SMUDGING is used to move the accumulated energy in one’s environment. Dried sage, cedar or sweetgrass is lit, extinguished, and the smoke is moved through the rooms, especially in corners. Please be cautious with the fire and note if anyone is sensitive to fragrances. For the Home or School You can additionally assist yourself and others by decreasing the amount of excess energy in your surroundings. The individual is then better able to neutralize his or her own vibratory fields. TUNING FORKS work in the same manner as smudging, but the tone that is emitted moves the energy. COLLECTING AND REMOVING EMOTIONAL ENERGY Ground yourself, use your intention, and invite the excess energies of the room or home to a location that is not immediately near you. Depending on what resonates with you, direct these energies to depart through the ceiling, a window, or to the ground. This is especially helpful when someone is triggered by anger, fear or agitation of others in the space. Your energy fields are affected by many factors. I encourage a regular practice of cleansing to influence the ease vs. disease of your life. Judy Lipson is a licensed, professional counselor and educational strategist in West Bloomfield, MI.
