Clean, Organize & Clear to Make Room for What you Wa n t

Keep your home and office clean! Don’t be afraid to throw out old files with old
energy. Throw those files away and new business will come to you. Throw away
letters from former lovers and you’ll find someone new!

Cleaning out clutter and keeping your home and office neat and tidy is one of the
first steps toward “activating” your sectors ruling health, wealth and romance.
After cleaning out the clutter physically, clean and straighten up the place, vacuum,
sweep and mop all areas of the house. This should be done at least once a
week.

Allocate different corners to each individual in your household in order to maximize and enhance your wealth section. If you find that you do not use something within a year, get rid of it. Once you dispose of things you no longer use, you make room for
new energy and opportunities to enter.

SMUDGING

After each cleaning of your home of clutter, there is a procedure that is called space clearing or smudging that should be undertaken each time, using white sage, candles and bells. This is a very important course of action for clearing away negative energies. I clear negative energies with each feng shui I do. It gets rid of dead energy and brings new life into the home.

At first, some people are concerned and feel a little apprehensive with this procedure because the procedure isn’t something they’re familiar with. Smudge clearing raises the level of vibrations in a place. I tell the people it is not, “good” or “bad” energy, it is just static energy that needs to be dispersed to
make way for clearer and more active energy. Clearing energy allows good ch’i to
enter so that your home will be fresh, clean and alive.

If you are concerned about aspects of the procedure, think about how the Catholic church uses frankincense and bells during services to spiritually uplift worshippers, the early American Indians who routinely used peace pipes and smudging. They cleared out energy with smoking of the pipe and a chant dance. All cultures have used some form of space clearing since the beginning of time.

Homes and offices can benefit from being cleared out at least once a month. After
clearing the space, light a white candle and let it burn for a while.

When I clear energy by smudging, I get the whole family involved. The children
love it and any pets like to be around when it is going on. Animals can see the energychanging and are very interested in watching it move. The amount of time it
takes to clear and smudge depends on the size of the house.

Speaking about the size of the home reminds me of a friend who said I should mention,that it isn’t the size of a home that makes for good feng shui. You can live in one room and still have wonderful feng shui,and live in a mansion where it is not nearly as good. But the size of the home takes a certain amount of time to clear the energy. After I help the people clear out and rearrange furniture, I sometimes spend as much as two hours smudging and clearing with bells or gongs. When you feng shui it takes time to tune to the space. I recommend doing some deep breathing exercises as it helps to tune into the space. When you are doing this procedure, it is important for you to feel this connection with your space. You must be relaxed in order to accomplish this.

Start at the front door and go around the perimeter of the house feeling and sensing
the energy. Once you do this, you will be amazed to discover how you can feel
stagnant or alive energy in different rooms. Since your home is already familiar to
you, it will be easier to tune in if you sit quietly in each room and try to feel the
energy. If you have an affinity with animals or plants, you will find that you have
an affinity with buildings, too. Buildings have energy just as animals or plants,
you just have to tune into this energy to help release suppressed energy and move
it so it becomes alive again.

If your home is more than one floor, start at the bottom of the building and move
upward to each level. Energy always stagnates at the bottom. If you have a basement,
start working with the basement first. Most people have cluttered basements,
and if this is the case, get in there and clean it out You will be amazed to
see what a difference you’ll feel and how your life will change.
