Space Setting and Clearing

The theme this week has asked you to pay attention to your sacred space. In almost every session this week I have been guided to clear the client's space when I was working with them. Space clearing is about using intention, resources and ritual, to usher old and stagnant energy out of your space while inviting new and fresh energy in. And what better time than when we are naturally feeling the urge to spring clean. If you are doing healing work, and especially if you are doing healing work from home, space clearing needs to be a non-negotiable part of your daily ritual.

Regardless of whether or not you do healing work, paying attention to your space is important. Here are some ideal times to focus on your space:

• You're having company over (set the space before they arrive to add to the ambiance, experience and energy, and clear it after they leave)
• People in the house were fighting or yelling (you don't want that energy lingering around)
• Someone in the home is ill (an excellent time to set the space for added healing, and to continuously clear any heavy energy as it lifts)
• A move in or move out (important to ground into, or uproot from the space depending on which one)
• Working and creating from home (important to designate space with intention, and to clear so the vibration stays positive and supportive)
• Someone is ill and in the hospital (Even in unpleasant environments you can increase the peace and energy by setting space with healing support, and clearing regularly)

Space setting and clearing are important because they lift the vibration of your space and remove negative energy. What would happen if you didn't wash your clothes for a week? They'd start to pile up, look unsightly, and wearing dirty smelly clothes would affect how you feel. It's no different with the unseen energy constantly at play in your space. 

Before I begin a session I use my technique to set the space which involves stating intention, visualization, anchoring crystals, and energy work. I always light a candle with the intention that the fire element will burn away lower energy as it's being moved. Upon completion of every session, I light sage and move it around and through my aura and over my chakras. And I use my technique again to seal the space after the session. After a particularly heavy session I will cleanse our entire home. But because I take the time to consciously designate and set space, the rest of the house isn't normally affected. 

Another way you can honour sacred space and your soul's desire for it is to be mindful of what constitutes a sacred space when you go out. For example, it's okay to be the person who takes a beat to discern  where the most comfortable spot to sit at a restaurant is. It's okay to be the person who doesn't go to certain places because the energy is too dense for them, or who limits their time in harsher energy environments. I love ambiance, it can and will affect and create your experience.
