Tips for Springtime Space Clearing
by Christan Hummel
 As we enter into Spring, it is a time to clear out the old energies of the past to create a fresh space for the new seeds of our intentions to sprout. The start of Spring presents an opportunity to turn our attention to the new growth, new potentials, and new life beckoning, and clear out the energetic remnants lingering from the past, for a fresh new start. What better place to start than in our own homes.
While feng shui and space clearing have become a multi-billion dollar industry catering to the likes of corporate CEOs as well as Hollywood celebs, there are some simple techniques that any novice can use to spring clean the energies of their home or office, in preparing the space energetically for the year ahead. These are simple spring cleaning tips that will allow you to clear your space of the vibrational imprints of the past. Although these tips are by no means comprehensive, they will provide a quick and easy way to align the energies of your environment with your intentions for the year.
The following "Six C's of Space Clearing" will empower you to sweep out the old and make way for the new growth of Spring in your environment.
1. Clutter: To our subconscious mind, clutter triggers images of stagnation, stuck energy and places where Life doesn't move. It usually represents the things we are resisting and where we don't want to put our attention. Simply put: clean out the clutter. Piles of laundry, papers, boxes, mail...whatever it is, when we see clutter, our mind equates it with chaos and dead energy. So make a point to dive into your clutter like a heat seeking missile. Go straight to it, you know where it lives! Put it away, find a home for it, if you use a pendulum or know dowsing, you can use it to help decisions about it, address it! Once you move the stuck energy in your home, you will be surprised at how it moves the stuck energy in your life.
2. Corners: Keep them especially free of clutter as corners are the places where the Life energy or Ch'i of our environment comes to a stop like traffic at a four way stop sign. Co-create with your environment to discover the plants, artwork, or objects in your corners which will move the energy: the running water of a fountain, the flow of air represented by wind chimes, or even the life sustaining energy of a plant can be enough to keep the energy moving and flowing instead of stagnating in your corners. Follow your intuition and allow it to tell you what will make the space feel more harmonious, peaceful and joyful and redirect the dead energies of a corner. These energy transformers for the corners of your home or office will have a powerful effect, as your corners are special energy spots in the house...
