Especially for professional healers, it is extremely important to clear your energy field from any of another person’s energetic "garbage" that you may inadvertently have taken on during that person’s healing session - a time when your energy field is connected to your client’s.

Everyone can benefit from the simple techniques below to help keep you free of energetic dross from others and from your environment. After all, most of us have enough of our own issues to deal with, without taking on board others’ as well!

DRY BATHING TECHNIQUE

This simple technique is from Reiki and is called Ken Yoku.

To clear your energies rapidly from another or after leaving a stressful environment, you can

a. With your right hand: firmly stroke down your body from the top of your left shoulder across to your right hip.

b. With your left hand: firmly stroke down your body from the top of your right shoulder across to your left hip.

c. With your right hand: firmly stroke down your body from the top of your left shoulder across to your right hip.

d. With your right hand: firmly stroke down your left arm - from shoulder to right off fingertips.

e. With your left hand: firmly stroke down your right arm - from shoulder to right off fingertips.

This technique is also a very quick way of grounding yourself.

WHITE LIGHT SHOWER

To cleanse your energy field when you have been in a place of discordant energies, such as at a shopping centre, crowd, tense work place or airport you can use the white light shower technique. It is also good to clear yourself after doing healing work for another or just to get rid of the day’s accumulated energetic dross.

Imagine standing under a shower and turning on the tap. Instead of water, a shower of white light flows over you. Feel it cleansing, clearing and washing away all negativity, scattered energies and other people’s rubbish. You can adjust the pressure of this white light shower with the tap, increasing it if there is some particularly stubborn energetic rubbish to shift. Very soon you will feel tingly fresh from the top of the head to the tips of the toes and then you can just turn off the tap.

GOLDEN GLITTER ANGEL SHOWER

To cleanse your energy field you may like to ask the angels to shower you with their golden glitter energy that descends over you in a shower, covering your entire energy field. You may prefer to be showered with pink rose petals for unconditional love and to clear the heart. Either way, just allow the shower to continue for as long as the higher forces deem necessary to clear you, leaving you glowing all over and your vibration significantly raised.

TIBETAN BOWLS AND CYMBALS

If you have ever heard Tibetan bowls or symbols being played you will know how quickly they transfix you with their sound. As well as shifting energies quickly during a healing session, the sound of the Tibetan bowls and/or cymbals is great for rapidly shifting negative energies in a space before or after you use it, such as a healing area, home or office environment. Use liberally for clearing if you feel or suspect unpleasant energies on entering a room.
