Space Cleansing
Cleaning your home keeps the physical space looking and feeling nice to live in. Space clearing makes the energetic space you live in feel welcoming and relaxing. Have you ever walked into a room and you immediately start feeling anxious (or even a little sick) and shortly after you leave, you start feeling better? Yet, you might walk into another room and the energy feels so vibrant and relaxing? The average person would answer yes to both questions due to the scientific fact that all human beings are receptive to energy whether we realize it consciously or not. Think of magnetic energy. If we choose not to clean our home, it would be come dirty and cluttered. Well, the same goes with our energetic space! Energy becomes stagnant and cluttered, holding on the past through the energetic field within the space.
Many cultures have space clearing rituals; using a combination of herbs and minerals, incense, sacred oils, sacred waters and sound with bells and chimes. The Chinese believe that moving into someone else’s space (home or business) is pretty much like stepping into their shoes. In China firecrackers are used for space clearing their bright colors and loud noise clear energy and are symbolic protectors; gong bells are also used the chimes break up stagnant energy. In India Hindu Culture, space clearing is an ancient ritual, used before moving into a new space chanting and escorting the sacred cow threw each room. In Christian cultures, a parish priest performs the house blessing or space cleansing by sprinkling Holy Water throughout each room while praying for the space and its occupants. North American Indians perform their space clearing rituals by calling in the sacred spirits and burning Sage.
It may be a good idea to space clear when:
- You have moved into a new home
- You have had an illness in the household
- There has been an argument
- You want to manifest new things into your life
- Any time you feel the need for more positive energy in your life.
