There are 21 steps to basic space clearing and the it only takes a few hours to perform. It addresses household dirt and grime, clutter and negative energies left by
other occupants.
Some steps to take...
Clean all surfaces to remove grime, dirt, dust and other unwanted mess.
Walk through the spaces of your home ringing a metal wind chime, or simply clap your hands.
Burn some fresh fragrances to clear out the atmosphere of indoor living that accumulates over the winter.
Hold your own Pagan smudging ritual. This is the art of cleansing both yourself
and your environment, using simple ritual and ceremony. You'll need to make a mudge stick
by cutting eight 12in lengths of safe(for wisdom, calming and healing) and tying them with cotton to a sturdy stick, so the cotton comes about half way up. Hang it upside down somewhere warm todry out. For the ceremony itself, light the end of your smudge stick and let it burn until the end starts to smoulder. Then extinguish the flame so it smokes. Smudging expert Jane Alexander then recommends chanting 'Sacred sage drive all negativity from my heart and take away everything unworthy and impure', before wafting the smoke towards your heart. Then trail the smoke over your head and down the front of your body - imagine it lifting away negative thoughts, emotions and energies. Finally, bring the smoke down the back of your body towards the floor, visualising negativity being taken away into the air.
