living space with stuck energy. Once this energy is cleared the problem will start to resolve, not because the cause of the issue or argument has been removed, but by giving the person a fresh start.

Similarly, energy lingering from predecessors in a living space will have an effect on others who subsequently live there. Often happy couples move into a new home only for their relationship to deteriorate, before discovering that the previous occupants were divorced, or had relationship difficulties. Space Clearing, and ideally consecrating the space, will clear out this energy and allow the occupants to create a fresh start.

As Space Clearing promotes healing on a physical and emotional level, it is a great remedy for tiredness and fatigue, or after an illness to refresh the space, and is excellent to use in therapy rooms to help prevent therapists suffering ‘burn out’. In hospitals it helps discharge the energy and psychic debris that builds up where people are constantly sick or dying, which otherwise would effect an already weak and vulnerable person’s ability to recover.

Space Clearing also creates room for expansion, helping you to manifest what you want in life. This is because clearing the energy field in your living space and your aura allows clearer messages to be sent to the Universe, and because a space is created for something new to enter you life. It also helps clears out the past and helps you to be fully present in the here and now, giving you the best environment for spiritual and personal growth.

The methods of Space Clearing are as wide-ranging as it’s uses and effects. Bells, drums, clapping, smudging with sage, candles, flowers and incense are some of the many items used to space clear, depending upon the density of the energy in a building and the specific issues and problems the occupants are facing. Overall the aim is always to cleanse and purify the energy, invite new vibrant energy into the space and then seal in the new energy and the positive intentions of the occupants. As our outer world reflects our inner world and vice versa Space Clearing can help to ‘clear away the cobwebs’ in our lives, both physically, spiritually and emotionally and help us to follow our true path in light and joy!
