How to Cleanse and Protect Your New Home

Buying and moving into a new home is such an exciting time in one’s life! Our homes absorb energy, which relates to both pre-existing and new builds. And when you move, you want to start with a clean slate!  And if you are in search of a new home be sure to check out Redfin and their tips from experts like myself.  Whether you are looking for an apartment in New York or a newly renovated Victorian-style house, Redfin is an incredible resource.

Before you move in learn about the home, the surrounding buildings, and the land. If you are near churches, schools, or something has happened in the area, you may want to pull in a Feng Shui expert.

Here are a few ways to clear, energize and protect the chi of your new home.

The home is now yours!  Congrats!  Walk the space; how does it make you feel? This would be a great time to do a deep clean, and Sage with a strong intention of clearing all past non-beneficial energy, finishing the process with a new home blessing. Clean your front door and the entryway thoroughly, sprinkling cinnamon around the entrance to welcome opportunities and abundance. This applies to both a new build and a pre-existing home. New builds hold all the energy of the contractors and of the land that it was just built on.

First Couple Weeks of Moving In

Once you have moved in, after the first week, let your belongings meld with the new space for a week. Your belongings will be bringing in new energy and the energy of your prior home. At this time, I would do another deep clean and Sage with a strong intention of clearing all non-beneficial energy. Finish this process with burning rose petals while blessing each room in the house. Roses are one of the highest energy flowers and bring in such joy. Utilize the Bagua Map to create intentions specific to each room.

Maintenance

Fresh flowers! Keep fresh flowers in your kitchen, or somewhere you will enjoy them. They lift the chi!
Palo Santo once a week, blessing and clearing non-beneficial energy. Personally, I do this daily. It grounds me, and with the work I do helps keep me and my home at our best.
Not into using something smoke-based? Salt and sprays work great too.
Salt, place a bowl of rock salt out for 24 hours with the intention, and be sure to remove after 24 hours. Sprays will work like the smoke-based process; pick a high-quality Sage or Palo Santo.

Our homes are energy and respond to how we treat them. After you move in and get to know your home, it is fun to name them. You will know if you have picked the right name.

And always keep your home in good working order. If something is broken, this does relate back to the Bagua Map.

And, of course, if you run into hiccups and need help, or you run into many other circumstances with predecessor and residual energy, be sure to get your Feng Shui Expert involved.
