Space clearing refers to the practice of energetically cleansing and revitalizing a physical space to remove any negative or stagnant energy and promote a sense of balance, harmony, and positivity. This practice is based on the belief that spaces can accumulate energetic residues from emotions, thoughts, and events that occur within them, which may affect the well-being and experiences of those inhabiting or visiting the space.

Space clearing techniques can vary widely across cultures and traditions, but they generally involve rituals or actions aimed at purifying and revitalising the energy of a space. The space clearing methods we commonly use include:

1. Scent: Burning incense and wafting the smoke throughout the space to cleanse it of negative energy. Our Feng Shui Masters use organic pure incense handmade by a family that have supplied temples in Asia for generations using only the finest essential oils and zatars. This provides a gentle yet firm shift of energies, inviting auspiciousness and chasing out inauspicious energies. 

2. Sound Cleansing: Using the Buddhist vajra and bell and sometimes singing bowls to produce sound vibrations that clear and harmonise the energy of the space. Places that have witnessed more than their fair share of arguments and foul language may especially benefit from this type of hitting the energetic reboot button.

3. Consecrated Talisman Water: Sprinkling Taoist Fu talisman water with cleansing and purifying properties, in the entire house. Fu talisman water is especially effective against noxious qi, foul energies and also where unwelcome spiritual activity is suspected. The most commonly employed is the Great Compassion Dharani water (Da Bei Zhou shui) also there are others that may be employed if circumstances warrant, for example Golden Mother’s Nine Golden Phoenixes Destroying Filth fu talisman water.

4. Visualisation and Intention Setting: Using the power of Buddhist visualisation and intention to remove, clear and uplift the energy of the space,  accompanied by mantras, prayers and affirmations. Since the fundamental intention of all Buddhist practice is to bring peace and happiness to all sentient beings, this makes this step an excellent antidote for all sorts of combative or conflict energies.

5. Space Blessing Rituals: The Four Yogic Intents of Buddhist practice are purification, enrichment, harmonisation and pacification and our rituals will bless the place to receive each of these.
