Clearing & Cleansing Your Space

Think of your working and living space as an extension of your vibe.
Sure, you have a big say in the energy of your space, but it's like a moody teenager—easily swayed by outside influences like pollution and, especially, when other humans invade your territory.
For those who are highly sensitive or empaths, other people's vibes can crash into your space like an uninvited guest at a party, potentially messing with your health and well-being.
So, it's crucial to keep an eye on the vibe health of your work and living environment.
There are many rituals and ceremonies for space clearing and cleansing, and these are usually highly effective.
However, for daily practice, having practical and simple ways of maintaining a cleared and cleansed space is more beneficial.

Space clearing and cleansing have many benefits.
It's not just about giving your space an energy bath; it's like giving your brain and heart a good scrub, too!
We tend to cling to negative emotions and memories like a cat to a sunbeam, and these hitch a ride on all the stuff cluttering up our work and living areas.
And don't forget, every Tom, Dick, and Harry who enters your space leaves behind their own emotional baggage.
It's like a cosmic lost-and-found of bad vibes, and it piles up faster than laundry on a lazy Sunday.
Clearing and cleansing your work and living space is more than just waving around some incense.

It's about taking a good, hard look at all the "treasures" you've accumulated and the energy they carry.
Decluttering is like the opening act for the main event of daily space purification. It's the first step to making your space feel less like a hoarder's paradise and more like a zen retreat.
I make it part of my morning routine… before the day takes off like a caffeinated squirrel. Tackling the mess and chaos sets the stage for a day filled with peace, serenity, and tranquility instead of a circus.
When my bubble of tranquility is intact, I'm way more likely to waltz into the rest of my day with the grace of a zen master on roller skates, radiating inner peace and sunshine.
My morning routine of banishing chaos and scrubbing away yesterday’s crumbs usually gives my energy levels a turbo boost, which also perks up the rest of the household.
It's like I've discovered the secret sauce for creativity and motivation, helping me tackle new projects and finally finish those I've been dodging like a game of procrastination dodgeball.
So, what does a daily or regular clearing and cleansing practice look like?
Say goodbye to your personal junkyard! No need to channel your inner superhero for this task. Just toss out anything that turns your space into a chaotic circus. Remember, if it doesn’t make you smile or hum with positive vibes, it’s probably sucking the life out of you and your space.
Let those windows do their thing! Fresh air is the ultimate energy smoothie for your space. Living in sunny South Africa, where central heating is as rare as unicorns and air conditioning is a mythical creature, I’m blessed with minimal city pollution. So, I fling open my windows and doors every morning, even when it’s chilly, to let the breeze dance through my home.
Smudging: the ancient art of space deodorizing. Grab your favorite smudge stick and do a quick cleansing jig. If you’re out of smudge, incense is your trusty sidekick. With the hustle and bustle of home life, I make sure to burn high-quality incense throughout the day, especially when clients and students pop in and out. Palo Santo, Sage, and other magical mixes are my go-to choices for keeping the vibes fresh and fabulous.
Reiki and using the Reiki symbols, together with an invocation, is an amazingly effective way of clearing and cleansing space. Creating your Reiki symbol pyramid in your space also protects your space, and a simple invocation could be something like…
“I thank my guides, spirit guides, healers, teachers, and inspirers for their guidance, presence, and protection of this space. I ask them to continue their guidance, presence, and protection of this space and to transform and transmute all unwanted, negative, and inappropriate energy into positive, healed, and loving energy. I ask this in love and light. And, so it is. It is done, it is done, it is done. By the power of three, the perfect trinity. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

When you have completed a space cleanse and cleared it, it is always a good idea to bless your space.
Using the Koriki symbol is an excellent way of bringing happiness and blessings into your space.
You can honor and bless your space with crystals, plants, wind chimes, and decorative talismans and ornaments.
Just as you would take care of and honor yourself – body, mind, and spirit, you should also take care of and honor the space within which you work, live, and play.
And make it fun!
Extra Tips:
1. Layer Your Lighting
Instead of relying on one bright overhead light, consider layering your lighting by adding lamps, sconces, and other types of lighting fixtures. This will create a more dynamic and engaging lighting scheme.
2. Consider Color Temperature
Color temperature refers to the hue of the light, which can range from warm yellow to cool blue. When selecting the color temperature of your bulbs, consider the mood you want to create and the colors in your space.
3. Highlight Key Features
Use lighting to highlight key features in your space, such as artwork, architectural details, or plants. This will draw the eye and create visual interest.
