Overview

Space Clearing is an important branch of Feng Shui and it is concerned with cleansing and consecrating buildings. By clearing stuck energies and creating sacred space around us, everything in life starts to work better. Relationships, prosperity, health and vitality levels improve, we feel a much greater sense of ?belonging? and our home becomes a greater source of nourishment.

History

Karen Kingston is recognised as the western world's leading authority on Space Clearing, the specialised branch of Feng Shui.

She first began her researches into Space Clearing in 1976, long before there was any public interest in Feng Shui or related subjects. At that time she used it in only in her own home and occasionally the homes of friends.

In the late 1980's she became one of the top Rebirthing and Body Harmony practitioners in the UK, with a thriving practice based in London. It was during these years that she experienced first-hand the remarkable effects of doing Space Clearing in the therapy rooms she worked in.

Benefits

How to use Space Clearing to improve health, relationships, prosperity and any aspects of your life which feel stuck.

How Space Clearing enhances traditional Feng Shui arts:

• The immense benefits of living a clutter-free life
• Purification through intention, light and love
• How to consecrate new space
• Learn how to sense energies in buildings
• Purification through the elements of the earth, air, fire and water (including information about incense, crystals, salt, holy water and candles)

Procedure

Step 1

Firstly, it is vital to give the home a really good spring clean and, at the same time, remove all clutter. Following on from this is the use of ritual to further purify the space. This can involve any of the following four elements:

Water - holy water, energised water or purified water
Fire - candles or an open fire
Earth - plants, flowers, crystals or salt
Air - essential oils, incense, feathers, bells, drums, music or chanting.

Offerings are usually made by placing these elements in different parts of the home. A skilled practitioner will usually start at the front door, moving from room to room, using one of the Air elements, such as incense, drumming or chanting to move the Chi.

Step 2

The second step, once the space has been cleared, is to refine and uplift the atmosphere of the home. This is usually done with a good quality bell, or with music, clapping, prayer or chanting.

Step 3

The third and equally vital step, is to set the 'intention' of the space. Once the space has been cleared, it has been raised to a higher vibrational level and, rather like a void, is ready to be filled. This moment provides an opportunity to set the tone of the new space. Chi energy will always follow intention. Some kind of ceremony is important now to establish this. This is often carried out by standing at the centre of each room and allowing your energy to expand and fill the space while, at the same time, declaring your intention.

Space clearing is not recommended when your Chi is low or you feel run down or ill. It is never wise to space clear someone else's home, as this is much better left to a professional.
