With spring upon us now is the time to cleanse all things. One of the first things you need to do to clear stagnant energies from your home is to remove all the unwanted material objects that clutter your space. Assess your home, room by room. Do you need to keep all those magazines, books, and old saucepans?
Sometimes we keep more material possessions than we need because our direction in life is scattered and unfocused. By fine-tuning what you wish to do with your life you will be in a better position to know which objects you don’t need anymore. By clearing your living space, you are allowing new energy to come into your home.
Once the junk is out of your life, you will also find that it is easier to keep the house tidy and functional throughout your new year. Decide what activities you most like doing and where in your house you like doing them. Create the space for your activity to happen or make a list of things, such as a table or shelf space, that you need and buy or make these components gradually through the year.
Some old energies can be stubborn and just will not be released by your improving the circulation of energy through your house by removing all unnecessary objects. Many believe that the corners of a room are particularly prone to harbouring stagnent energies. Some ways of clearing old energy from a room include clapping your hands, burning incense sticks in each corner, or performing a smugde.
Another method is to stand in the room you wish to clear and imagine the energy in the room as a luminous haze. Imagine that your body’s connected with the earth. This is very important if you contemplate any work with energies around the home, your family or yourself. Move your arms up in a sweeping fashion, imagining that a golden energy from the earth is travelling up your spine and through your arms. Visualize the golden energy looping around the stagnant energy. Draw the energy down to the flood and imagine that the stagnant energy is being drawn from you into the ground. Put a bright Spring flowers or brightly coloured piece of fabric in the room to celebrate the renewal of its energy.
