Clearing Out Old Energy

Whether you’re moving in, spring cleaning or you just need a ‘calm the farm’ family re-fresh, nothing beats a simple energy clearing.  You can target one room, the entire house, the garage, shed and lets not forget outside living areas including play areas or even the property as a whole.

Energy clearing is also great before and after events such as: – exams, family illness or tragedy, after arguments, divorce, if a child is subjected to bullying and even around major celebrations. For example: Just before Christmas.

Now this might sound counter intuitive, but, lets face it preparations can be stressful. There is a lot of extra effort that goes into Christmas: – planning, trips to the shops, strain on the old purse strings, juggling work, holidays, bored kids and of course finding the right presents for everyone. 

Needless to say a quick energy clearing with positive intention setting 1 to 2 days prior to Christmas Eve can set the scene for happy family time together.

Moving into a vacant home is also an ideal time to clear energy to remove any
residual vibes from the previous occupants – in fact I say it is vital for a moving in to a new home, owned or rented.  This helps you to not repeat the previous occupants
patterns giving you & your family the best new beginning at a time of major upheaval, plus it gives you the chance to get uber clear on what you want your life to be like in a different environment. Do you need to change things up, do you need to refocus, are you beginning a new chapter of your life, etc.

A Simple Energy Clearing ‘How To’ Guide

Preparation

Get Clear – What do you want life to be like in your home?

Spend some quiet time thinking about what you want, what that looks like & begin to feel good about making it happen.  Perhaps it’s getting things back on track or starting some thing new – a course or job.

Note: it’s ok to see what’s not working but only briefly! You want to predominantly think of what you DO want as you only get what you focus on – so focus on the good.

Prepare & Cleanse – What you need to do to clear energy

A popular choice is using white sage; you carefully burn until it smokes then you use the smoke to ‘smudge’ or clear away the old energy (you will also need a bowl to catch the ash as you go).  Alternatively you can use smoke from an incense stick which will leave a nice smell as well. 

Sound is another simple energy clearing method and you can use small spiritual bells, Tibetan tingsha cymbals, clapping your hands loudly or even music. The main idea is that you are moving the old energy out through sound and vibration.

Energy Clearing – A 2 Step Process

Step 1.  Clear the Current Energy

First move through the room, house or area, smudging or making sound in all
corners, nooks and crannies.  Be methodical and cleanse each space the same way, high and low, around furniture if needed, around door & window frames and in the centre of the space as well. 

I suggest going right to left each time.
As you do this, repeat to yourself out loud or in your mind…

‘I clear away all old, stale & negative energy, leaving this space clear & cleansed’.  

Step 2. Fill the Cleansed Space with your Best Intentions

Repeat the pattern you made when clearing the energy but this time state your
positive intention in the space. For example:

‘I fill this space with… love, happiness, safety, abundance, inspired learning, unity with
family members, success, a thriving business’ etc (whatever your intention is). 

Then say…

‘I now fill this space with positive intentions that serve my/our highest good’. 

 And that’s it!  Simple quick and effective! 

Tips – Try to use your intuition to feel how much cleansing you need to do in each space and when it feels right move onto the next area. 

– If a house has been vacant for sometime the energy may feel heavy or still as you begin, and after you have completed your clearing, it should feel lighter.   But don’t worry  if you don’t ‘feel’ anything, just continue until you have finished both clearing and
filling with positive intention and trust the process.

At the very least if your frame of mind has changed then it is well worth the small time outlay. There are many different ways to clear energy and this is a very quick ‘how to’ introduction.
