Before Your Space Clearing

The effectiveness of an energy clearing often depends as much on the preparation as the clearing itself.

Whether you're working with a professional practitioner or performing your own spiritual cleansing, properly preparing your space can significantly enhance the results.

​In this guide, we'll explore the crucial steps before beginning any energy clearing work.

A Clean Physical Foundation

Before addressing the energetic aspects of your space, it's essential to start with the physical. A cluttered, dirty environment can trap stagnant energy and inhibit clearing. Begin by thoroughly cleaning your space, paying special attention to corners, windows, and areas under furniture where energy stagnates. Vacuum, dust, and wipe down surfaces to create a fresh, clean canvas for energy work.

Declutter and Secure Your Space

Clutter isn't just physically disruptive—it can also block energy flow in your home. Take time to organize and remove unnecessary items.

During this process, be sure to:

• Store (or throw) away items that don't serve your current needs
• Secure fragile objects that might be affected by smoke from any incents, sage or palo santo
• Create clear pathways throughout your home
• Remove or safely store items of particular energetic significance

Remove ​Existing Spiritual Protections

If you have existing wards, protective symbols, or other spiritual safeguards in place, you'll need to address these before the clearing.

This step requires careful consideration:

• Document the location and purpose of each protection
• Determine which ones need to be temporarily suspended
• Plan how to reestablish these protections after the clearing
• Consider how they might interact with the new energy work
• Give your space permission to be cleansed 

​Energy Landscape

Take time to walk through your space and make detailed notes about areas that need special attention.

Make a note of:

• Spaces where arguments frequently occur
• Rooms that feel heavy or uncomfortable
• Areas where you experience recurring negative emotions
• Spots where energy seems stagnant or blocked
• Places where unexplained phenomena occur

Set Clear Intentions

Perhaps the most crucial preparation step is setting your intentions for the clearing.

​Take time to:

• Write down specific goals for each room or area
• Clarify what energies you want to release
• Identify what positive energies you wish to invite in
• Create a clear vision for how you want your space to feel afterward

Household Agreement

All residents must be on board with the process for the energy clearing to be truly effective.

​This includes:

• Having open discussions about the clearing with everyone living in the space
• Addressing any concerns or reservations
• Explaining the process to skeptical family members
• Getting explicit permission from all household members
• Making sure everyone understands their role in maintaining the clear energy

Preparing for an energy clearing is a thoughtful process that requires attention to both physical and spiritual details. By properly preparing your space, setting clear intentions, and ensuring everyone's agreement, you create the optimal conditions for a successful clearing.

​Remember, the energy in your home affects everyone who lives there, so approaching this work with respect, intention, and thorough preparation will help ensure the best possible outcome for all involved.
