Energy Maintenance for the Home

Due to some interstate enquiries on House Energy Cleansing I thought that “How to Cleanse the Energetic Atmosphere of the Home” would be a good topic for this newsletter.

Our home and work place, like us, picks up the energy vibrations emitted from the people living, visiting or working within the building. Since all solid structures are made up of atoms, protons and neutrons, they attract and store all emitted energy vibrations. The only thing, that I am aware of, which removes this stored energy is the House Cleansing Rite, but everyone can maintain the actual flow of energy and its build-up within the spaces they spend time in. In order to do this you will need to buy either a Grandfather Sage Smudge Stick or Charcoal and Frankincense resin; (available from Lotus Oils, Armstrong St. Ballarat). I personally find that burning Frankincense on a lit charcoal block a more powerful method to cleanse any heavy or discordant energies from a room’s atmosphere; though either method works well. The smudge stick is perhaps easier to use, as you only need to light the end of it, make sure its burning properly before you blow out the flame, allowing the smoke the of the Grandfather Sage to cleanse the area. To use Frankincense, you will need a small heat resistant plate or bowl, preferably with a handle so that it is easy to hold and your fingers won’t get burnt. The charcoal needs to be lit; I do this by holding the charcoal in metal cooking tongs over the gas flame of the stove, until it is glowing. Charcoal can also be lit while held over a candle flame; this takes longer to get it glowing, but if you don’t have a gas flame it is a good alternative. It is a good idea to have some dried earth or sand in the bottom of the plate/bowl to aid with heat absorption of the lit charcoal. The lit charcoal is then placed in your heat resistant plate/bowl on top of the earth/sand. When your charcoal is ready, place the Frankincense resin onto its centre, the Frankincense will then begin to produce a cleansing smoke.

With charcoal and Frankincense or smudge stick in hand, circle each room of your home or building, making sure your intent is focused on cleansing all heavy and discordant energies away from the space you are in. It is helpful to chant, either aloud or silently; “with Fire and Air I cleanse this room of all discordant, unhealthy and heavy energies; so mote it be!”  This will work and you will feel a difference; the space will feel lighter and more harmonious. It is important that your intent is focused on cleansing the space; as this sends out thought energy waves that enhance the cleansing properties of the Frankincense or Grandfather Sage.

Note: If you are a Level II Reiki Channel, you can draw the Reiki power symbol in the four directions of each room and that will connect your space with the Divine Energies, filling the space with healthy healing energy.
