what is space clearing?

Clearing a space is the cleansing of energy and matter in a living space to release stagnant energy. This process will allow room for new opportunities to come into your home and therefore to you directly.

A space clearing ceremony for a home can be seen as an external detox. Just as our bodies cannot absorb vital nutrients when our bowels and liver are full of accumulated toxins and waste, a home filled up with stagnant energy and clutter on a material level will also not allow harmonious flow or wellbeing for body, mind and spirit. This clutter can block your personal growth and hinder you from moving on.

A home will not only store clutter we hold on to, but also store energy after its occupants move on, remembering especially emotionally charged events until a clearing ceremony can shift this 'space memory'. You might actually be living with someone else’s energy memory, especially in older homes or in a home with a traumatic history.

when to consider a space clearing

A space clearing can be done at any time or stage, and is especially beneficial in spring. Here are some significant situations when a space clearing ceremony can be particularly helpful:

• When moving into a new home — this can remove energy and space memory left behind by previous occupants
• Leaving your old home — release the past and move on for a fresh start
• When you are trying to sell your home
• After a significant life event such as a separation or death — this will allow moving through grief and sadness without getting stuck in it
• To improve existing relationships or invite new ones into your life
• When feeling stuck with your career or life path — making space for new ideas and inspirations
• When experiencing health problems — this may include any of the occupants
• To increase your vitality
• To enhance your spiritual development
• To prepare for a birth
• To manifest more prosperity
• To clean out an office or work space when starting a new job
• As part of an annual spring clean
