TABLE OF CONTENTS

Since 2000 I have been privileged to work withthe Himalayan Sacred Sound instruments both in the arena of privatehealing sessions as well as nationally in the concert setting. Ofthe many things I have experienced and observed during this time,the most important has been the ability of this work to shift theenergy within a person or space in such a way as to make apermanent impact. Working with intention and sound, bringing intoalignment the cognitive and cellular aspects of self, is strongmedicine.

When I started working with the Singing Bowls,Gantas and Tingshas years ago, I had no idea that the work wouldlead me to concerts, authoring books, and creating recordings. Ijust wanted to help people in a way that felt real and effective.One thing led to another, and as I gained confidence and skill inmy work, the results of the work fueled my passion for bringingthis modality to more people in greater arenas.

Sound Healing was relatively unknown when Istarted. A few people were practicing it, but mostly it was quiterare. I traveled to the Himalayas to better acquaint myself withthe cultures these instruments come from so that I would betterunderstand the foundational philosophy of the instruments,especially the Singing Bowls. I believe that understanding thebasic principles of Tibetan Buddhism is very important to knowinghow to use the instruments effectively.

Today, Sound Healing is recognizedinternationally as an effective modality. Although many of thepractitioners I have encountered are using the instruments in apurely intuitive manner, with no formal training or certification,the results are still positive, although nowhere near as effectiveas they could be with training and a better knowledgebase.

It is my hope that this book will help you tounderstand not only the techniques of but also the principlesbehind this space clearing ceremony. Everything is interactive,interrelated energy. We have the gift, the power, and the honor ofbeing able to move, clear and shift that energy when we so wish.Let us do that in a manner that supports and honors all aspects oflife.

Clearing a space is healing a space. For me theprocess is no different than working with people: the techniquediffers but the fundamental principles are similar. We are workingwith the energy that is the foundation of all existence. A spacecontains the memory of everything that has occurred there,including the relationship you have with it, in the same way that aperson contains the conscious or unconscious memory of every eventin their lives. Those memories impact their beliefs, behaviors,attitudes and their physical body. Each memory has its ownfrequency and affects our relationships, health and prosperity in apositive or negative manner.

When you inhabit a space, there are alreadyenergies present that affect you. Also, you would like to createand leave a positive imprint of your energy and intention in thatspace so the space can fulfill its task. The foundational principlebehind the Tibetan instruments used for this ritual is theinterrelationship of all things. The space clearing ritual is apowerful, intimate dialog that is transformative both inside andout. So although you might see your house as a thing or an objectthat is outside of your self, it is as much a part of you as yourskin. This wonderful ceremony helps us to awaken to that realityand make changes that shift the energy within the space and withinour selves, impacting our lives thereafter.

I believe that in a space clearing, it is vitalthat the client and the practitioner are equal partners. I do notsubscribe to the belief that a third party should enter into aspace and chase the negative energies away, and I dont think thatis enough either. There is a constant dialog between the person whoinhabits the space and the space itself, so it is important toengage and empower the resident of the space in the process ofacknowledging what is there, honoring and clearing it, imprintingtheir intentions in the space, and declaring wholeheartedly that itis done. I believe that when an outsider comes to do this and theresident participates only as a bystander, they are giving awaytheir power to the practitioner and to the space. This book teacheshow, with participation of all involved, to own our power andcreate enough energy in a given situation to manifest our heartsdesires.

Why Clear Space?

The power of the Space Clearingceremony arises from your clear and strong desire to enact changein your life. Your intention creates a field of energy that acts asa magnetic force for drawing your desires to you. What you focus onis what you will create.

This is a basic law of attraction. SpaceClearing is an exercise in getting clear about your intentions andbringing in your hearts desire, while also neutralizing priornegative energies that may still be in that space.

Science tells us that everything is made ofenergy moving at different frequencies/ vibrations. We and ourenvironment are in constant vibrational interaction with oneanother and even slight shifts can affect our mood, mental clarity,prosperity, and overall well being.

Space Clearing helps us to develop a moreconscious and intentional manner regarding the space we live andwork in as well as what we choose to place in that space (includingour thoughts and behaviors). Energetically changing the context inwhich we place our selves changes the circumstances of our livesbecause we have created new pathways for energy to flow.

What we want is to raise and maintain thehighest vibration in our person and in our environment. SpaceClearing is a first step toward achieving this, but after theceremony there must be an understanding of what nourishes theenvironment and a commitment to keeping the energy high.

In segments of his writings from TheProphet, Kahlil Gibran, the illustrious Lebanese mystic andpoet, says:

Your house is your largerbody.

It grows in the sun and sleeps inthe stillness of the night, and it is not dreamless. Does not yourhouse dream? And dreaming, leave the city for grove or hilltop?

And tell me people of Orphalese,what have you in these houses? And what is it you guard withfastened doors?

Have you peace, the quiet urgethat reveals your power?

Have you remembrances, theglimmering arches that span the summits of the mind?
