Our spaces hold so much for us. They are our homes that nourish us; our offices that inspire us; and our rooms that provide us refuge, warmth and function. This year, especially, our spaces have even been blended into offices and classrooms.

Given how important our spaces are, KellySue Fitzharris, of Healing Spaces, says that we should be engaging in two types of clearing: energetic and physical.

“Energetic clearing is vital because our spaces hold onto energies, emotions and thought patterns,” explains Fitzharris. “They linger in the space and can imprint into the room, affecting you long afterwards. Physical clearing is actual decluttering and is so underrated as a powerful avenue for healing. Often our clutter—type, where and how it’s stashed—holds the answers to our health problems or reveals what is keeping us stuck.”

According to Fitzharris, hiring an expert is a good idea “because the task can feel daunting on so many levels. A true healer of spaces will provide you with both the emotional support as well as the proper systems you will need along the way.” To set up an energy clearing consult with Fitzharris, email her at [email protected].
