Clearing the Space
I’m a strong believer in energy. People have energy, places have energy, and energy can linger. It’s a good idea every once and a while to clear the space you’re in of any negative energy. This afternoon I did just that.
I gathered up some candles and incense, and for an hour watched the incense burn and clear away any negative energy that might have been lingering. And I have to say- it was one of the most peaceful hours I’ve ever had!
Watching the smoke drift up from the incense, it felt like my burdens and worries were being carried away with it. At the end of the time I felt refreshed and refocused (which is hard to do at 5 in the afternoon).
It was a great exercise on Ash Wednesday to watch the incense stick change slowly into ashes as the smoke drifted out the window. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
