So, you bought a new home, moved to a new apartment, moved to a new office or just hosted a big family get together or party AND the energy in your home feels off. You may be feeling a certain way and not realize the accumulated left over energy from your guests or work colleagues has affected you. This is a great time to conduct a space clearing. The reason is because we all have energy and that energy can be left in our every day spaces. This accumulation of energy left in our spaces can be negative or heavy, leaving the ‘chi’ and energy in our spaces affected. 
So, it’s always a good idea to clear out the space and left over energies so they do not block us or add negative energy.
To do this, you can perform a space clearing ritual called “smudging”. Smudging is the act of burning herbs such as white sage, sweet grass or palo santo wood using a positive intention while going clockwise room to room wafting the smoke throughout the rooms, closets and corners (especially because energy can accumulate in corners). Be sure to open the windows so the smoke and energies can leave the space.
Smudging your space should be a ritualistic event and can be done as often as you’d like. At the end of your space clearing session, be sure to “sage” or “smudge” yourself or your family. It can also help to clear out the stuck energies with the use of a singing bowl or tingsha. The sound waves help to move out any hard to move stuck energy.
Don’t be discouraged if you’ve never done this before. Anyone can do it and it’s easy to find supplies to smudge. Just look on Amazon or your local health/holistic store.
Here is a list of supplies you may want:
- White sage or sweet grass bundles or even lavender or palo santo wood
- Abalone shell (to catch the ashes)
- Feather
- Lighter
So, enjoy the feeling of your new cleared space. Breathe in the feeling of your new cleared space. Feel the chi flow and your intention starting to manifest. Relax.
By the way, I conduct space clearings so if you need help the first time going about it I’m available to assist or conduct the clearing if you are just not up to it!
Happy smudging!!
