CONNECTING

The Space Clearing Procedure

Begin by quieting the space by turning off ceiling fans, air conditioning, radios, T.V. and anything else that might cause a distraction. Take the phone off the hook, activate your voicemail, and put away any food items that may be sitting out on counters. Open as many windows as possible as well as the front door, if appropriate.

Beginning at the front entrance, slowly and consciously walk from room to room. Breathe fully and deeply as you focus on your affirmation and your intention to clear and revitalize the energy in your space. Imagine yourself surrounded by a circle of pure light and visualize this light getting more intense and expansive, filling and penetrating every physical object from floor to ceiling. Pay attention to any feelings that arise and imagine yourself connecting on an intuitive level with the energy in your space.

Return to your alter and light one of your candles. As you do this, center your mind on your affirmation and repeat it aloud, if desired. Visualize your circle of light strengthening, and imagine that your heart is becoming open and receptive to higher guidance.

Place the candle in the center of a dish and place in the main entryway of your space. Repeat this procedure and place other candles at key locations. Allow intuition to guide you and don't worry about finding the perfect spot for each candle. The place that you choose will be the perfect place! Just be sure that there is no chance of anything catching fire.

Return to your alter and get your container of rock or sea salt. Sprinkle a line of it across the main entryway and at the doorway to each room. You may also sprinkle a small amount in corners and in troublesome (cluttered) areas. Salt is highly absorbent and greatly aids in the cleansing process. Imagine, as you disperse the salt, that it is magnetizing all of the stale and unhealthy energy into itself. It is recommended that you leave the salt in place for twenty-four hours, or at least as long as possible.

Releasing - Clapping Out Your Space

It is now time to begin to clap out the space. It is important that you perform this activity with a strong and focused intention. Imagine the stagnant, unhealthy energy becoming churned up and dispersed, as you create sharp bursts of sound with your clapping.

1.) Return to the main entrance with your hands outstretched in front of you at waist level, and begin to walk around the perimeter of the room. Start to clap your hands as the spirit moves you, focusing on cramped areas and corners in particular. In corners, start low and slowly rise up so that you are clapping with your hands above your head. Clap at a rhythm and volume that feels appropriate. You will find as you go, that the rhythm and intensity will change in different areas. Imagine how energy would flow around a room and where it would get clogged. Focus your attention and your clapping on these areas.

2.) Continue to do your clapping as you move from one room to the next. As you progress, imagine that the energy is becoming charged and revitalized. You may notice as you clap out more and more areas, that the sound of your clapping becomes more crisp and resonant, to the point where it almost echoes.

3.) To be very thorough, open closets and cabinets and clap inside them as well. Be sure to clap around microwave ovens, T.V.s, computers and other electrical equipment. It is advisable that you include both basements and attics in your clapping procedure. If this is overwhelming or exhausting to you, prioritize the basement, since a lot of stagnant energy settles there.

4.) When you feel content that the entire space, (all levels), is thoroughly clapped out, rinse your hands and forearms thoroughly under cool running water. You may also wish to take a break at this point. Refresh yourself by rinsing your face and taking a drink of cool fresh water, or having a healthy snack.

Cleansing - Burning Smudge, or Herbal Wands

Now that you have stirred up and dislodged the stagnant energy in your space with clapping, it is time to cleanse and clear it.

Although it is somewhat rare, pure and naturally produced Tibetan incense, like those used in religious and spiritual schools for centuries, is ideal for this purpose. The natural essences that are released through their burning have the ability to alter vibrational frequency, and raise and purify the energy level in a space. It is essential to use a high quality, clean burning variety. Avoid incense sticks that contain a bamboo or wooden core, such as those produced in India, as this material can act as a contaminant. As time goes on, and you gain more experience and sensitivity, you will develop favorites and preferences based on the result that you wish to achieve.

Smudge and herbal wands have been used for centuries by Native American cultures as very pure and effective materials for clearing and altering energy. Natural Sage, Cedar or Juniper smudge bundles or wands are traditional choices. Any number of natural materials and herbs, and combinations thereof, will give successful results. Wands are sometimes preferred because of their convenience and cost effectiveness. They are more concentrated, burn longer than smudge, and can be re-lit numerous times.

1.) Return to your alter and light the smudge or herbal wand. As you do this, ground yourself by reconnecting with your affirmation, saying it aloud if desired. Continue to imagine the circle of light, surrounding you, becoming brighter, and filling your space.

2.) Begin again to move around the space, gently and slowly waving the smudge or herbal wand from floor to ceiling so that it can permeate the entire area. Pay special attention to the areas under tables, around furniture, electronic equipment and in corners. Use as much incense as required to fill the space without becoming unpleasant.

Rebalancing - Using Sound to Create Harmony & Clarity

In this step of the space clearing ritual, the energy is fine- tuned with the clear, fluid tones of a high quality bell or singing bowl. The power of a clear-ringing bell and it's ability to alter the energy in a space is truly profound.

There is much debate in the world of Feng Shui about which bells work best and the various qualities that are evoked as a result of the styles and materials of various bells. For guidance in this area, we look to the proven, centuries old traditions of Tibetan and Zen Buddhism. Both of these schools place great emphasis on clearing and cleansing the energy in a space prior to sacred rituals and meditation.

Tibetan tingsha bells have a uniquely clear and potent sound because they create two harmonically balanced tones that ring simultaneously, resulting in a powerful dual vibration. Finely crafted Japanese singing bowls have an incredibly resonant and expansive quality. These bowls are carefully milled to create flawless tone and pitch. Both of these bells have been used for centuries for the purpose of creating an atmosphere that is conducive for tranquility and transcendence.

Either of these very different and unique bells are wonderful tools for balancing and harmonizing the energy in a space. Used in conjunction with each other, a sparkling clarity is created that is unsurpassable.

Any and all bells that you choose for use in the Space Clearing ritual should be protected and kept in a special place. They should be reserved for this purpose only, and not left out on display.

1.) Return to your alter and get your Space Clearing bell. If you plan to use more than one bell, do a complete cycle with the first bell and then another with the second.

2.) Following the same pattern as with your clapping, proceed through your space, ringing your bell at a steady rhythm. Give the sound time to expand but create a continuous ringing vibration. Relax and allow a natural pace to be created.

3.) As you ring the bell, remember to keep your mind focused on your affirmation. Visualize a beautiful white light emanating out with the sound of the bell that carries with it a vibration of healing and renewal.

Closing - Affirming Your Intentions

In the final step of the Space Clearing procedure, you imprint the energy in your space with your clear and strong intention for what will occur there. You have created an atmosphere that is receptive and malleable and your thoughts and words at this time are more powerful than ever.

1.) Walk through your space one last time, visualizing again the pure white light.

2.) Repeat your affirmation internally, or better yet, aloud, and imagine that your space is filled with loving, incredibly positive and prosperous energy.

3.) If you have specific goals, verbalize them at this time and allow your self to know, totally and completely, that these goals and desires are being met and fulfilled as you state them. It is now only a matter of manifesting them in your physical reality.

Clean Up

1.) Collect your candles, dishes and other tools

2.) If possible, leave the salt in place for approximately 24 hours, or as long as possible. At that point it can be swept or vacuumed away. Don't use this salt for any other purpose or try to recycle it for reuse in space clearing.

3.) Wrap your bell or bells in special bags, cloths or towels and store them carefully. These are sacred items, as are the rest of your space clearing tools, and should be treated with respect.

You have prepared your space to attract the positive outcome that you desire.

You may notice, as you walk through your space, that objects seem to sparkle, colors seem brighter, and rooms seem to have taken on an internal glow. This is the result of successfully clearing out stale, stagnant and negative energy. You are perceiving something, that before now, you might not have thought possible.

You have taken a very powerful step toward changing your life!
