Space clearing - next level Spring cleaning
Always leave a space better than you found it.
This is one of the key teachings from my Reiki training and once you learn how to clear the energy of a space, it will become second nature.
I'm not exactly sure what it is that makes us want to thoroughly clean when Spring arrives - perhaps it's just that we can see more dust with the extra light! In any case, space clearing is the next level and something I do all year round and each and every time in preparation for a Reiki treatment. I want to share these tips on how you can clear the energy of your room, house, office - wherever you find yourself. It's super easy, all you need is a rattle and open window.
Start in one room. Once you have physically cleaned the space, close the door and with the window open, rattle around the room; into the corners, under and above furniture, around the door and window frames. Everywhere. Just go for it!
Now I’m not going to lie, the first time I did this in my own space it felt quite weird - but hey, that’s never stopped me before (and I’m sure it won’t for you)!
If you don’t have a window to open in the space, keep as many doors closed and rattle in the room and continue through the areas to an open window or door to the outside, like you are moving/guiding the dirty energy out.
Once you have finished in one room, close the door and move onto the next, respecting the boundary of the clean space.
Here are some of the tools I work with; rattles, bells, sage smudging stick, burning essential oils and scented candles - however the easiest and quickest is a rattle. (Here’s a tip inspired by one of my clients - if you don't have a rattle at home, make one with an empty tub/container and some uncooked rice).
People dump their energy all the time (ourselves included) and this is a really great exercise to do after a fight or heated discussion in the home or workplace, after having contractors in your home, or people who visit with ‘heavy’ energy. If you have an important meeting planned, clear the energy of the space before and after. There really are no limits to space clearing!
You may not notice it straight away, however when you leave a room or your home and then come back in, you’ll feel the difference. And over time you’ll become more sensitive and know exactly when you have to shake it out!
Talking of clean space... Ta-da! I’m really excited to announce I have a new Reiki treatment room where I'm working on Mondays and Sundays at House, 6 St Michael's Terrace, London N22 7SJ (a two minute walk from Alexandra Palace station).
You’re very welcome into the new space!
It’s been a busy week preparing, promoting and holding my first Reiki treatment here, so I’m looking forward to reconnecting with the Full Moon energy on Saturday night. Easter is a time for rebirth and new life - do you have an idea you’d like to develop further? Or something within yourself you need support to nurture and grow? Work with this energy let our gorgeous Moon guide your rhythm and tap into your flow.
