Welcome!
Hi ,
It feels to me that spring is finally here! I am so glad to see these brighter mornings and longer evenings. I'm using it as a perfect excuse to spend more time outside. While, I was out this morning I saw my first buds of spring in purple tulips and yellow daffodils popping up over the park. It so refreshing to see all the beautiful and bright colours covering the landscape, although I do know that a little bit of winter is still clinging on!
Spring is a time of renewal, new beginnings and release from the winter months. It's also a time when you hear about spring cleaning. Yes, it's time to get out those marigold gloves and start the cleaning and cleansing process which is a great way to get rid of any negative energy in your home.
Even using one or two of these techniques you should begin to see a difference in your energy levels. We all know that hanging around with people who drain us affects our energy this is also the same for hanging around environments which drain us. For this month, be aware of your surroundings and notice the impact that these environments have on you.
So enjoy your spring cleaning and cleansing!
Best Regards,
Begin each day acting 'as if'.... as if you are living a life where you use your full potential

As we all know, you home can gather dust and dirt no matter how much you clean them but they can also accumulate energetic debris. This debris can leave you feeling tired, lethargic and leaves a general feeling of bad energy in the house. Also if we don't clear the negative energy, like dirt, it will continue to gather and create even more negative energy which can impact your health, finances, career and your emotional body. Space cleansing will help you feel more comfortable in your home and allow you to maintain a positive state of mind. If we are using reiki in our lives and want to increase our energy levels then we also need to be aware of how our surroundings are affecting us.
So how does your home affect you? How can you tell if a room is energetically messy? In reiki you learned to listen to your body so you can feel blocks, well you can also use this awareness to feel the affect certain places have on you. Have you ever been to a place where you just love to spend time? It could a particular room in your house or someone else's home. Close your eyes and go back to that feeling - is there a difference between that and your own home or room? The best way to feel the energy in the room is to spend time in it before you clean. How do you feel in the room? Does the space relax you? Does the environment make you calm? Does your mind start thinking of negative things? Could you sleep peacefully in the room? Do you like to spend time in the room?
Once you clean the room, physically and energetically, go back into the rooms and feel the difference in the energy. Can you notice the difference - Could you now meditate or spend reflective time in this room?
Of course, the main starting point is to clear the house from top to toe. Get rid of anything that might tie you to the past. You'd be surprised at what you might find in the darkest corner of your home. A friend of mine recently found a box of mementoes she had from a past relationship, it was under her bed - no wonder she was having nightmares! She dumped it out as she wanted to make sure she was not tied herself to the past. By clearing all that the things we hoard or 'things I might need when...' means we are making way for new things to come into our lives. We are showing the universe that we have cleared the clutter to make way for new beginnings.
CLEANSING TECHNIQUES FOR YOUR HOME
There are many techniques to cleanse a room, you can use one or more of the following:
Power Symbol - In each room in every corner, draw the Power Symbol and say its name three times after setting an intention of removing all negative energy from the room. Your intention could be 'I use the power symbols (smudging) to cleanse all negativity from my home, I ask for full clearance of my home now'.
Smudging - Put sage into a bowl or shell and light it, blow out the flame and let the leaves smoulder. You can carry the bowl around the house ensuring that the smoke covers all of the room. Pay special attention to the corners of the room. As sage has quiet a strong smell, you can open the windows and visualise the negative energy being released in the air. You can also set your intention using the same phrase above.
Feng Shui - If your home has a lot of electromagnetic fields (most homes do) e.g. computers, TV, microwave ovens, electric heaters, cookers and photocopiers you may want to lessen the affects of these waves. Exposure to these fields distorts your own chi which can affect your physical and emotional well-being. Plants such as peace lily, spider plant and cereus peruvianuf can help reduce the adverse effects of EMF. You can put these near the source of the waves or somewhere within the room. The good news is that most of these plants don't need much watering or looking after so if you don't have green fingers you could still keep them!
Sound - Sound waves ripple outwards through the air, stirring up the energy. This will move the old energy some of it will flow out the window, leaving space for more fresh energy to enter. You can chant, ring bells or clap. At home I like to use hand bells which I ring in all corners and anywhere that dust usually collects. In my treatment room, I like to clap while letting out a powerful quick breath to get the energy moving quickly in all corners of the room.
Essences - There are many Space Clearing essences available that you can spray around your home. You can also use these when you are preparing your treatment room for reiki. You can spray them around the room once again focusing on the corners.
Sea Salts - Sea salt is helpful for cleansing energy and stabilising the flow of energy through our body or home. Sprinkle some sea salt on the floor or doorways before you go to bed and hoover it up the next day and throw it out of your home.
Visualization - visualisation is a simple tool to use to clear the space you live in.
- Find a comfortable place to sit.
- Take a few deep breaths and ground yourself.
- Draw whatever symbols you are attuned to in all corners of the room or home.
- Visualise a column of white light being brought down from the Universe into the middle of the room. See this column start to spin in a clockwise direction.
- As it spins it begins to gather any negative energy in the room. Then see this column expand out into the room and all corners, gathering any residual energy that is in the room.
- Once the column of light has cleared the space, see the column shrinking until it is in the middle of the room again.
- You can visualise the column of white light being encased in blue sealing energy and handed to angels. The angels take the energy away and transform it into healing energy for the earth.
TECHNIQUES TO FILLING THE SPACE
Once the house has been cleared, you don't want the negative energy filling it up again. So you need to fill the house with new energy.
Visualisation
This is a very powerful visualization that actually will affect you as well because the energy that you use to clear the house will also pass over and through you.
-
Visualize a grounding cord being attached to the foundation of your house and see it extending deep into the Earth. See it wrap itself around the centre of the Earth.
- Visualize a golden ball of energy like a small sun in the centre of your home.
- See the sun expanding gradually until it fills the entire house and every room in the house. Allow this energy to also surround you.
- Expand the ball of energy until it surrounds the outside of your house so it covers all oyur surroundings e.g. garden, garages etc. See the energy expanding above the house and below the house also.
- Now visualise a thick wall of violet light surrounding the golden sun. The violet light seals the gold light, keeping all negative energy from penetrating its wall.
- State an affirmation: "The ball of violet light will protect my home from any negative energies and entities. I ask that my home and grounds be filled with golden light from the Universal Source and only that which is divine in nature be allowed to enter."
CLEANSING TECHNIQUES TO CLEANSE YOURSELF
You could also apply the spring cleanse to your body. We are beings of energy and our aura is like a sponge so where you go, so too does all the negativity that you've come into contact with. There is no point in trying to cleanse your home if you are walking around carrying a weight of negativity. By allowing yourself and your home to be cleansed the space is created for new awareness and new direction to begin to take its place. You can use the following to cleanse your body:
Sea salt bath- run a bath and put 3-4 handfuls of sea salt into the water. Draw the power symbol over the water and state your intention - 'to release all negative energy from your field'. Even better, if you can take a leap into the ocean
Crystals -The main protection crystals are Citrine, Carnelian, Phenacite and Topaz. Remember to clean them every now and then by leaving them to soak overnight in a bowl of sea salt and spring water. You can also use the reiki symbols on them.
Morning Protection/Cleanse- Ask Archangel Michael to place a protective energy shield around you at the start of every day to protect you from any negative energy that you may come in contact with. You can ask Michael to make the energy shield blue or gold depending on what level of protection you want (let your intuition guide you).
You can also visualise any of the following shields:
-
White Light-this is for protection
-
Pink Light - this is for unconditional love
-
Purple light- this is to guard you against Psychic Attack. Use it where you are experiencing jealousy or resentment from individuals and/or feel your energy being drained
-
Mirror shield - Use this to reflect negativity away and transmute it into love.
-
Armour shield- this is the strongest shield against very dark energy or chaos.
Smudging - Sit on a chair and place the bowl of smudge smoke to waft over your body.
Meditation - Before going to bed each night ask Archangel Michael to clear and cut away any negative or lower based energies that might have attached to you during the day. Then ask Archangel Raphael to fill you with green healing light. Use your imagination to feel this green healing light flow through your entire body and fill your heart to overflowing. Allow any excess energy to be drained down through your body and out through your feet into the earth. |
