To the splendid James Everest Linn .
May you always be surrounded with sacred space.
Remember sacred space is safe space.
May you be a safe space for others in the years ahead.

Every space has energy. Your home is not only a combination of materials assembled for shelter. Every cubic centimeter of it, whether solid or seemingly empty space, is composed of infinite energy. When you enter a space that makes you immediately feel light or uplifted, or walk into a room where the atmosphere leaves you feeling depleted or drained, you are responding to the energy of the environment. If you notice tension and heaviness in a room after an argument has taken place, you are experiencing a residual energy that can linger in a room long after the argument has ended.

Sometimes energy in a home or office can become stagnant and dull. When this is the case, you may feel tired and listless, or become agitated and angry. However, learning a few simple techniques to cleanse the energy of your home can produce a remarkable and positive influence on the way you feel and on every aspect of your life.

For over 50 years, I have practiced the art of cleansing and harmonizing home energy, a skill that I named space clearing; some people call it home healing, smudging, or home harmonizing. No matter what name is used, present-day space clearing techniques have their source in ancient techniques practiced throughout human history. The methods and tools have varied from one culture to another, but the intent has been the sameto create greater harmony and balance.

Native Americans use drums, rattles, and burning herbs in their rituals. Some Chinese traditions use gongs, chanting, and incense. In medieval Europe, salt and prayers cleared energy, and in the Middle East, smoldering resins such as frankincense and myrrh were used to invite blessings into a home. Some of these traditions have survived virtually unchanged in modern times. The priest swinging an incense censer in a church and the person who throws salt over the shoulder to avert evil are both employing ancient techniques of space clearing, but many more have been lost to time.

These ceremonies that brought vitality to human structures generations ago are once again being used to instill peace and equilibrium in todays homes and businesses. Burning herb bundles has become so mainstream that you can often find supplies at your local health-food store. Many people are finding that these ancient rituals can be adapted very successfully for modern-day use; most important, they are discovering that they work.

Traditional Western businesses are hiring professional space clearers because they have found that doing so increases their sales and productivity. Some of the largest real estate firms are now using the services of space clearers in order to dramatically accelerate property sales. Land management corporations are employing space clearers to perform blessings on land before they build housing developments. People who had never heard of space clearing a year ago are now ringing bells, burning herbs, and chanting mantras because they have found that their homes feel better as a result.

My passion for space clearing comes from the elders in numerous native cultures throughout the world with whom I have spent time and studied. In every culture, these wise wisdom keepers shared with me the immense value of clearing ones personal space and living environment. In addition, I have studied feng shui from various perspectives and wrote the second book in English about feng shui. I have been privileged to be taught space clearing by the Maori in New Zealand, the Aborigines in Australia, the Zulu in Africa, a Brazilian shaman, Lapland healers in Finland, and Native Americans, including those from my own Cherokee heritage.
