Space Clearing and Upgrading Your Vibration
The energies I have been choosing to consume and surround myself with have recently become very apparent to me. That is why, this post goes beyond clearing space - as a clean space starts from within. And I am not just talking about the quality of the food we consume - but the media we watch, people we surround ourselves with, environments we choose to be in and literally everything we choose to absorb on an energetic level. Pretty good to bring awareness to that right?
For me - all of these things are a crucial seed to our mood/state of being. The higher frequencies we consume - the higher frequencies we emit - the better our mood is and better the people/situations we attract in. High vibe consumption = a happier and purer state of being.
Watching our energetic consumption is important as this automatically keeps us on a higher frequency - which will help to protect us from aligning with lower vibrational energies. It will help to maintain a cleaner auric field. It is probably the most important form of ‘space clearing’.
What Is Space Clearing? Basically cleaning and revitalising the energy in our auric field/environment.
Note: it is very important that when we ask any lower vibrations/entities/energies/spirits to leave our field - we ask them to return to the other side and be purified by source/mother earth so that they can no longer harm another human being.
It is important to cleanse yourself after clearing another space/person.
You can only clear what you are ready and willing to let go of.
My Favourite Tools
Meditation/Chanting: Have you ever walked into a space where someone has been meditating regularly and felt how light and clean the room is? Meditation is a powerful form of clearing oneself and the surrounding space. More often than not, we transmute lower vibrations during meditation that do not align with spirit/our higher selves. Chanting is another powerful tool to transmute and uplift our energy. With particular chants, such as the ancient mantra ‘om mani padme hum’ the vibration of the words themselves are profoundly healing. Your own voice will heal you. Everything is made of energy - therefore dis-ease (disease) in the body can also be healed through high vibrational frequencies/sounds - such as crystal and Tibetan bowls.
Water: Mother nature always provides. The soft, flowing, highly sensitive/absorbing current of water. Have you ever noticed how refreshed you feel after a shower? The element of water, when used with intention, is a beautiful way to help anything that does not serve us wash away.
Masaru Emoto, internationally renowned researcher, author and healer, studied the transformative relationship between energy and water. Using a high-speed camera, Emoto discovered that when freezing water was exposed to any positive words such as “PEACE”, “RESPECT” and “THANKYOU”, it formed beautiful crystals. While samples exposed to words such as “HATE” and “I WILL KILL YOU” were incapable of doing so. Our bodies are made of 60% water - if that doesn’t give you a good enough reason to speak kindly and lovingly to yourself - I don’t know what will. Even putting positive words on your water bottle and positive intentions into your drinking water is powerful. Another way to change our vibrational state from the inside out.
Sage & Palo Santo: The feminine & the masculine purifying smoke. Grandmother Sage, a smudge stick of dried sage serves as a great auric/environmental energetic purifier. It is said that sage even helps to kill some airborne bacteria. Sage has a sacred, positive and uplifting vibration. Be sure to set your intentions before/during smudging - I usually continue to repeat over and over in my mind. However, in spirit world - three times seems to be the powerful number. The masculine holy wood, Palo Santo, is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South America. Palo Santo helps to keep energies centred and clear. A beautiful gateway into spirit world and way to call on your creative potential.
Agua De Florida: My go-to-travel buddy that brings me back into my own centered space. Many shamans use Agua De Florida. It helps to ground and calm anxiety. Its strong scent takes you into another, higher dimension. It helps to keep you strongly in your own energy field. It also carries a beautiful sweet scent of musk. One of my shamans taught me to poor a small amount into the palm of my hands, rub my hands together and clap three times (clearing). Then take three deep breaths with your hands cupped around your nose (centering). Then run your hands around your whole body, through your auric field. Take three more deep breaths from your hands and then place your hands over your heart. Finish with one deep, grounding breath. And notice how you have instantly shifted energetically. Give thanks to the spirit of Agua De Florida.
Crystals: Wow! So much to be said about these beautiful little helpers that mother earth has gifted us. Crystals have many different uses, each one unique unto itself. I recommend doing research and intuitively listening to which crystals you feel called towards. Crystals can be used to protect and shield, absorb negative energy, clear lower vibrational energies and enhance our connection to great spirit (the ultimate purifier). It is important that we often clean our crystals - so that they are not holding stagnant/negative energy. This can be done by bathing them in the moonlight, sunlight, salt water, burying them in the earth, smudging them and using high vibrational sound frequencies (chanting).
Clean Your Material Space: A wonderful way to clean the energy in your space and also clear you up mentally - is do a physical clear out of the material items in your home/room. Especially items that may be holding stagnant energy that is no longer necessary in your life (i.e. items from an ex-lover).
Mother Nature: What more can I say? Spending a decent amount of time in nature is like hitting a reset and refresh button. Let Mother Earth hold and cradle you on her body. Melt into her.
