Make Room for True Love – Clear Your Space and Your Mind

As you begin to put your attention on manifesting your soul mate, you will want to do a space clearing throughout your home to release negative or obstructive energies left over from previous relationships.

As you begin to put your attention on manifesting your soul mate, you will want to do a space clearing throughout your home to release negative or obstructive energies left over from previous relationships. Even if you are in a new home or apartment, there can be residual negative energies from your past, or even the previous occupants or just from the environment. By intentionally clearing your energetic space you can begin with a clean slate.

Simple Energy Clearing Techniques:
The Native American practice of “smudging” is the practice of cleansing away negative energy with smoke from various herbs or resins including sage, cedar, sweetgrass and lavender. The tradition of smudging is becoming more commonplace and is one of the most popular clearing techniques.

Your local metaphysical bookstore will have a variety of products available including smudge sticks, smudge wands, and smudge bundles. Select one that feels most comfortable to you. I prefer to use California sage and I like to smudge during the day. I begin by opening all the doors and windows and letting in as much sunshine as possible. I like to begin at the front door and systematically go through the entire home. You want to reach every corner, closet and room of your entire home. As you do this be mindful of your intention and your thoughts. In the Native American tradition it is common to pray throughout the entire process. You can use the prayers that feel most comfortable to you and something as simple as “I am grateful for the purification of this space” will also work. Your purpose is to clear all negative energy from your personal space and to welcome in new, fresh, positive energy that is supportive and loving.

If you don’t like the smell of sage, or live in a small place or a home with less-than-excellent ventilation, here are some other space clearing techniques:

Use your favorite incense. Move around your home in the same way as described above with three lit incense sticks.

Pour a glass of clean water, add in a bit of your favorite perfume, then walk around the house dabbing the tip of a hankerchief in the cup and then generously “spritzing” the perfumed waters all about with the flick of a wrist.

Another way to clear energy is to fill shot glasses with salt and put them in the corners of each room for several days.

Place crystals with different properties in strategic areas to draw out and fend off negative energies.

Do Guardian Angels Exist?

Guardian angels are a controversial topic, and opinion on whether or not they exist is very much divided.

Guardian angels are a controversial topic, and opinion on whether or not they exist is very much divided. On one hand, there are those that reject the claims of anything spiritual and suggest that there is no logical possibility of some divine body protecting and guarding individuals from harm, while the opposing side swear from personal experience and anecdotal evidence that there is without a doubt some third party protector who has intervened in their lives or altered their path dramatically. Either way, establishing the presence of guardian angels is no easy task.

Proving categorically whether or not guardian angels exist is impossible, because proving faith at any level is impossible; it isn’t called ‘faith’ for nothing. However, by working with arguments from both sides of the fence, it may be possible to hypothesize more accurately the status of the guardian angel and whether it is feasible that angels may exist and have the ability to impact our lives.

The anti-spiritual camp tends to approach guardian angels and the concept of faith generally with the same disdain. They suggest that the concept of the guardian angel seems anomalous with other aspects of the Christian faith, such as that all men are created equal – why then should only some be able to avail themselves of this divine protection? Another common suggestion is that the concept of guardian angels derives from the Bible, which it says is a less than authoritative text on a logic and facts-based point of view, with only the written word to prove or disprove their existence.

The account of things on the spiritual side is less conclusive and coherent than their non-believing counterparts. But that’s not without good reason. The experience of a guardian angel is one that is truly personal; so it is more important to gather evidence and accounts from those claiming to have had such experiences. Interestingly those who do claim to have come into contact with guardian angels seem to come from a broad cross-section of society, and they tend to have very little in common with their contemporaries other than their spiritual experience. In fact, some of those having experienced guardian angels were themselves previously sceptical about their existence and disputed the role of spirituality and religion.

For either side of the guardian angel debate, the other’s reasoning is hard to follow and abhorrent to their respective belief systems. Whether or not guardian angels exist, it seems the only way to join the believers’ side is to experience it first hand, through the testimony of someone close to you who experienced a guardian angel, or the intervention of some holy body in the way you live you life.

What is apparent is that whether or not you believe in guardian angels, there will never and can never be any definitive proof on either side as to their existence and their role in faith and our day-to-day lives.
