What is a Smudge Spray?

A popular aspect of Feng Shui is Space Clearing.  In space clearing, the energy in a space is cleared to rid it of negative or stagnant energy.  Sage smudging is the most common means of space clearing.  However, it is not also appropriate to spread smoke indoors, especially in the case of an open house, an illness, or a healing space.

For this reason, I have developed a Smudge Spray.  It has all the benefits of sage smudging (actually more!) but without the smoke.  In addition to clearing unwanted energies from your home or office, it will invoke divine love and light into your space.  As a feng shui practitioner, I know use this spray on my clients’ homes.

Do you wish you could cleanse or space clear your home without the strong odor of sage? Well now you can!

If you’re like me, you enjoy the benefits of sage, but dislike the smoke residue it leaves. Burning sage can be great for outdoor use, but can be too much for indoors, especially if one is sensitive to smoke.

As a Feng Shui practitioner, I space clear clients home using a variety of methods. I usually avoid (except on rare occasion) using burning sage because the smell is often offensive to homeowners.  Not to mention, it leaves a strong odor on my hand and clothes.  For this reason, I have developed a smokeless sage smudge spray.  I now use it for my clients’ homes and you can purchase it here for your own home!

Simply cleanse your home of negative or stagnant energy with a few sprays of my new Earth Home SMUDGE SPRAY!

I developed this Smudge Spray to not only embody the clearing benefits of sage and cedar, but  also to invoke the space with Divine love and light with rosewater and other essential oils.   It will leave your space feeling calm, yet energized, with a light aromatic scent.

It is great to use in homes, offices, healing spaces, open houses, ceremonies, hotel rooms,  and in healing practitioners’ offices.

If you are new to space clearing, sage smudging is a energy clearing method passed down from Native Americans and other cultures as a way to cleanse a space of negative or stagnant energy. Sage smudging is traditionally done by lighting the end of a sage bundle and wafting it around the space. The burning sage produces a strong residue and odor – which some people like and others do not. Either way, smoke is oftentimes not appropriate for indoor spaces.

The Smudge Spray instead leaves a light, pleasant aroma that gently dissipates into the space with all the benefits of traditional sage smudging and more!

Each bottle of Smudge Spray is hand blended by me and embodies the essence of  divine love and light.

I love being paperless. Not only does it save trees, time, and space, it keeps my visual environment clear of clutter. Overall, being paperless lends itself to a better feng shui-ed space.

Or does it?

We still have the same amount of ‘information’ (arguably much more than ever before) filed and stored as before our Digital Age. It’s just floating around instead of stacked in file folders, cabinets, closets, desks, and so on. Information – which is really just energy – has essentially become less dense, but nevertheless it’s still energy. Instead of manila file folders in a filing cabinet, we can store the same information in a digital file folder on a computer and perhaps even on our smart phone. And so is the case with photos, addresses, phone numbers, tax returns, money, and virtually any piece of information you can think of.

In fact, the Digital Age is even turning physical objects into etherical energy. After all, my iPhone can morph into an alarm clock, a zen garden, a newspaper, a camera, a voice recorder, a board game, a Bagua Map, a flashlight and much more. Amazing! Before long, it might just become my nightstand.

As we have become less dense with this digital revolution, we still have to be mindful of the energy that floats around us. While we may have less physical objects around us, we are still overwhelmed with information. And so we must be conscious of what ‘information energy’ we have hanging around us that might in fact be clutter. (Clutter being anything that is no longer in our highest and best interest to keep.) Here are five places where digital clutter may be lurking in the ethers near you:

1. Phone contacts – When was the last time you updated your phone contacts? Chances are, there are people in your contacts that you no longer socialize with, do business with, or want to talk to. Clear them out. Although your phone may be able to hold a 1000 more contacts, you still need to make space for new people to come into your life. This is a great way to bring new people into your life – business, friends, or romance.
2. Computer file folders – If your computer file folders were in a filing cabinet, would it be bulging over by now? Probably so. Clean them out. Better yet, organize them while you’re cleaning them out if you haven’t already. And still while you’re at it, take the time to back up your important documents. Store any documents that you would be lost without if your computer crashed on a zip drive, or email them to yourself, or upload to Google docs so that they are stored somewhere else besides your hard drive.
3. Photos – Staying on top of photos seems just as difficult digitally as it was back when we had negatives. They at least don’t take up as much space, but that’s because we never get them printed! Are your digital photos strewn all around your computer, along with various online companies depending on who has the best deal? If so, take the time to store them all in one place on your computer in labeled folders. Commit to one online photo company so that all of your photos to be printed are in one place. And then have the ones you want to keep printed. The photo book option that most companies have is great for those of who don’t do scapbooking as a hobby.
4. Desktop icons/Phone apps – Is your computer desktop full of icons that you rarely, if ever, use?   These can cause some serious visual clutter that can lead to a cluttered mind. Sift through your icons to see if there are some you can remove. Removing the icon doesn’t remove the software, so you can still access the Program if later desired. Of course, this isn’t the case with phone apps. Periodically, go through your phone apps and delete the ones that didn’t live up to their hype or that you’ve lost interest in. It will just highlight the ones that you do use and love.
5. Bookmarks – Has your list of bookmarks become so lengthy that you feel like you are surfing the entire web trying to find something. Go through your bookmarks and delete the ones that are no longer of interest to you. For bookmarks you want to keep but don’t use that often, categorize them into folders, such as Recipes, Travel, and Good Ideas. In doing so, you may come across some great bookmark sites you’ve forgotten about. This is what clutter does – it hides the good stuff.

Where else do you have digital clutter?

I oftentimes run into two types of people: those who are feng shui skeptics and those who are feng shui lovers. So just how much stock should we put into feng shui? Clearly there must be something to a 5000-year old practice, right? And why else would businesses in Asia construct buildings based on feng shui principles. According to the Chinese practice, feng shui brings good luck to those who apply it to their homes and businesses.

But what about those who have painted their entire Wealth Corner purple with not a hint of change in their finances? Or those who have placed pairs of pillows, nightstands, and candles in their bedroom just to find themselves sleeping alone?

As usual, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

According to Chinese Metaphysics, success or luck is derived from a combination of 3 factors:

-Heaven Luck

-Earth Luck

-Human Luck

This is known as the Cosmic Trinity.

If you divide each of these equally, that means each of these account for 33% of our fate.

Take a closer look at each one to see if you are taking advantage of all areas of your Cosmic Trinity:

1. Heaven Luck is also known as our Astrology or Natal Chart. We’ve all experienced times when we felt like we were going against a river. You may have wondered or even referred to your chart to see what was going on to explain your run of bad luck. And then there are other times when everything goes your way. It’s in these extreme good and bad times when we feel like we have little, if any, control of our life and destiny. This is your Heaven Luck. Is it possible to trump or override your Heaven Luck? Keep reading…

2. Human Luck is our conscious intentions. This is the aspect in which we feel like our life is in our hands. We are in control. We have free will. Our fate is in our hands – at least 33% of it. The more we make conscious choices, intentions, thoughts, the more we will be in control of our Human Luck. Have you ever come across someone who just seemed to live life in default. They just took what life handed them. This is a case of not using their 33% of Human Luck. On the other end of the spectrum, we sometimes think we have more control over our lives than we really do. This is usually when Heaven Luck or Earth Luck kicks in and teaches us a valuable lesson.

3. Earth Luck is the Feng Shui aspect of our success. Have you ever lived in a house that just seemed cursed? Perhaps as soon as you moved in everything seemed to go wrong. This is an extreme example of how feng shui can affect our lives. Generally speaking though, the energy flow in our home will have a direct impact on our own personal energy flow. This will in effect impact all areas of your life – from finances to love to health. If you don’t believe me, then try living in a house with a missing Wealth Corner!

   The Bagua Map contains nine areas of your life, the energy of which are all contained in your home. Some or all of these areas may be energetically blocked or need enhancing in one’s space, which is the essence of Feng Shui. Ultimately, we are directly affected by the energy of Mother Earth. The plot of land we live on is our host and we must live in accordance and in harmony with it. There are some plots that are more auspicious than others, as well as floor plans, furniture selection, and so forth. How we direct the energy in our home greatly affects how we direct the energy in all areas of our life.

I always encourage my clients to use conscious intentions (Human Luck) while applying Feng Shui remedies and enhancements (Earth Luck) to make a much more powerful punch – 66% to be exact. You can also apply the Heaven Luck to the equation by appropriately integrating the five elements into your home based on a personal Five Elements analysis.

We know that everything is energy – our thoughts and most certainly our emotions.  In fact, our emotions are just heightened byproducts of our thoughts.  You can think of it with this simple formula:  Thoughts + Emotions = Energy.  In essence, all of our thoughts and emotions not only help make up our energy field, but are also emitted from us like laser beams.  And guess what?  All of these particles of energy are in your home and immediate living environments, such as your office.

Our home is the single closest space, aside from our physical body, in which our energy is encompassed.  Whatever is going on within your personal energy field – be it illness, negativity, lack, abandonment, fears, and so forth – is also present within your home’s energy. Not to highlight just the negative, it holds the good stuff too.  In fact, like the Law of Attraction, energy does not discriminate between good and bad.

Feng Shui is used to improve the energy flow within spaces.  What this really means is if you are holding, for example, the energy pattern of “fear of failure” (despite your good intentions and affirmations), this pattern is somewhere in your home as well.  It may be lurking within a bad furniture arrangement, a stuffed closet, a stack of cluttered papers, or a piece of art connoting a negative message. These patterns can be sneaky.  Like the ego, they find a way to survive within our energy field despite our conscious good intentions.

Stories I hear from clients speak volumes to the power of Feng Shui.  It changes lives.  When you change your external environment thereby changing energy patterns around within and around you, you change your inner reality. Like the Law of Attraction, it’s quite magical.

The Bagua Map is an often used tool in Feng Shui that maps out where certain areas of your life lie within your home.  I often advise clients that when you make changes per the Bagua Map, in conjunction with a specific intention or affirmation (per Law of Attraction), this is when you really increase your chances of seeing positive changes.

For example, with one client we noticed a huge armoire in her Wealth Corner that was only being used to store clutter.  Not only that, but she didn’t even like the piece of furniture, which was handed down to her from a previous roommate.  This was a prime suspect for an energy block in her finances.  She sold the armoire and in doing so felt a sense of relief, spaciousness, and freedom.  This opened up new space in her Wealth corner, which has opened up new income streams for her.

Where do your energy blocks lie within your home? While a feng shui professional can be highly beneficial, you can start on your own.  Here’s some tips to get you started:

- Look for those areas of your home that you don’t use or don’t like going into.  This may be on a conscious or unconscious level.

- Notice what areas hold the most clutter.

- Look for pieces of furniture that constrict certain areas of your home.

- See your home objectively.  Even if you love your entry console, if you bump your hip on it every time you walk by, then it’s blocking energy.

- Periodically clear the energy in your home with sage, smudge spray, or any other clearing method.

More and more light is infiltrating onto the Planet to where darkness – in so many forms – can no longer survive.

Aside from a minority of followers, Bin Laden was an iconic symbol of evil in our collective consciousness. With the passing of Bin Laden, our Planet shifted. Or, put another way, our Planet has shifted (in vibrational frequency) to the point where Bin Laden could no longer be here. Either way, this political and historical moment also earmarks an important shift of our Planet and our collective consciousness to new ways of being.

Any time our Planet experiences a major shift, such as this, you can expect other things to take place. As the frequency rises, it creates a schism between those who no longer want to be here resulting in an inordinate amount of deaths and those who experience a rise in happiness, i.e. enlightenment or feeling more spiritually connected. A frequency change can also result in couples either separating or becoming closer.

You may have noticed something shifting in your life over the last few weeks. The calibration takes place primarily through the heart chakra as it is our largest electromagnetic energy emitter. Thus, as our Planet and we experience these shifts, living through the heart is our best way to navigate these strange, monumental, and sacred times. If you are being challenged with this – physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, energy healing can be a great way to recalibrate or reconnect you.

Peace to all.

It had all the signs of an ugly break-up.

Breaking up can be one of the most heart-wrenching and difficult times in our life. Whether it is a 20-year marriage or a first love, there is no easy way to go through a break-up. Even if you didn’t live together, there is inevitably a co-mingling of each other’s possessions. Not to mention those items given to one another out of love.

Splitting up – in the heart and in the home – is emotionally exhausting. Each item holds a vast amount of energy and emotional triggers. On the one hand, we want to throw those items in the dumpster (preferably not behind my house) and in the next moment we want to curl up with them in bed. We’ve all experienced the power and the energy of those left-behind items of an ex.

At some point –whether out of rage or forgiveness – we get to the point of letting the items go.

Yes, even the items given to us out of love.

Getting rid of those items – today, tomorrow, or next year – can be one of the most liberating moments. You are letting go the past and declaring that you are ready to move forward. For me, burning photos in a burning ceremony was a powerfully symbolic experience that released me from past relationships.

Similarly, if you are trying to attract a relationship, check to see if you are hanging on to any items from a past relationship. A necklace charm or sweet note may not seem like a big deal, but it is huge.

After you have purged those items from an ex, it is equally important to space clear your home.

The left-over emotional energy from the break-up will still be lingering in your space, not to mention the energy for the ex. In order to move forward, it is important to rid your home of those energies and start back on a clean slate. Sage smudging is a common method. You can also try Earth Home’s Smudge Spray that is a smokeless smudge spray. Just a few sprays around your home will clear the energy.

After a space clearing, invoke your intention in the new space. And welcome your new life in!

Feng Shui can be one of the most cost effective strategies you can use to help sell your home. In some cases, it is free or at the most the fee for hiring a feng shui consultant.

When you think of using feng shui to sell a home, you may think of moving furniture around and removing clutter. And, yes, this is oftentimes essential. But actually, most clients that I work with have already staged their homes beautifully and are perplexed as to why their home hasn’t sold yet.

When I work with clients trying to sell their home, I find that the energy block is not so much in the home, but with the homeowners. As a result, the energy in the home is negatively affected. When I walk into a home and tap into its energy, I pick up on the energy of the home as its own entity or being, as well as that of the homeowners.

A home has its own energy soup, so to speak, which is comprised of many things, including the land it sits on, its original intent at construction, leftover energy from previous owners, and even the numerology of the home. All these can factor into how a house sells on the market, particularly in a buyer’s market.

The other variable is the energy of the homeowners and how they are affecting the energy in the home. For example, in one case, the couple had divorced with the wife and kids still living in the home. Unresolved emotions coupled with negative energy being held in the area where the couple fought kept the house on the market for two years.

As much as homeowners want to sell a home, they are oftentimes subconsciously holding on to it, which can manifest in the home as clutter, overpricing the home, or simply negative or stagnant energy in the home. All of these detract potential buyers on a subconscious level.

People oftentimes confuse feng shui with staging services. While there may be a slight overlap, they are distinctly different. Staging involves removing excess clutter and furnishings and either using the homeowners’ furniture minimally or bringing in furniture to make the house look its best. For empty homes, staging is especially important. With feng shui, removing excess clutter and furniture is oftentimes advised as well. Feng Shui, however, differs from staging in that it deals with the energy of a space, not just the visual look of a space.

In using feng shui to help sell a home, a consultant works on an energetic level to clear the energy of the home, tap into the soul of the home, and, as a result, attract potential buyers. If you have done everything your realtor has advised and your home is still sitting, then consider hiring a feng shui consultant. It may be just the difference you need to get that contract before your neighbor does.

For anyone who wants to feng shui their home themselves, I would recommend my book, 27 Things to Feng Shui Your Home, for simple and effective bite-size feng shui applications. For clearing the energy in your home on an energetic level, I would recommend my Smudge Spray that I hand-blend for this purpose.

About a month ago I moved into a new home. Not literally new, but a 1904 brick Victorian. It had been occupied for eons by an old man, was completely renovated and even the subject of a Canadian reality show – Meet the Wilsons. It is now a beautiful, modern home with lovely exposed brick and a clawfoot tub. About a week into living there, I realized we were not alone, but shared the space with a ghost.

In the early 1900′s the home was a pastor’s home with its sister home being the church next door. Apparently our cohabitant had come to the pastor’s home for forgiveness, but didn’t get everything he needed. A week before Halloween I assisted him in moving onward and upward. I had gotten to know him and was oddly comforted by his presence. Moments after he left, I felt an emptiness in the house. It was a small sampling of what parents must feel when their child leaves for the weekend to go back to college. And like what most mothers do, I start busying myself to distract from the emptiness.

Within thirty minutes I see a mouse run across the kitchen floor. I scream. I can deal with ghosts, but NOT mice. Over the next few days, there were traces – my dog sniffing in odd places, another sighting, an uneasiness. I was to the point that I didn’t want to be home after dusk.

For many years, I have been compiling a list of the metaphysics of the home for a future book. As every part of our home is a representation of our emotional, mental, or physical Self. And my homes have always been my greatest teachers. And so I began to wonder what the meaning of all this was. And then I remembered what my client said, “I think I have an issue with taking up space.” And it hit me. I was not taking up my own space! This is just another way of saying, “I’m not using my power. I am underutilizing myself and allowing others to overpower me.” If you don’t take up your space, then someone or something else will – whether it be a ghost, mice, a competitor, your mother, or even a friend.

And if you can’t take up the space in your own home, then you sure as hell aren’t going to be able to do it out in the world.

When I realized that this was what was happening in my own home – that I energetically had not claimed the space as mine yet – I got to work. I cranked up Mumford & Sons, got out the mop, and amped up my energy. I was tired of being fearful of the mice. I was tired of something else taking over MY home. I felt a new sense of power that I had never felt before. I claimed it as my home and completely filled every corner and nook & cranny with my energy. This was MY house. I wondered where else in the world I haven’t been taking up my rightful space.

Have you taken up the space in your home? In the world?

I am happy to say that I haven’t seen a mouse since.

Claim your space.

This is a repost from The Elephant Journal originally posted on October 19, 2010.

My favorite quote and the mantra I try to live by is Ghandi’s ”Be the change you want to see in the world.”

But there is another Ghandi quote that to me is equally poignant.  He says:

“Our contribution to the progress of the world must consist of setting our own house in order.”

As a feng shui consultant, this is music to my ears. You can take this quote as literal or figurative as you want. Either way, I can’t help but think that if we each placed our attention on our home or whatever space we take up on this Earth, how amazing our Planet could be. It would be wonderful if we could all have a perfectly feng shui-ed home with its energy perfectly harmonized with Mother Earth.

But, to me the ultimate goal of feng shui is to love your home as if it’s a sanctuary.

In doing so, you are simply loving yourself and treating yourself as the sacred temple that you are.

So here are some simple suggestions to turn your home into a sacred sanctuary. And, in doing so, it can be a beacon of light on our planet as will its occupants.

1. Decluttering. I mention decluttering first because you must get rid of the old before you can bring in the new. If you are one of the many who has gone through or wants to go through a massive purge, you are certainly not alone. Our planet is going through a major clearing and that trickles down to each and every one of us. If decluttering sounds monumental and overwhelming, then just start with one drawer. It may lead to another one and another and so on. If you are someone who declutters on a regular basis and thinks that this doesn’t apply to you, then think again! There are so many layers to our things. That which we most need to get rid of is oftentimes right under our nose. What is taking up valuable space in your life? What item(s) are preventing you from loving your home?

2. Set Up an Altar Space. Early architects truly understood sacred geometry and how to build churches and cathedrals. They built tall steeples to reach God. You can do this, too, with an altar space—except your steeple is energetic. Each time you sit down to meditate you are a steeple. This is the benefit of an altar space. It creates an energetic vortex so that each time you sit down to meditate you ‘plug-in’ quicker and deeper. Your altar space can be as simple or elaborate as you want. The most important thing is that it is a designated space for this purpose. It is best to have a centering device—whether it be a table, shelf, or cardboard box. Place objects on your altar that are sacred to you.

3.  Display Power Objects.  We all have certain items that are really special to us. These are items that energize, inspire, and connect. For example, one of my power objects is a hand-made tapestry that I purchased in Peru. When I see it across from my desk it energizes me. The colors, the symbols, and the craftsmanship are inspiring. Other examples could be a love note from your beloved, a powerful crystal, a piece of pottery from your travels, or an art piece you crafted. Ideally, every item in our home should be a power object. Do an inventory of your home and notice what energizes you and what depletes you and rearrange accordingly.

4.  Designate a Yoga Space.  By creating a space for doing yoga, you are creating new space for your yoga practice to deepen. Your home practice is where you begin to truly tune in to what you want your yoga practice to be. You become your own inner guru, or upaguru in Sanskrit.  Maybe you are feeling energized and do an extensive series of warrior poses and arm balances. Or perhaps you are feeling tired and need to do slow and deep hip openers on the mat. If space allows, you can arrange your yoga space and altar space in the same area of your home. If space is at a premium, then you may have to be more creative with your arrangement, but it should at least be the size of your unrolled yoga mat.

5.  Space Clear.  There is an invisible world of energy in your home that you probably are not aware of. Like cell phone and radio signals, our thoughts and emotions swirl around in our spaces. But what you may not have thought about is the energy from previous owners’ emotions and traumas, your furniture’s history and stories, or even your own stuck patterns and habits. Space clearing is a term used in feng shui that refers to clearing the energy in spaces. There are many methods used for space clearing. And in some extreme cases, you may need a professional to come in. Otherwise, you should space clear your home yourself periodically. Sage smudging is the most common method. With a bundle of sage, light the tip and waft it around your space. It’s best to start around the perimeter—especially hitting the corners—and end up in the center of the room. When the smoke has cleared, you may notice the room looks crisper and feels lighter.
