The energy around you directly affects your emotions and judgement, and hence, your personal chi. Space clearning is a ritual that uses elemental energy to cleanse the chi around you, refreshing your spirits and helping clear your mind for better judgement. I’m not an expert on space clearning – but i have learnt a thing or two from my aunt whom everybody knows is the expert on all things feng shui. Someone wrote to me asking…
How do we perform space clearing ritual? What are the materials involved? I understand that we can use sandalwood but what type of sandalwood? Is it incense or candle?
My answer – Incense is great – choose any you like. Using incense is the fire method to space cleansing. Sandalwood incense is recommended but you can get sage or space cleansing incense from any good Health and nature store in your area. I like to use special incense imported from the Himalayas, grown in high clean mountains. The cleaner the incense, of course the cleaner the space will be when you’re done.
Singing Bowls & Bells
You can also metal energy to cleanse your energy. To do this you can purchase the singing bowl (buy from http://www.fsmegamall.com or Amazon (see below for examples)) or a bell that makes very good sound. Open all your windows and perform this on a sunny day with slight breeze. Raining/snowing or gusty windy days are not suitable.
Start cleansing from the entrance and move clockwise throughout the house. Circle every room three times clockwise while ringing bell or holding a lit incense. Say aloud or think in your mind that your clearing away all stale energy and inviting new energy in. I like to say prayers and mantras too while doing the ritual, to purify any negativities in my mind.
Hi Honey thanks for this, just what I was looking for. My Grandad is moving into a retirement village and I wanted to clense his new room.
Living in an environment such as a retirement home, I can imagine there might be some stale/negative energy, is there a cure or such to protect my Grandfather from such energies?
Thanks
The cleansing ritual is effective in any place. For a retirement village you need lots of Sun (Yang energy) to balance out the Yin energy. Choose a room for your grandfather that gets good morning sun (not afternoon sun) if you can. It would be great to get him a nice painting with the sunrise, perhaps and place it in the South of his room. (but not this year – as the 5 Yellow is located there). Do this next year.
We are moving to a newly built house.
Can you please advise what we need to do before moving in.
Thanks

Hi Honey!
I moved in my new house last Feb. 9, 2005 (Chinese New Year). Since then, my professional life has not been that good. Last year, I lost my job. Will this space clearing ritual be effective in enhancing the “career sector” of my house? What do you recommend to improve the flow of good energy in my house and to attract more job opportunities?

We have someone in our office building who is very negative and spreads this energy every where she goes. Is there a way for individual office areas to be protected for a while or do we need to cleanse our space every day? Because of her attitude this brand new building is very heavy and uncomfortable and people just cannot enjoy it as we should.
Please help us move forward in a very positive manner.
Thank you.
