Never do space clearing with babies or children under eight years old present. Please be sure to make arrangements for them to be taken care of elsewhere during the ceremony. Why it’s not OK to have children present The main reason it’s not OK to have young children, and especially babies, present during a space clearing ceremony is because they are vulnerable to picking up energetic debris that is cleared during the ceremony. They are also very sensitive to energy shifts and may become unsettled while the space clearing is going on, which means you would have to stop what you are doing to at ..read more

After a divorce or a break-up, you want a fresh start. But if you continue living in the home you shared, the imprints of your relationship will still be there. When a couple splits up, the person who moves out has to find a new place to live. That can be pretty tough. But if you are the person left behind, you will have a different kind of problem to contend with. You will be left with all the energy imprints in the home of everything that happened there. Those imprints will be in the walls, the furniture and especially in the bed you shared together. The history of good times and bad times ..read more

There have been so many developments in the art of space clearing since I wrote my first book about it that Richard and I are currently doing a complete rewrite. Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui was written in 1995 and published in 1996. It has sold over a million copies in 16 languages. My next book, Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui was published two years later in 1998. It has sold over 2 million copies in 26 languages and continues to sell well to this day. Both books have become “must-read” classics in their respective fields. Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui has been regularly upda ..read more

Balinese bells are extraordinary. There are no other bells in the world that come close to their beautifully pure, resonant tones or that are so effective for space clearing purposes. Balinese bells are extraordinary. There are no other bells in the world that come close to the beautifully pure, resonant tones they have, or that can be used so effectively for space clearing. Each is handcrafted and has its own unique sound. It feels very special to own one. If you’re considering buying a Balinese space clearing bell or already have one, here’s some helpful information ..read more

Have you ever wondered why it feels so good to sleep into your own bed after you’ve been away travelling? It’s because your bed holds your own personal energy imprints. The reason it feels so good to sleep in your own bed is partly to do with the comfort factor of your own mattress, pillow, bedding, and so on. You have chosen them specifically to suit you. But there is also a deeper reason that I have discovered as a result of conducting space clearing consultations around the world for over 40 years. It’s all to do with understanding how energies are imprinted. Energy imprinting We all  ..read more

Most people spend a third of their life in bed, so mattresses are the most heavily energetically imprinted items of furniture in any home. Regular bed thwacking can change that. Bed thwacking is not a service that Richard or I offer professionally because it is something most people can easily do for themselves. All you need is a sturdy baseball bat or something similar, and some enthusiastic application, as you can see from this photo of Richard, who is a master bed thwacker! Why do bed thwacking If you’re not familiar with the concept of bed thwacking, you may be wondering what the point of ..read more

The spaces we occupy have a profound effect on us, for better or for worse. As Winston Churchill so succinctly put it, ‘We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.’ There is a world of difference between living in a place you call home and truly energetically owning the space of it. Compatibility with land energies I first discovered the importance of this many years ago when I was space clearing the house of a couple who had built their dream home in a beautiful location in the US, but try as they might, they and their young children did not feel at home there. They called me in to hel ..read more

Your home is a reflection of yourself and everything in it says something about you, whether you have made conscious choices about the things you keep around you or not. Everything in a person’s home is a reflection of something inside them, but this does not mean that this is all they are. Buried deep inside there may well be latent talents that have never emerged or yearnings and desires that have never been expressed. To put it another way, what’s on the outside is always on the inside, but what’s on the inside is not always on the outside. I have seen this many times in the houses I’ve vi ..read more

One of the primary uses of space clearing is to clear out the energies of previous occupants when you move into a new home. It can make a phenomenal difference. When you go for a meal in a restaurant, you expect a clean table, not one with other people’s food spills still on it. You order your food. You expect clean plates and eating utensils, not ones encrusted with previous customer’s meals. You move into a new home. You expect a clean space to give you a fresh start. But if anyone has lived there before you, this is usually not what you get. You get the equivalent of a dirty table or plate ..read more
