Energetic Cleansing and Clearing

Energetic Cleansing and Clearing

We must honour the earth we stand on and from which we were born. Part of this honouring is clearing the earth we currently stand on (or the property we own or inhabit), cleansing it by removing heavy energies or inappropriate intentions brought or accumulated there.

It is appropriate to do a clearing work whenever we settle down in a new place, or whenever we leave one place to move to another. We should aim to leave a clean and clear place behind us, so that someone else can settle down and start building their own nest with the help of the beneficial energy of that earth.

Almost all religions and traditions provide a set of practices to use in order to do this cleansing. But the way of life of the 21st century rarely includes these practices. This is why we simply settle down in the new office and often forget to even throw a party. This is also why we leave an office with only a box of files and photos, hurrying to the new office or home.

However, there is always a level at which we can feel that something is wrong.

Often people come to me telling that they do not feel so good in their own home, that they get a headache as soon as they cross the threshold of their own home, after having felt good in other places. Or they do not feel comfortable. Or they do not sleep well – but this happens only when they sleep in their own bed – when they are in a hotel or in a friends´ house they sleep wonderfully.

Or, if it is a business space, they begin to notice that it is a place where business is not going well, employees come and go, no stability.

We often do not directly perceive these disturbing factors that come from the living environment and attribute the influences to physical or chemical factors – the house was not vacuumed, it was not painted or it was painted with the wrong materials, etc. Or we start experiencing all kinds of bad events that accumulate inexplicably, with that effect of why is “everything happening only to me”. The answer here is neither a new painting with other substances, nor is it a challenge to fate, but an energetic cleansing of the space is needed, which I carry out with typically shamanic methods and which is very effective.

The place must be cleansed of both the traces left by the unfortunate incidents happened in this space. Especially they must be cleared of what could have favoured those incidents, of older disturbing influences that may still be operating here.

If you have seen a space that you like, but you feel that its energy is not good, you should act to cleanse it. To some extent, each of us can do this, with the help of fumigations (with sage, palo santo), with Petaltone vibrational essences such as Z14, Clear to light. Sometimes it is enough to light a candle.

There is no space that cannot be cleaned, but not by everyone. If you don’t feel good in your home, if you are tired inside, if you keep wanting to leave home, if you don’t sleep well, then fumigations are not enough, it may be something deeper and you may need a cleaning done by a shaman.

Even if we have a perfect space, we must also be careful about what kind of objects we bring into the house. Objects are not simple physical bodies, but carry with them, at a vibrational level, the traces left by history, the intentions, the affects, the impressions left on them by those who used them or bought them with a certain powerful purpose. These vibrations can be unfavorable to us to varying degrees, which is why it is necessary to deeply clean objects of uncertain origin or – better yet – not to bring them close to us, in the house.

We must be careful about the provenience and history of each thing we bring into the house. Especially chairs have a past, but also paintings and especially mirrors. Often the gifts that we receive bear with them tightly attached the wishes or requirements of the people who offered them to us. I have found icons in homes with such a charge. To keep them equals to invite someone else’s intention into the house.

Therefore, a cleansing can be carried out at emotional moments in a person’s life, such as when someone is looking to start a new project or adventure; after personal difficulties or an illness; when moving to a new space or when changing the occupants of a home; or if someone in the property has problems sleeping. Basically, you can do space cleansing whenever you feel “blocked” and want to improve your quality of life. At these moments, you can eliminate any negative energies that existed before or that have accumulated over time.

When should we suspect that our space needs cleansing?

When we systematically do not feel well in a certain place, without being able to identify a direct source for this bad state.

When  we find out that n the space where we spend a lot of time some bad things have happened in the past, facts that have disturbed the psyches of those involved.

When in that space where we are going to settle there has been a very large influx of visitors, intense traffic or when we have received a lot of gifts and the sources of these gifts is not always reliable.

When pets start to behave strangely: they do not want to pass through a certain place in the house or they keep staring in some precise direction, when the dog barks at nothing, when the cat looks as if it is hunting or lurking for something that is not visible. Animals have more developed senses for entities in wider electromagnetic spectra than what we can perceive. That is why we should give them credit and clean those areas of the house.

How do I proceed to clean the energy of a house?

First of all, I connect with the house – or what you could call the spirit of the house. It tells me what it needs and what it doesn’t need. If the spirit of the house tells me it doesn’t need cleaning, I don’t go in, no matter what people ask me or how much money they offer me. I don’t go into a house where the spirit tells me: “It’s none of your business. I have nothing to clean. Or it’s not the time to clean. Maybe I should just stay like this for a while, it’s for a reason.” If a house refuses to be cleaned, I leave it alone, even if people ask me to perform, even if they offer me money for the cleansing.

But if the house asks me, then I go in and proceed by asking in every corner what is needed. I detect with my eyes, but I don’t actually see, the gesture by which I put my eyes on the house is a gesture by which I focus, I gather my attention, I set my intention to find what is not correct about the energy of the house.

Many times I feel like the house calls for me and finds me. Or the spirits that are there, in the house, are the ones that find me. Somehow we have a common vibration and they reach to me.

I research every square inch of the house, if there is something somewhere, an object that is somehow used to get something from the people in the house. That’s how you find all kinds of things. Most often, I have to say, they are objects with sacred valences, icons, and this is where all kinds of problems arise. My advice in such situations is that the object be removed from the house and purified by fire or cleansed with palo santo or incense or sage. If, for various reasons, we don’t want to burn the object or we can’t burn it and we can’t cleanse, the best treatment is to put this object in the ground. Mother Earth cleanses and transforms everything.

Since I work with energy and energy doesn’t dissipate at a distance, I can also work very well online.

I make some very large prints, leave them in a large room, put candles and cleanse. Every corner tells me something about the house – as if I am directly connected to the house.
