Essential Spring Cleaning Tips, Feng Shui Consulting

Written by Judith Wendell

One of the most important things to do in springtime…yes cleaning, but also ritual cleansing or purifying the atmosphere. I use a natural tree resin made by monks for cleansing smoke, bells, flower offerings and other methodologies in my clearing/blessing rituals. However, something we can all do to lift the environment from the heaviness of winter, is to make a spray with purified water infused with fresh orange peels or a bit of the juice of an orange. You do not need to add much of the orange essence to a spray bottle. The freshness of the orange is very ‘yang’ and clears the ‘yin’ or stagnant energy of the winter.  At this time of year is very uplifting to do this periodically.

Having a formal clearing/blessing ritual is very useful if you are moving into a new home or office, been doing renovations, having health, financial or relationship issues, or simply ready for a fresh start this season. Email me and we can set up a call so I can explain it all to you. In my practice, I address my client’s needs and issues first and foremost. I then visually assess their environment using the Form School of Feng Shui and then make their Flying Star chart and suggest adjustments combining my knowledge of BTB (Tibetian Black Hat) Feng Shui and the 5 Elements. I keep in mind the function of every area, my client’s taste, decor, and budget. This requires balancing many factors which takes skill and often is inspired by intuition. I love this part of the creative process which I often liken to making all of the puzzle pieces fit together - making a complete and balanced picture.
