Space Clearing: How to Purify and Create Harmony in Your Home Book

Denise Linn may not be known in the DIY or interiors worlds, but as an expert in healing traditions from all over the world, she's one of the biggest names on the mind body spirit circuit. Space Clearing is about how to purify and create harmony in your home using ancient shamanic techniques. The pale blue cover, with a sole feather sets a nurturing mood for this holistic approach to the home. Early on Linn explains: "A home that has been purified not only feels better but sometimes, in seemly mystical ways, health improves, relationships deepen and prosperity expands. Ancient people understood the power of cleansing and blessing their homes and living structures, and this is why space clearing was such an important part of their everyday life." If you ever wondered why spring cleaning, a good old clear-out, or even chucking out everything associated with an ex-partner felt good, this provides an entire philosophy around clearing one's living space and stamping one's own energy onto it. Certainly many of the ideas, from creating a sacred altar, to casting holy water might seem wacky and marginally mad. But they are all beautiful rituals, and whether or not you believe natural gemstones do implant different types of energy into a space, doesn't matter--as with the myriad of other suggestions, they're attractive and simple. Serene images such as a native American-Indian woman lighting candles, bowls of rice, sage leaves in abalone shells, are all uplifting for the soul. --Lorna VRead More
