Do you know that having a healthy home can support you in your own health?

I have been healing homes since 2005 and there is nothing more satisfying than to help a home reach its full potential. You may have heard about or read articles about ‘sick buildings’ or may have felt the heavy, sad or tired energy of a home as you entered it.‘If the walls could speak’ is a saying many of us have heard.

What I have found in my years of healing homes, is that walls DO speak and they have a lot to say!I was recently invited into a home that was built in the 1920’s. It carried within its walls all of the sadness, anger, fear, and worry created by all of the people who had ever inhabited it. As I was helping her (yes, it was female), I could feel the relief she felt as the weight of the years was lifted.

An important aspect of your own self-healing is to begin to be aware of the energy of your home. When you spend time in your home, do you feel energized or depleted? Are there spaces or rooms in your home that no one spends time in? Do you feel better when leaving your home than you do staying in?

When you start to pay attention to the energy of your home and begin to listen to what it has to say, you will be amazed at the stories it will tell! There are some simple ways to begin changing the energy of your home. First and most important, begin talking to your home. It might feel a bit strange at first, but it will begin to create a bond between you and your home. When this happens, it opens the lines of communication and your home will start letting you know (in its own unique language, of course), what it needs. You will begin to be aware of areas that you might not have noticed before or feel things you hadn’t felt before.

Be aware of the energy you create in your home. Play upbeat and positive music, burn incense or bring in flowers to create freshness. Any high vibration activity, such as singing, play and laughter will uplift the energy of a space and everyone will benefit from the shift.Clearing your space at special times like a full moon, equinox or solstice is also very powerful. As we move into spring, open your windows with the intention of bringing in new life and most importantly, fill your home with gratitude for keeping you safe, warm and dry from the elements and watch it respond.
