Oranges peels, especially, embody yang energy. The peel has the power to clear a space. If you need to wake up and clear a space, peel some oranges! Keep a bowl of nine fresh oranges in your home to uplift the feng shui. Peel one from time to time to clear the space. And yes, you can eat the fruit. It’s recommended that you buy the highest quality bells (or bowl) that you can afford. The better the tool, the better the sound resonance. To space clear, ring the bells or bowl in the center of your space or walk around the perimeter. The sounds are not only effective at space clearing but also for healing. One of our favorite methods here at The Spruce is smudging with palo santo sticks. Palo santo is a wood from South America that has a bright, minty, and sweet scent. It’s light enough to use on a daily basis. White sage is good for occasions that are in need of more heavy-duty work! Like with the bells, you can smudge in the center of a space or walk around the perimeter of the home. Himalayan salt lamps are especially popular right now, for good reason. They purify the air and also the qi of your spaces. Some other go-to essential oils for space clearing are frankincense, geranium, and rosemary. If you don’t have a diffuser, you can create your own or make a space clearing mist by adding a few drops to a spray bottle of water. You can place a few pieces in your home, or arrange them in the four corners of your home or room to create a grid of protection. Chanting mantra creates and transforms the energy of a space with your own sound current. For space clearing, use the Sanskrit mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” which means “the jewel is in the lotus.” You can also use a prayer that is significant to you. Chant and visualize that your sound vibrations are filling and clearing your space.
