The energy in our home was beginning to feel a little stagnant and less than harmonious .<\/p>\n<p>Any time I start\u00a0 feeling unusually tired, frazzled or more out of sorts than normal,\u00a0 I know it&#8217;s time to clear out the old negative energies that have accumulated and get some positive energy flowing around the space I call home.<\/p>\n<p>I decided this morning was the perfect time to get started. I began by physically cleaning our house and then started clearing out the clutter that has accumulated and piled up over the past week.<\/p>\n<p>Now it was time for the fun part of space clearing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2453\" title=\"Sage smudging shell with feather fan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sageshellfforweb1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sageshellfforweb1.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/sageshellfforweb1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I began smudging the whole house with luscious white sage, and then moved on to playing my Tibetan bowls which really gets the energy moving. You can also use bells or simply clap your hands anywhere you sense stagnate energy. To locate any other unwanted energies in your home you can use a pendulum or dowsing rods.<\/p>\n<p>The bedroom, one of the most important rooms in the house is where we sleep, dream,\u00a0  receive healing and messages from our spirit guides.\u00a0 A good place for practicing good Feng Shui.\u00a0 Some quick cures for a bedroom are\u00a0 soothing colors to create balance, plenty of fresh air, and several levels of lighting. Things that destroy good Feng Shui energy in a bedroom are computers and televisions. You may also use chimes, bells  or a crystal tuner to clear your bedroom of any distracting energies.<\/p>\n<p>If you experience disturbing dreams or nightmares, you may find it helpful to change the sheets on your bed the next morning, it helps to shift the energy. A beautiful sage woman gave me this tip years ago and I find it works for me.Thank goodness I don&#8217;t have these dreams very  often. One of my favorite bedtime rituals is to lightly spray lavender  water over my pillow just before going to sleep. Lavender or sage water is great for clearing and may be used instead of incense.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to tidy up any sacred altars you might have as these are all about spirit and the beautiful healing work you do. Your home is your sanctuary and as such, it&#8217;s important to love the things you have around you. Clear away anything that does not feed your spirit and soul, and strive to create a harmonious and supportive energy field where your beautiful lovely goddess self can thrive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2468\" title=\"Our salt lamp *entry way\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/saltlampweb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/saltlampweb.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.gaiasgarden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/saltlampweb-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And now, last but not least, Himalayan salt lamps are an amazing generator of negative ions and fill your home with fabulous healing energy. I heard all kinds of stories about how salt rocks restore your energy, enhance relaxation, and promote healing. When we brought our first one home years ago I was amazed at how well it worked and we decided to get another one for our bedroom.When we come home and open the front door the first thing that greets us is the glowing warm amber colors of our salt lamp, we love the tranquil, peaceful energy it creates in our home.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Everyday Goddessing<\/strong> is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women.
