WHAT ARE THE BENIFITS OF SPACE CLEARING?

Many benefits can be gained in having a home, office or business Energy Clearing. 
It’s almost like a spiritual house cleaning and purification. 
Have you ever walked into a room, or building and thought, “I don’t know why, but I don’t like the way it feels in here”? Or perhaps not even been willing to go into certain places because it gave you a feeling you didn’t like? That’s a perfect example of why a space needs the energy cleared. When we clear the energy, it’s almost like we push the “reset button” and then we use the power of Reiki to place your intention in each room.
Have you replaced carpet, painted walls, or even gutted areas, only to have them still smell “off”? This can be a sign that there are other energies in the space, that you probably want to be removed. My teacher, William Lee Rand said it best “they aren’t little buddies you want to keep around to play with”. This made me laugh, but in all seriousness, he was absolutely right! I’ve had this happen time and time again. My clients have been amazed at the space after the clearing is done!
Energy Clearing isn’t just for your home, though! I come to your business and office, as well as work with Realtors to energetically cleanse properties that they want to FEEL better to prospective buyers. I worked on one property that the new owners wouldn’t even go in the basement. After I was finished, they said it “felt like the sunshine was brought into their space”, even with no windows! 
In addition to cleansing the air of unwanted bacteria, the benefits of Energetic Clearing with sage (also called smudging) are many.
I also bring energy back into each space, using Reiki and your intention. This is highly beneficial, and can usually be felt like a beautiful light is being brought in.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY HOME OR OFFICE ENERGY CLEARING?

Children and Pets should go to Grandma's house for the time I spend in your home. Be sure I can easily get into all spaces in the home, including the basement and garage. Turn off any alarm systems. You can absolutely be present in the home the entire time. Limit the number of people in the home to only one person if possible.

WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAY ABOUT ENERGY CLEARING?

• Increases your sense of well-being and improves mental focus. Smudging removes the debilitating effects of excess positive ions in the air in a way that’s been described as a natural antidepressant

• Clearing negative energy. The smoke helps to change the molecular structure of both the air and energy, which produces a cleansing effect. As the sense of smell is strongly linked to memory and instinct, smudging is very effective for combating feels of anger, fear, anxiety, grief and depression.

• “Nature’s antidepressant.” It seems that the negative ions produced from smudging offer serious antidepressant effects – so much so it’s said to be at least as effective as a prescription antidepressant without the side effects.  Dr Clarence Hansell, a research engineer who delved into the biological effects of negative ions in the air in the 1930s after noticing that the mood of one of his colleagues changed in response to ions being generated by their equipment, discovered that his colleague was more joyful when the machine produced negative ions and more sullen when it produced positive ions. In a controlled study published in 1998 in the Archives of General Psychiatry, focused on seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, that was an extension of Hansell’s work, researchers found fresh air charged with negative ions was an effective treatment and prevention method of depression, thanks to its effects on serotonin levels, similar to the way antidepressant drugs works.

• Clearing the air. In addition to bacteria, smudging can help clear the air of pollen, pet dander, dust, mold spores and other potential allergens to improve allergy symptoms.

• Cleansing objects. Not only can smudging cleanse a room, but it can cleanse objects. Whenever you bring a new object into your home, especially something like an antique that’s likely to have been exposed to negative energy over the years, you can use a smudge stick, allowing the smoke to pass over the time to help clear it so that it doesn’t affect you or your environment.

• Relaxing effects. Smudging can offer calming, relaxing effects that are known to help lower blood pressure, relieve stress and tension and normalize breathing rates, as the negative ions produced are absorbed directly into your bloodstream – they may even help to fight off damaging free radicals that can lead to premature aging and disease.

• Increased energy. Studies have found that the negative ions produced also help to normalize serotonin (that well-known feel-good hormone), in the brain, which can help boost one’s mood, improve focus and create a more positive outlook. 

• Improved sleep. An Italian study showed that negative ions can help improve sleep patterns, also have positive effects on regulating serotonin production. -Susan Patterson
