Space Clearing or Space Cooperating?
Many wonderful, capable, intuitive people offer space clearing.
I don’t.
At least not the way I hear it described by others.
Space cooperating is, for now, the most accurate description for what I do together with my partner, the crystal Fallon. (Read some of our adventures, from ghosts to clearings, at our magazine, Bridging the Paradigms.)
What’s Your Mindset?
The difference is mindset.
Many people operate from the human paradigm, which assumes that humans know best. Regardless.
I do my best to operate from the earth paradigm, where all life is equal.
From my intuitive work I know that everything is alive. Everything. Whether we’re human, animal, plant, volcano, hurricane, oil, ocean—whatever we are—we all have this in common: we are alive.
We are not one with all life. But we are all alive together.
And all life, whatever its physical form, has a separate and distinct soul and personality, consciousness, equality, rights, responsibility, and free choice to do its work. Together, all life can collaboratively build a healthy world.
Starting simply, with our homes, our businesses, and the land around us. Cooperatively.
Cleared Space or Cowed Space?
Humans are used to taking charge. We’ve done some wonderful things, but we could improve (including me).
One place where this is obvious is in what a lot of people call space clearing. Yes, we can manipulate energy, but should we? Under what circumstances? And who gets to have a say in what takes place?
I sometimes see spaces that have been ‘cleared’ and in which people claim to feel great. These spaces are often quite dense and heavy. I’m not sure why they feel great, because the space’s vibrancy has been blanketed, essentially cowed into submission, empty. I suspect that’s partly why many people like them: because our lives are so busy and stressful, being in an empty, blank space is a gigantic time out.
But is it? The space isn’t vibrant.
I see it on all levels, from people dabbling in clearing their own space to energy workers with years of experience. They don’t mean to harm a space or hinder its development. They simply do the normal human thing that comes from living in a human paradigm: they act as if human intention was all that mattered.
Still, these people do wonderful work because they do care and they are acting to make a difference in the world, in their lives and in the lives of the people they do clearing work for. Most of them treat the space and their work with great care and love, and I honor them for it, and the beings they work with. They’ve made great contributions to their communities and the planet with their work, from feng shui to clearing to soul coaching, and we’re all better off because they’re there.
It’s just not the work that I do. That’s why I use the words space cooperating to describe it.
How My Work Is Different
Accepting that everything is alive also accepts that everything has attitude. Opinions. Concerns. Rights.
We all need to be heard. Especially the beings we attempt to clear without directly and equally involving them in the process. Generally they are quite surprised to be asked their opinion and permission to work with them, and the results are memorable—and productive. For a detailed description of how I intuitively communicate with spaces see Businesses, Homes, and Nature.
In space cooperating I open a dialogue with the space and its people, giving them the opportunity to express their needs and wants and figure out how to co-exist, if possible. Sometimes a sale or move is necessary, and my job is to ease the transition and help all parties search out a new relationship, to separate, grieve, balance, and heal. Each session is different, presenting its own challenges and opportunities.
We then proceed to clear the space, in cooperation with it, using whatever has stepped forth to work that day: certainly my crystal partner, Fallon, other crystals, incense, bells, my Fallon Lavender-Salt mixture, music. Each session is different.
The key is that it all starts with choosing a mindset that accepts every being as an equal.
What mindset will you choose?
What Kinds of Spaces Need Clearing?
All the spaces we live and work in need to be clean. And balanced. Just like we do. Here are some reasons why you’d hire me and my partner Fallon to do a space cooperating session for you:
- Create and maintain a harmonious environment to live and work in
- Establish a new relationship with your space or alter one
- Seasonal changes
- Real estate sales, moves
- Remodeling or rearranging space
- New business or re-direction
- Changes in life or business, from illness to new family members to new purpose
Fees: Fees depend on the size of the space, whether it’s a small home or business. Rate range: $200 – $300 for a first session, $100 for follow-up. Includes intuitive consultation and clearing. Please contact me for large homes or businesses and a maintenance package rate.
When you contact me about a session, here’s what happens:
- You tell me what the situation is with your business, home, or natural area.
- We set up a session.
- You write specific questions for the session, especially questions/concerns for the being we will work with.
- I talk with the being involved, and begin to get feedback. This is the start of the intuitive consultation process.
- I also get feedback from my crystal partner, Fallon, and other beings who decide to participate.
- I prepare my space clearing items for this session: they include crystals, incense, bells, other members of the Alchemy West Committee, and a sense of humor.
- We conduct the space clearing session (onsite or remotely). Sometimes this is room by room, sometimes it is simply a discussion.
- During the clearing we discuss issues, concerns, and needs with all partners, from humans to the area being addressed. This is also part of the intuitive consultation, included in the session.
- Afterwards, we close the clearing and thank all participants.
- I leave a line of communication open for the beings for another day, and follow up with a brief report to the humans involved.
I believe this form of space clearing—space cooperating—is what our ancestors did when they first developed systems that we know today by such terms as feng shui and shamanism. All of us who are involved in this work are simply finding ways to continue to build harmonious relationships with all life in ways that work for our times.
So, ready for a space cooperating session with your business, home, and land area? Contact me.
