A Home Clearing Practice
Like us, our homes and spaces hold their own kind of consciousness, their own energetic field. Just as we carry the imprints of what we've felt and experienced, our homes hold imprints too: the emotions, energies, and frequencies of everyone who's passed through, our own moods and moments, even the media and sounds we let fill it. Over time, this can build up. So our homes need regular clearing, just as we do, so they can keep supporting us as much as we support them.
Think of it like an infinity loop between you and your home. When you clear it and love on it, it will also clear and love on you.
This practice is a way to tend to that special bond.
Begin by opening your windows, and if you're able and it is safe, open your front door and your back door too. Let the air move freely through your space, front to back, for a few minutes. Bringing in new chi energy and releasing out any stagnation.
As the air moves, take a broom, or simply use your hands, and sweep through your space. Think of this as your energy broom; sweeping out any stagnant or old energy, guiding it toward the windows and doors, out and away. Start from the front of your home and work your way to the back, include all corners. Should you feel called, incorporate scent (ethically sourced incense/sage/essential oil mist) and sound (dollar store bell/sound bowl/or clapping).
As you clean, move slowly. Sense into each room, each corner. If a space feels heavy, or different, or out of harmony, pause there. Consider moving an item, shifting a chair, changing a picture, opening a drawer, or moving a mirror (mirrors can create energy portals or magnify energies) to somewhere else, small changes that invite the energy to shift and flow again.
When your space feels clear, come to stillness. Place a hand on your heart. With your breath, grow a ball of golden love and gratitude for your space. Grow it through your in-breath until it's double the size of you.
Now let it grow further, out and out, until it is so big it holds your entire space, every room, every corner, every wall, like one big golden bubble.
Let this golden orb settle around your home. And when you're ready, speak this closing:
In this space, no harm is done,
I call in light from moon to sun.
With breath and love, I clear the air,
No heavy energies may linger here.
Each corner bright, each floor now clean,
This home is safe, this home serene.
All that's not aligned with peace,
I thank you now, into the light you may recede.
My body, my heart, my room, my gate,
All now sealed in a loving state.
May only love and truth abide,
And all that's false, stay far outside.
Your home is now cleared and held in divine love. Repeat this whenever you feel needed or at minimum once a week when you do your regular routine cleaning.
