Elemental Clearing Tools for Your Life

With the holiday time upon us, stress levels often rise. It is important to have useful tools to recenter yourself and the elements can help.

The elements are powerful tools to clear energy and to balance and harmonize you when you are feeling out of sorts or drained by the environment you have been in.  The important thing to remember is that your intention in working with the energy is what moves it. The clearer your intention, plan, or purpose, the better the process actually works.

I have been through a powerful initiation process with a Shaman in Peru and in that training learned that they have a slightly different way of looking at energy.  Instead of qualifying energy by saying it is light or dark, they talk about it in terms of density. What is dense to one person may actually be lighter to another; it all depends on the persons sensitivity level and development. They also have a beautiful name for the earth mother…they call her Pachamama.

According to their tradition, she uses our dense energy as food, so to use the element of earth for clearing, go out in nature and stand on Pachamama. With intention, first by taking a deep breath, fill your body with light uplifting energy then consciously ask your body to drain any dense energy into the earth. When you feel complete, you will have the feeling of being much lighter. Be sure to thank Earth for her assistance.

To use Water for clearing, set your intention for water to clear you before you enter it by bathing, showering, or swimming. You may want to add apple cider vinegar or Epsom salts to bath water for additional clearing power. You can also clear with Water by releasing emotion through crying.

To use Air for clearing, you can do a meditation, tone, play a crystal bowl, sing, or work with sound in a wide variety of ways. Just be sure to use it with the intention to clear your field. You can also use flower essences, crystals, or oils with the intention to clear your vibrational field.

To work with Fire: write what you want to clear or transform on a piece of paper and then burn the paper in the fire, with the intention to have the fire transmute the energy. You can also clear your energy with dance. Simply state your intention before moving and allow the energy to flow fully in your body. Dance and movement are very powerful tools for moving the energy in the body. The more you actually allow the body to move the way it wants to, the more you clear your energy.

Prayer is a beautiful tool to use to clear with Spirit. As you pray, hold the knowing that your request is already complete and remember to give thanks.

Try one of these techniques for clearing the next time you feel out of sorts and notice the difference. Even a simple technique can bring powerful results and improve the quality of your life.
