Clearing your home of unwanted energies (even ghosts:)

Clearing, Blessing and Cloaking your Home:
You do not need to hire somebody to do it.

When we think of clearing our homes of bad energies or wayward spirits we often right away feel we are not capable of doing it ourselves.  Sure, we can hire a shaman, ghost buster, psychic, or spiritualist to perform such ceremonies and yet we are also capable of this ability.
    To clear your home is simply to bathe it with Universal Light energy.  There are specific ways you can do this, but the intention is what truly makes the cleansing of one’s space possible.
    Items needed to clear your home are:
1)    You, with a clear mind and balanced attitude.
2)    Sage, sweet grass or a natural incense like Nagchampa or Ting shaws

Basic Cleansing Procedure
Take the time to do this when you have about an hour or so.  Be thorough the first time you do the procedure.  You will feel a difference.
1)    Stand in the center of your home and think of what you believe in spiritually.
2)    Imagine white light surrounding you and know it is there to help you in clearing your home.  White light is considered to be the purist light of the universe or God.
3)    Light your sweet grass, sage or incense.  Remember to blow out the flame to get the incense or bunch smoldering.
4)    Move clockwise around your home, walking along each wall slowly either saying a prayer, a mantra, or simply thinking loving thoughts.
5)    As you walk along the perimeter of each room, let the smoke rise up to the ceiling.  It is believed that the smoke blesses the home and clears the energy, along with your love for your home.  If you choose to use ting shaws, then gently ring them as you walk through your home.  It is believed that their vibration will clear your home of any unwanted or negative energies,
6)    Once you have walked though every room on every floor, return to the center of your home.  Focus of the clarity of your home and imagine your home a beacon of pure, bright white light.  Imagine a gauzy black sparkly cheesecloth gently float out of the sky to “cloak” your home.  It is thought that cloaking keeps wayward spirits away and keep the energy in the home clear longer.
7)    Repeat cleansing a minimum of once a year, but note, if there is a lot of arguing in the home or stressful situation, clearing maybe required monthly, weekly or even daily. 
Quick Cleanse Methods
1)    Daily in the morning you may light your incense and leave it burn with a quick prayer, mantra or loving thought.  For Ting shaws, ring them gently once, twice or even three times, letting their song permeate the space.  These procedures will work to keep the regular living space clear, as well as a work space if need be. Note that this method will not clear stagnant energies out of corners or closets, it’s best if you still do a full cleansing of your home each year. 
2)    Quick cleanse method two is to walk quicker though each room, to lessen the time, this will work to keep the energy moving and clear negative energies from and argument or other stressful situation.  Think pure thoughts while doing this procedure.  For Ting shaws, enter each room, stand in the centre and ring them once only to quicken the procedure.  Most people feel that this will not replace the thorough yearly cleanse though, but will prove helpful to keep the home’s energy flowing.

You are able to clear your home simply because it is your home.  If you do not own the entire home, then you are entitled, by the Universe to clear your own living space.
It is always best not to clear another’s home for them, allow them to clear it themselves (unless you are one who does home clearing as part of your spiritual skills).
There are more in-depth forms of home clearing available for you to learn, if that appeals to you.  For most of us though, these methods will serve our daily lives.  You do not need to feel obligated to hire a “professional”, that person for your home is you.
