Much like your house needs to be cleaned "literally" on a regular basis, it also needs to be cleaned energetically.

Energy in certain spaces can build up a "residue" if you will, and the energy in that space becomes stagnant after a while - which can have several negative effects on the people who enter that space.

There are many ways to "renew" the energy in your home. One which I probably enjoy doing the most - and do at least every few months, is to rearrange the layout.

Not only is this method the most fun of all the options, but in the process of re-arranging you are also cleaning physically, which in itself disperses stale energy!

When you have taken the time to clear out and re-organise a particular space, you can LITERALLY FEEL the renewed energy when you walk into that space! It is amazing!

There are many other ways to clear out stale energy in a place, but my advice is that you start with the "revamp" and then do the others.

**OTHER SPACE CLEARING TIPS**

Dust the corners in rooms. The action of "wafting" the duster up and down breaks up the energetic build up - which is often quite predominant in corners. (high and low)

Clean your windows regularly and add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to the window cleaning mixture. Cleaning your windows allows stale energy out and lets renewed energy in. In addition to the cleaning of windows, the simple act of opening your curtains and windows and allowing the fresh air and sunlight in works WONDERS!!

Smudging is also very effective for clearing negative energy from a space. (If you are unfamiliar... A smudge stick is essentially a bundle of dried herbs - most commonly sage - which have been tied together with string.) The smudge stick is then burnt in the preferred space. It is the actual smoke which permeates the room that does the "job"

Chimes and bells are wonderful tools for constantly clearing energy. I personally love the strings of little brass Indian bells as their sound is so delicate and beautiful. I hang strings of them on all our doors so every time you enter or exit they do their thing :)

Sound is also an amazing way of renewing the energy in a space. Especially nature sounds or classical music

Now, this one is a no brainer really - but it would be wrong not to mention it... PLANTS, PLANTS, PLANTS!!! Plants in a room will forever transform the energy in that space!!!
