What is Sacred Space?  For me, these two words reflect a place of comfort. Sanctuary. Safe Haven. Refuge and retreat. A place where we feel at home.  I think every one of us craves this kind of environment where we feel authentic, self-expressed, creative and alive.  We long to live in spaces that nurture us - places that care for our souls.

Your home has a unique personality and spirit.  It provides shelter and protection.  But, more than this, it gives you a sense of belonging and identity.  The objects, colors, and textures in your home combine to create a web of meaning and symbolism.  The energy of this environment and the quality of the space around you impacts every area of your life and shapes the opportunities that arise.

Given this, even small changes can produce powerful results.  By shifting or enhancing the subtle energy of your home you can generate more of what you want in life: Creativity, passion, partnership, abundance, peace, health, career opportunities... 
 

Feng Shui  is an ancient system of placement and environmental design.  With roots in China and Tibet, it is the art and science of placing buildings and objects in such a way that the earths energy, the life force or Chi, can flow in a healthy, balanced way. This system of knowledge teaches us how to harness this beneficial flow of energy by making adjustments to building design and materials, furniture placement, color schemes and landscaping.

The words Feng Shui literally mean "wind and water", symbolizing the flow of elements and natural forces that shape our environments. Feng Shui views the world as completely alive, with everything interconnected in a dynamic relationship.  This means that we are not separate from things around us -  we are deeply connected to our surroundings.  The spaces we inhabit influence our health, moods, productivity, and sense of prosperity and well-being.

The principles of Feng Shui work to bring a sense of balance and natural order.  And, when your dwelling places are healthy, energized and in harmony with nature then your life will reflect this.

"We shape our dwellings and afterwards our
dwellings shape us"

"Your sacred space
is where you can
find yourself
again and again."

Space Clearing is a process that gently cleanses stagnant, unwanted energy from your home or office.  Space Clearing techniques leave a room feeling purified, fresh, radiant and balanced; full of vitality and life.  The atmosphere feels lighter and more peaceful, sounds are crisp and colors are clear and more vibrant.  Old patterns are released.  And, new patterns are prayerfully integrated.  Space Clearing can be used in outdoor spaces as well - gardens, plots of land, forest, farms, barns - to bring healing and balance. 

The Space Clearing Ceremony is also used in conjunction with Feng Shui to maximize the effectiveness of cures and enhancements.  Doing a Space Clearing as part of your Feng Shui consultation prepares a "blank canvas" for the Feng Shui changes you will make.
