All of theseresponses can be explainedin terms of the energy of environments.Every space has energy. Yourhome is not only a composite ofmaterials assembled for shelter,but also every cubic centimeterof it - whether solid or seeminglyempty space - is composed of infinite flows of energy. When youenter a space that makes you immediately feel light and upliftedor walk into a room where theatmosphere leaves you feelingdepleted and drained, you areresponding to the energy of theenvironment. If you notice tension and heaviness in a room after an argument has taken place,you are experiencing a residualenergy that can linger in a roomlong after the argument hasended.Sometimes energy in a homeor office can become stagnantand dull.

The type of clearingthat you do will depend on thehistory of the space, and whathas gone on there.For example, after a sicknessor death of a loved one, theenergy of a home often becomes sluggish and heavy. Todispel the listless energy andrestore balance in the area,clearing techniques that arevibrant and quick moving areused, those which are yang(active) in nature.

Anecdotal evidence supports thevalidity of such practices, ashomes built on battle sites orhallowed ground have oftenbeen plagued by continuousproblems. Simply taking thetime to connect and communicate with the earth, clear theland of residual energy, andoffer blessings can make anenormous difference in thefortunes of all the occupantsof a home. Blessings for theland forge a symbolic linkbetween the house and thelife-giving earth it rests upon.The people who live in thehome will reap the benefits ofliving in this location.BEFORE MOVING INTO AHOMEIn many cultures it was unthinkable to move into a home thathadn’t been cleared and blessed. Homes that have not beenfreed of residual energies willsometimes continue to fosterpatterns of behavior related tothe emotions of the previousoccupants. If there was a lotof anger experienced by previous owners, this can createan energy echo called residual energy. Residual anger ina home can make it easier forthe current residents to haveanger issues.Also, it is not uncommon for abusiness to go bankrupt in abuilding that has seen previous bankruptcy. Although thiscould be attributed to a badlocation, it is more likely thatthe negative energy created bythe previous misfortune created a template for failure; this iscalled predecessor energy.Even if the previous homeowners were healthy and happy, it isstill advantageous to clear thespace so you’re free to createyour own traditions and spacethere. You’ll then be surrounded by your own energy, ratherthan another’s.Elemental Space Clearing Denise Linn13

Although a completeclearing involves an entirehome or office, even the simple act of lighting a candle,misting a room, or ringing abell will have a positive effecton how you feel, if it is donewith the intent of transformingthe energy in your environment.When you cleanse and purifythe energy in your home, it becomes a sanctuary - a retreatfrom the discord of the world,a place of refuge and protection. It becomes an anchoringpoint from which you ventureout into the world, as well asbeing a welcoming abode foryour return. A home that hasbeen cleansed and blessedbecomes somewhere you feelsafe enough to be yourself,a place to embrace your joy,and explore your pain. Spaceclearing can turn every inchof a home into a sanctuary ofsacred space that nurtures thesoul.You may want to do a lightspace clearing every morningto start your day with crisp, clearenergy. Simply walking aroundeach major room in your homeringing a bell, or lighting incense at an altar or wafting thesmoke of burning sage with afeather in the morning hourscan set a template of clarity forthe rest of the day.There are four steps in spaceclearing:1. Preparation2. Purification3. Invocation4. PreservationEach step, taken with care andlove, can contribute to bringing balance into your homeand life. These four steps cancreate a powerful integrationof your outer life and your inner life. Space clearing ceremonies and specific tools described in other sections of thebook can be adapted to thefour steps described here.PREPARATIONThe success of any journeydepends on the attention given to preparations made atits outset. There is immensepower in beginnings for asthe seed is nurtured, so growsthe tree. Taking the time toprepare yourself, your tools,and the space you are clearing will dictate how powerfulthe transformation will be.PREPARING YOURSELFThe strength of your spaceclearing depends on your ability to intuitively sense energy,clarify your intention, and project your will into a space.Your intuition is the key thatwill open the door into the revealing world of energy in yourhome or business. One way todevelop and prepare your intuition is to spend time beingabsolutely still in nature. Onlywhen you learn to silence yourthoughts can your inner voicesbe heard, and this is easier in anatural environment.All space clearing has its rootsin shamanism, and shamanismhas its basis in attunement tothe natural cycles of nature.So, to develop your intuition,spend time out of doors.

radiate through your body.Look up to the heavens.Watch the clouds as they formand reform above you. Noticeany signs or messages in whatyou see. Doing this exercisehelps you develop your intuition for perceiving the hiddenmessages indoors in houses orbusinesses.SENSING ENERGYOne of the skills necessary forspace clearing is the ability tosense energy fields. Developing this awareness is whatwill allow you to sense whenenergy is out of balance in aroom and what changes needto be made in order to restoreharmony. To develop this skill,go around the periphery ofa space very slowly with onehand extended. Notice placeswhere you feel a difference.Your arm may feel heavy orlight, warm or cold in places.There may be places that seemto feel sticky and places thatfeel smooth. This is not yourimagination. You are sensingenergy. The secret is to slowdown, still your mind and trustwhat you are perceiving.CLARIFYING YOURINTENTIONWhere intention goes, energyflows. Before you begin anyspace clearing, it is essentialthat you become very certainabout what you hope to accomplish in a dwelling. Theclarity and vigor of your intention will determine the direction and focus of the clearing.If your intention is to create acalming energy, this is what16Elemental Space Clearing Denise Linnwill occur. If you resolve thatyour space clearing will bringa dynamic vitality to a household that has been stagnant,then this will be the outcome.PROJECTING YOUR WILLThe more chi (inner energy)you have, the more powerful your space clearing willbe. When your chi is flowing,you can project your intention into a space magnificently and gracefully. To developyour chi, you might considerpracticing meditation or taking tai chi or yoga classes. Anexercise to activate this unseen, yet very real inner lifeforce is to imagine that youhave a ball of energy in yourhands. Slowly move this energy ball around. After a whileyou should feel an increasingsensation in your palms. Thisis your chi increasing. A visualization to project your willinto a space is to imagine thatyour body is a sacred vesselthrough which vast, lovingenergies of the universe arepouring through your handsand into your home.is “you.” From a spiritual perspective, there is nothing outthere that isn’t you. You aretruly ONE with all things. Weare a part of all things and tothe extent that you experiencethis, there is nothing that canharm you and there is no needfor protection. It is not uncommon when space clearing toenter this state, in which caseyou do not need protection.PROTECTING YOURSELFAs soon as you protect yourself, you are defining what isout there as “bad” or “harmful.” In a strange way, thismakes it become even moreso. It is a kind of polarization.(What you resist persists. Ifyou spend a lot of time andenergy resisting “bad” energy and protecting yourself, ina strange way, you are creating the very things that youneed to protect yourself from.)Someone who is constantlyprotecting herself has a tendency to be a victim of life orthey are a person who oftenfeels a lack of personal power.They are actually continuallydefining themselves as helpless and affirming their ownpowerlessness. It’s importantto be aware of this.There is a mystical dimension within each of us whereindwells the entire universe. It isa domain where you are notseparate from the mountains,clouds, or great seas. Ancients, sages, and visionarieshave spoken of this dimensionwith awe and reverence. On avery deep level, there is nothing that is separate from you,so there is no need to protectyourself.because everythingHowever, as most of us don’texperience a beneficent stateof grace on an on-going basisand as it is not always possible to maintain this feeling ofunity and oneness with thespace around you, there areoccasions when it is essentialto cloak your energy field sothat you can be more effectivein your space clearing. Youshould not hesitate to protectyourself if you feel the need.

Lesson OneYou may want to imagine a golden sphere of sacredspace around you. This will provide you with a personalprotective shield while you are working. You may alsowant to wear a religious or spiritual amulet while youwork. Additionally, you may want to put a small amountof salt in your pockets while you work. This is grounding and offers protection while you work.PRIOR TO PROTECTING YOURSELFBefore you do any protection techniques:1. SET YOUR INTENTIONSet the intention that you are divinely protected fromall that doesn’t serve your highest purpose2. SAY A PRAYERa. Offer a prayer for the highest goodb. The best prayers are straight from the heart3. ACTIVATE GENERAL BALANCE AND HARMONYa. Stay grounded and connected with earth energyb. Allow roots to flow from you deep into MotherEarthc. Walk on the earthd. Touch a tree4. STAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR HIGHER POWERa. Ask for assistance from God/Goddess/Creator/Great Spirit, guides, guardians, and angels, and humbly beseech guidance, assistance, and protection.b. Remember Divine Energy is within you as well asaround you or above you. You are Divine Energy.c. Maintain a high vibration of gratitude, love, compassion, and joy. Like attracts like. Negative thoughts,feelings, and vibrations can deplete your energy. Donot suppress your emotions. Process all your emotionsin a healthy manner and allow them to release so youcan move forward with vibrant health and vitality.d. Be clear and full of light. Cleanse yourself asappropriate.e. Have a healthy respect for less than positive energies. However, do not allow yourself to come froma place of fear. Instead, come from a place of confidence, strength and compassion. Ask for assistancewhen needed.Elemental Space Clearing Denise Linn17

ProtectionTechniquesRemember that in the highest sense,protection isn’t needed, though if youever feel the need to use protectiontechniques, here are a few highly effective ones. You do not need to useall of these techniques.However, as a suggestion, try them all outto discover the one that works best foryou. Alternatively, you might want to combine a few of them.The best way to experiment with themis to go into a situation in which you areaware that you need your energy “mantle” (maybe at a family reunion that alwaysleaves you drained) and experiment withthem to see which one seems to work thebest for you.1. SPIRAL – imagine two intertwined spirals (like a DNA strand) going fast, twirlingup from earth like a whirlwind. Visualizeyourself in the center.Stomp twice (once with each foot) to activate the spirals, saying “Haa!” with passionwith each stomp. (An interesting side-noteis that in the Hawaiian language the word“Haa” means both “breath” and “spirit”).If you use colors in your visualization ofthe spiraling energy make sure the entirewhirlwind column of color is surrounded inshimmering radiant white light.18Elemental Space Clearing Denise Linn

Lesson OneEach and every color and light has an enormous affect on usphysically, emotionally and spiritually. -Denise LinnCOLORUse colors as needed. Visualize them as incredibly bright and sparkling:1. Red to protect from the physical denser energies2. Orange to protect from emotional energies3. Yellow to protect from mental energies4. Green to protect from anything less than positive for your health5. Blue to protect from any psychic energies6. Purple to protect from astral or etheric energies2. BREATH OF FIREBreath of Fire is a powerful protecting and clearing kind of breath that has been done in Indianhealing traditions for many hundred years. It clears your energy field and also creates a healing,protective energetic boundary around you. Breath of Fire is also good for clearing your auric fieldafter your space clearing.a. Start with slow deep breaths through your nose and then increase the speed until you aredoing a very rapid in-and-out breath. It’s best to do this standing and allowing your pelvis andyour body to be unrestricted as you do it, so that energy can pump up from the earth andthrough your entire body.b. Imagine that each breath is reinforcing your personal shield of energy around your body. Thevisualization is very important for this technique.Elemental Space Clearing Denise Linn19

3. TALISMANa. Whatever feels powerful and protective to you; a crystal, stone, symbol, word, special gift, canbe used as a talisman. The item is less important than the meaning that you assign to it.b. Make sure your talisman is cleansed periodically, via one of the below:1. Sunlight2. Smoke3. Prayers or chants4. Sound vibration5. Saltc. Stones: The stones below are particularly good talismans for protection; however, any stonethat feels powerful and protective to you is a good one to use.1. Black tourmaline2. Iron pyrite3. Lingham4. A crystal can be used if it is cleared immediately and reprogrammed (be aware that a crystalcan absorb energy, rather than dispel energy, if not used in a discerning way.)d. Talismans can be worn around the neck or they can be taped on the body with surgical tape (ifyou use this method, consider taping on to the solar plexus area.)4. S
