Earth energies or space clearing involves clearing away the energetic clutter in one’s house or office that can produce major even dramatic improvements in the environment you live in.

Do-It Yourself Space Clearing

Clearing the clutter in your home or office can have tremendous positive impact on your life and how you enjoy the environment around  you.

How you behave when you get home and how you arrange your home and office spaces can make a tremendous difference in the flow of energy.  Here are some of her key recommendations on how to clean up clutter and the bad energy where you live based on the principles of the ancient Chinese practice.

1. Energy follows thought—so watch your thoughts. Leave the bad energy behind and be aware of the thoughts you bring into the home.

ACTION: Control the energy you let into your home.  Respect your own space.  Take off your shoes and leave them at the front door.  Consciously leave your worries of the day at the threshold and gain from experience and knowledge of the ancient cultures who left their shoes at the door as a potent symbol of leaving the worries of the day at the door, and not bringing them into the home.

2.  Thoughts linger in an environment.  Clean out the room of bad energy.

ACTIONS:  Clean up a room physically and clear them out through ceremony, sage, smudging, intention, sacred sounds…

Today, our modern cities are testaments to a world addicted to unbridled growth at any cost. Electromagnetic stresses, pollution, and negative vibrational energy currents plague us in a manner unprecedented in human history. Under these conditions, is it still possible to create sacred space?

The ancient practice of yoga, of integration of mind-body-spirit can harmonize us. The same principles can be applied to our environments as to our selves. As in ancient times, the utilization of yoga techniques to become attuned to nature can help us regain this lost inherent wisdom of how to live in harmony.

Learn how the yogic practices of meditation, sacred movement, sound, and ceremony can also create balance, flow, prosperity and peace in our homes:

The following yogic practices, when used with intention, will do much to restore balance and harmony to any home, making it a peaceful sanctuary where Heaven and Earth unite:

Clear the Mind: One of the first steps in any yogic regimen is to clear and still the mind. This begins to align us with the Source of our Being. Similarly when we clear our homes of the external clutter, we allow the vibrations of a natural order to permeate our surroundings.

Breath: Perhaps one of the most powerful tools in yoga is the use of the breath to bring our consciousness back in tune with the Divine Cosmic Breath. This Cosmic Breath is the rhythm of Life itself. The cycles of the seasons represent the inhale and exhale of Life itself. In the winter, when the force of Life is receding, it is not a good time to start new activities, but to dissolve old attachments and connections, to go within and recede as well. In the spring, when Life is bursting forth with abundance, it is a time for new projects and activities as we are aligned with the flow of Life at that time. By synchronizing our home activities with the timings and cycles of Nature, we align ourselves with that Cosmic Breath, or pulsation of Life.

Balance: Achieving balance of mind, body and spirit is a core aim of any yogic practice. In our homes, this is achieved by paying attention to the five elements: earth (body), water (emotions), air (mind), fire (spirit), ether (prana or sound). Become mindful that your home has a balanced representation of each of the elements. A home that is predominantly governed by one of these elements over the others will bring its inhabitants out of balance due to the undue influence of that element.

Movement: In yoga, certain movements of the body can stimulate the production of certain hormones, and restore the flow of Ch’i in the body. Likewise, homes that incorporate aspects of sacred movement will rejuvenate the environment. For instance, in properties containing labyrinths, there is a curious absence of negative earth energy currents on those properties. Similarly, rituals such as sacred dance, like the twirling of the Sufi dances, when done with awareness and intention, can transform negative vibrational energies on a property.

Sound: Nada Yoga means “union through sound.” It is the ancient spiritual art and science of inner transformation through sound and tone. Russill Paul, author of The Yoga of Sound, states, “Through Nada Yoga, we can fine-tune our bodies and our minds to resonate with the harmony in all of creation, from atoms and cells to flowers and planets.”

The Vedas state that mantras chanted continually have the power to purify and rejuvenated the environment. When we offer sound as vibrational medicine for our homes, the result is a harmonizing of our environment with that “music of the spheres.”

Form: The asanas of yoga were first devised to mirror the forms in nature. In so doing, our bodies and minds were put into tune with that natural order. The same is true of architecture that patterns the harmonics found in Nature. Nature does not have straight angles, it flows in curves and spirals, and so when we see examples of spirals, like a winding staircase, or the flow of water in a waterfall, we feel an instant harmony in environments that pattern Nature. Certain mathematical harmonics attuned to Nature achieve similar results. The mathematical harmonizing with nature was a main key to the building of the Cathedrals and temples throughout Europe, China, Egypt and India.

Ceremony: In yoga, the yajnas, or fire sacrifices, are a ceremonial bridge between the inner and outer worlds, between human and the divine. Fire transforms all things into their most subtle essence. Whether applying the spiritual fire of spiritual practice (tapas) or the actual fire of a candle flame, fire transmutes and refines both our inner and outer environments. The ritual of placing a problem at the fire of a candle each night relieves the mind of the problem and one awakes feeling refreshed and relieved of the burden offered to the sacrificial fire. Yagnas like Agnihotra, dedicated to the god of fire, are known to purify the environment on physical as well as subtle levels. They have been shown to lower pathogenic viruses, pollution and even crime in areas where performed. Imagine the effect of yagnas performed in our homes. Sacred blessings of the land, releasing of the energies and traumas of the past, giving thanks to the ancestors, releasing all prior spirits on the property, all are ceremonies which purify and cleanse the vibrations of our homes when done with mindfulness.

While times have changed, basic principles have not. Ancient yogic techniques of nada yoga harnessing the subtle vibrations of sound, asanas designed to mirror Nature’s perfection, yagnas to purify and redeem the past, and meditation tuning us into the divine current of life around us-these techniques work not only to refine our own inner subtle vibrations, but also the vibrations of the space where we live, and our planet as well. Some of the most common changes that people have experienced when harmonizing their space with their environment include more energy, better sleep, enhanced learning among students, improved relationships, increased financial flow, increased plant growth, and better health among animals in the area.

Now is a crucial time to make our homes our temples–places where the sacred vibrations radiate out to heal our families and communities. While our modern times have created more complex problems, they have also created different solutions to the same age-old quest: creating sacred space on earth. By harmonizing the vibrations of our space, and creating sacredness among the mundane, we can transform our homes into sanctuaries of harmony.

She has taught thousands around the world how to create sacred space in their homes and cities through connecting with the divine in nature and ourselves.

“There is no order of magnitude in miracles.”
–A Course in Miracles

I love that quote more than any other. Perhaps because so many of us at one time or another have experienced what we would call a miracle. Having experienced a “miracle” at any level of magnitude, it confirms for us that much greater things are possible, that miracles are really just the working out of Laws that are as yet unknown. So the natural question becomes, how to we begin to access that state more often and consciously? And yet, as feng shui consultants we are doing it all the time, yet perhaps not consciously.

In feng shui, we are working to access a hidden matrix of our space, a hologram, a blueprint, a morphegenic field, the devic consciousness, the spirit of place–by whatever name it is called, it is this hidden energetic LIFE behind the form that our cures and ceremonies are addressing that is responsible for the miraculous changes we observe when we see a shift in an environment. As such, we are accessing what I call the Creative Matrix of a space and learning to shift it alchemically for positive benefit.

The movies “What the Bleep” and “The Secret” have beautifully illustrated that we live in a world of vibrations. All thoughts and feelings can be translated into vibrations.  If those thoughts and feelings are of fear and survival, anger and hate, then this is the vibration we are emitting and consequently the reality we are creating for ourselves. However, we can reprogram those vibrations anytime we choose and as such, we then access a new holographic matrix. Our cures do not hold intrinsic value in and of themselves, they are not magical potions or elixers–but hold an INTENT we offer to the space. Since these cures have a long tradition and history of their use, since they have a collective consensus of their potency and effect, there is a matrix or grid established about them and when we use them, we access THAT matrix of possibilities.

However, it is our thoughts, feelings and vibratory essence which these cures and talismen are anchoring and tapping into. WE are the source, not just the agent for the changes we are affecting in our environments.  Physicists have discovered that the smallest particle of “matter” in our Universe isn’t matter at all! The electron, which seems to behave as both a particle AND a wave, does so according to how it is being observed! When scientist test it to see if it is a wave, that’s how it responds. When they test it to see if it is a particle, then THAT is how it responds. So the observer not only affects the experiment, the observer actually DETERMINES THE EXPERIMENT! In fact, quantum physicists have now concluded that the electron doesn’t even have an orbit, but circles in a cloud of potentiality. It is not until it is OBSERVED that it chooses a particular orbit. So Flip Wilson’s quirp from the 1970′s “What you see is what you get” is proving more true that we ever knew.

What does this mean to us on a day to day level? Do our thoughts about a space actually affect, and even determine what we experience in a space? Is it possible that our belief in the effectiveness of a particular feng shui cure is AS RESPONSIBLE for the effectiveness we observe as the cure itself?  According to quantum physics, yes. We are at the place where metaphysics and quantum physics are sharing common ground.

So then thoughts of love, peace, charity, hope, faith, trust, prayer––all equally accessible to each and every one of us daily– invoke a vibratory energy, one that accesses another vibratory state, the chosen “orbit” of our electron making up our universe. As such, the vibrations we hold in our hearts and minds are the key to what manifests in our lives, not something out there somewhere. The world originates within us despite the outer appearance. The outer is simply the reflection of our inner state.

The ramifications of this awareness go far beyond our feng shui practice, since as “quantum feng shui practitioners” the Earth is our client with each and every situation presenting the same possibility for shifting the holographic matrix of its creation. So, during this time of choosing new leaders, of looking for new, more fulfilling economic models, of healing the ravaged parts of the Earth, and of demanding that America live up to the true spirit upon which this country was founded, our thoughts are of even more importance than ever as they create the new hologram allowing these ideals to express themselves.

We are living in a time when ancient principles that have been espoused for ages from Vedic texts to Native American philosophies are being validated by science–a meeting point between science and spirituality where these principles are being tested and proven to be true.

Many have heard of the research in Japan by Masaru Emoto that revealed water changes its physical and molecular structure when exposed to different sounds, words, thoughts, pictures and prayer. Before and after photographs of the water crystal of a polluted dam revealed that the structure went from a chaotic structure when first sampled, then transformed into a beautiful symmetrical snowflake-like crystal when a group of people sent their prayers to the dam.

Similar events have occurred throughout the world as a result of simple earth healing. Using the power of conscious intent, groups around the world have effectively proven that it is possible to restore balance to distorted weather patterns, crime rates, reduce drug use in cities, reduce earthquake activity, lower water and air pollution levels, restore marine and bird life to formerly polluted areas and even affect political and economic outcomes for positive aims. All of this resulting, not through governmental programs, or massive financial investments, but through the focused intent of small grassroots groups around the world.

Recent “natural” disasters of hurricanes in the gulf, and the tsunami of Indonesia, remind us that we are in a very intimate, and dependent relationship with Nature. The Native cultures throughout the world believed that such catastrophic events are Nature’s response to our collective thoughts and feelings.  As such, there can be no better time to access our power of our conscious intent to shift this “creative matrix” of which we are an intimate part.

Evidence of groups around the world working with focused intent alongside the research of Emoto in Japan, Heart Math, Bruce Lipton and others confirm what the ancients have taught for centuries. Energy follows thought; our physical world is merely the reflection of our energy world. By working with this unseen matrix of creation, we can alter the physical manifestations and outcomes. We have the power to affect our inner energy worlds, and in fact we do it with each and every thought. So what do we want to dream? What kind of a world do we want to create? The choice is still ours.

Today Global warming is at the forefront of consciousness: energy shortages, power crises, petro-chemical pollutants, ozone depletion, hazardous waste, nuclear radiation, bioengineered crops – all the nightmares of a technological world raging forward against natural laws.  In the midst of this technological onslaught, we have become conditioned to believe that technology is the inherently evil nemesis of nature forever destined to be Yin and Yang at incompatible odds with one another.  Our modern society perpetuates this belief that one must be sacrificed for the other.  This belief has left available only the illusory options of either abandoning the “urban” life for huts in the forest, and cots in the ashram, or supporting a society which plunders natural resources to sustain the modern lifestyle of our unabated modern day consumerism.

It is the fundamental myth of the technology-nature trade off which is being overturned by recent scientific and spiritual discoveries showing what ancient cultures have long understood; that one can live in harmony with nature and access Her secrets in order to sustain complex, rich, diverse societies while still keeping in harmony with the web of life.

The ancient art of Feng Shui revealed the significance the Chinese assigned to keeping one’s life in harmony and balance with the elements of nature such as the wind, mountains, and water in order to have a healthy and prosperous life.  the architectural wonders of ancient pyramid temples astound  modern day scientists who cannot with their current technologies reproduce their amazing results.  Recent research reveals that Tibetan monks utilized sound to levitate large objects.

While pyramid structures in Egypt are discovered to have resonator dishes which suggest that they too had knowledge of utilizing the power of sound possibly to lift the heavy blocks used to build their pyramids thousands of years ago.  Very complex cities of over 300,000 inhabitants were discovered in the Colombian mountains that were designed in such harmony with nature and the elements that thousands of years later in a rain forest they hardly show signs of erosion.  Ancient temples constructed with the sacred geometries underlying life have been shown to neutralize geomagnetic stresses that today are found to contribute to the onset of cancer in over 92% of the cased studied.  (Dr. Hartmann of Germany was the first to make this connection and since numerous other studies have confirmed these correlations with noxious Earth energies and cancer).  These ancient cultures knew a type of technology that aligned with Nature in order to access Her secret powers and built their societies in harmony with that wisdom.

Today, our reliance on processed and agriculturally modified foods have placed so many steps in between the production of our food and the end use that it is easily forgotten that Nature is the source of all life, synthetic or natural, on our planet.  We are deluded into believing that the MacRib sandwich comes from some hidden MacDonald’s ranch, that the strawberries we buy in the store in the middle of winter are somehow naturally grown.  The levels of chemicals used today in the agri-business of growing foods, and the processing of the foods we eat have spawned a whole new industry of pharmaceutical needs to offset the rash of diseases which plague our modern culture.  The polluted waters have invented a need for chemically treating our drinking water, and a bottled water industry that sells what used to be free to all for more than the cost of a gallon of gasoline.  We have been using more of the same kind of destructive counter-nature technologies to fix the problems which the same kind of technology has created.

What is needed is both a return to the source of Life itself, through realignment with Nature and her laws to restore our societies and lives to health.  We cannot expect this from governments who all over the world have helped to sponsor and create the problems of unbridled growth at the expense of precious natural resources.  As my favorite bumper sticker says, “if voting did anything it would be illegal.”  As long as money and power are held to be supreme by our world leaders, it is unrealistic to expect to see cooperation from governments in this area.

Fortunately, it is well within the reach of each of us to find a way to return to an alignment with Nature again, and we can do this in numerous ways in each of our lives.  Alternative energy sources from solar to water powered systems abound which hold the potential to “get off the grid” for most individuals in the western world today.  Technologies which study the life force of water in its natural state, using nature as their guide are producing up to 250% more crop yield with 30% less fertilizers. The Vortex Water Energiser from England, utilizes a form of water called “imploded” water based upon Viktor Schauberger’s research.

Dan Carlson, creator of Sonic Bloom, discovered that the birds’ songs triggered blooming cycles in plants. This method utilizing sounds in nature to stimulate plant growth and blooming cycles are achieving amazing results far surpassing that produced either by bioengineered methods, or chemical fertilizers and pesticides.  The Flow Forms of Rudolph Steiner utilize the vortex mechanics of water purification and revitalization which pattern the natural flows of water, are producing results throughout Europe for sewage treatment and without the use of harmful chemicals; which far surpass traditional and more costly sewage treatment systems typically used today.

Gardens such as Findhorn align with the intelligence of Nature produce 40lb cabbages on the worst possible soil defying all traditional logic.  Recent technologies such as the Harmonizer tool resonate only the sound patterns of the water molecule through a field of the universal archetypal geometries of life and are able to reverse water and atmospheric pollution for pennies on the dollar over conventional methods, and without adverse effects to the environment.

These are just a few of the Earth friendly, or “eco-technologies” which see nature as their mentor instead of their personal treasure chest.  By utilizing these and similar naturally aligned technologies currently available to the average person, we can remake our society brick by brick, house by house, garden by garden.  Mother Teresa said, “Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.”

Earth energies or space clearing expert Christan Hummel says that clearing away the energetic clutter in one’s house or office can produce major even dramatic improvements in the environment you live in.

Do-It Yourself Space Clearing

Clearing the clutter in your home or office can have tremendous positive impact on your life and how you enjoy the environment around you.

How you behave when you get home and how you arrange your home and office spaces can make a tremendous difference in the flow of energy.  Here are some of her key recommendations on how to clean up clutter and the bad energy where you live based on the principles of the ancient Chinese practice.

1. Energy follows thought—so watch your thoughts. Leave the bad energy behind and be aware of the thoughts you bring into the home.  

ACTION: Control the energy you let into your home.  Respect your own space.  Take off your shoes and leave them at the front door.  Consciously leave your worries of the day at the threshold and gain from experience and knowledge of the ancient cultures who left their shoes at the door as a potent symbol of leaving the worries of the day at the door, and not bringing them into the home.

2.  Thoughts linger in an environment.  Clean out the room of bad energy.

ACTIONS:  Clean up a room physically and clear them out through ceremony, sage, smudging, intention, sacred sounds…

3.  You carry energy with you wherever we go.  We take the troubles and emotional upsets of our office home with us even if we leave our papers behind.

ACTIONS:  Practice letting it go.  Exercise, bath, relax, meditate, do a cleansing ritual, when you shower or take a bath add your intention that all the stresses of the day go down the drain, light a candle at the end of the day to symbolically “burn” your worries and problems of the day…etc.

4.  Past actions/traumas/emotions leave a residue and can be cleared with intention. 

ACTION:  Simple ceremonies can help to lift the old vibrations and leave the space clear to receive the highest intentions. You can slowly and steadily overcome the bad energy left by old battles, previous deaths, divorce, and family difficulties and other hardships.

5. Clutter blocks energy flow.    Your home is like a mirror of our body. It has a circulation system and when life energy flows freely, then the environment is healthy.   Your home will reflect the energy and intention you put into it.

ACTION:  Clear it out. Make decisions.  Put it away until you can decide. Keep the pathways open and clear so the life energy can circulate in the home.

Do some emotional release work, a closure ceremony, perhaps one in which you feel gratitude, appreciation and love for the person in question, then let their items go.  Keep one or two representative items, and give the others to special people, family members, friends, special organizations close to your heart. Let grandma’s cups circulate in the community, not stay locked up in your living room.
