Sacred Space, Sacred Life: The Art of Space Clearing for Your Home, Mind, and Spirit

In today’s fast-paced world of constant motion and digital saturation, we all crave a deeper sense of peace—somewhere where we can go to catch a breath, to remember ourselves, and to connect with what truly matters. We might look for that in our vacations, in our meditation apps, or in the next weekend getaway. As an American-born Sadhu and globally respected spiritual teacher, I teach that healing begins much closer than we think. It starts in your home.

Our homes are sacred sanctuaries. When we purify them, we purify ourselves. Whether we are aware or not, the home is a container of energies from those that have inhabited them, worked in them or spent time in them. When we think about healing and clearing our hearts, minds and Souls, it’s important to consider the home as well.

In my over five decades of work guiding spiritual seekers, wellness leaders, and heart-centered households, I’ve seen a profound truth unfold again and again: when we clear our living space, we clear the path for joy, clarity, and Divine connection to flow into our lives.

What Is Space Clearing? A Sacred Invitation to Upgrade.

Space clearing is not about minimalism or design trends. It is about energy—the subtle, invisible atmosphere that fills our homes, influencing everything from how we feel to how we sleep, eat, communicate, interact, and create.

You’ve likely felt this before:

The heavy weight in a room after an argument.
The stale, foggy feeling in cluttered corners.
The unexplained lightness in a sacred place or forest cabin.

These are energetic imprints. They matter. And they are changeable.

Space clearing is “spiritual hygiene for your environment.” Just as we shower our bodies, we must also clear the emotional and energetic residue from our spaces—so we can live from lightness, not from lingering burdens.

The Vibration of Home Affects the Vibration of Life

Your home is not just a shelter. It’s an extension of your energy field. In ancient traditions—from Indian Vastu to Japanese Shinto, Chinese Feng Shui to Indigenous Earth honoring practices—it’s understood that every space holds memory. Emotion. Spirit. Intention.

Our thoughts, words, and actions leave imprints. Over time, these accumulate. They can either support your Soul’s evolution—or block it.

If you’ve been feeling:

Chronically tired or mentally scattered
Emotionally triggered or uninspired
Spiritually disconnected despite your efforts

…your home may be part of the cause whether you are aware of it or not.

By clearing, blessing, and sanctifying your space, you’re doing more than cleaning. You’re giving your Soul permission to relax, reset, and rise.

Sacred Space-Clearing Ritual: A Step-by-Step Guide

Rooted in Vedic wisdom, Hawaiian blessing, and universal sacred law, the approach I’ve developed for space clearing is simple, intuitive, and deeply transformative. Here is a more detailed version of this process designed for everyday households, families, and seekers alike:

1. Prepare with Reverence

Before you begin, enter the space as you would a sacred temple. Wash your hands, remove your shoes, light a candle, and take three slow breaths.

When you show up with presence, the space listens.

Speak a quiet intention: “May this be a time of purification and peace. I offer this home to Divine Light.”

2. Open All Windows and Doors

Even when it is cooler outside, crack the window open to let energy shift. As air flows in and out, visualize stagnation releasing and new energy entering.

Imagine your home exhaling and inhaling renewal.

3. Use Nature’s Tools to Clear Energy

You can use:

Sage or Palo Santo – for general clearing
Sandalwood or Frankincense incense – for sanctification
Essential oil sprays (lavender, rosemary, lemon) – for gentle purification
Salt bowls or Himalayan salt lamps – to absorb density
Sacred Energy Light Bulbs - for cleansing of negative energy

Walk slowly through each room in a clockwise motion, paying special attention to corners, doorways, closets, and under furniture. These are places where energy tends to gather.

Say aloud:

“I release what no longer serves. May this room be filled with light, joy, and Divine Presence.”

If you are emotionally sensitive, pause to feel each room. Some spaces may carry sorrow, fear, or anger. Breathe into that sensation. Then bless it. You are the alchemist.

4. Add Sound and Sacred Frequency

Use sacred music, chanting, or sound bowls to break up stuck patterns.

I recommend:

Chanting your favorite prayers and mantras
Ring bells
Play sound bowls
Play sacred music
Play specific frequency tones
Play shamanic drums as you wish

Sound is medicine. Let it echo into the walls and floorboards. Let it sing your home awake.

5. Offer Blessings to Each Room’s Purpose

Pause in the center of each room and place your hand on your heart. Speak to the space:

In the living room: “May joy, connection, and harmony fill this space.”
In the bedroom: “May this be a sanctuary of rest, intimacy, and sacred dreams.”
In the kitchen: “May our meals be blessed, and our nourishment sacred.”
In the children’s room: “May love, laughter, and wonder protect and uplift.”
In your home office: “May this space be aligned with purpose, clarity, and service.”

Your words shape the space. They create a vibrational imprint. Let them be joyfully sacred.

What to Expect After Clearing

People often report:

Improved sleep and rest
Spontaneous emotional release
Clearer thoughts and decisions
Sudden creative inspirations
Greater sense of well-being
A deep feeling of peace upon entering their home

But the real magic is subtler: you begin to feel more at home in yourself.

“When your outer space is in harmony, your inner self feels safer to deeply relax and to expand,” shares Jagadeesh.

Clear Space, Clear Life: The Inner Connection

Space clearing, when done with sincerity, becomes a spiritual practice. It trains your awareness. It refines your intuition. It slows you down enough to feel what’s real.

I encourage you that every time you cleanse your space, take five minutes to sit quietly afterward.

Ask yourself:

What am I ready to release within me?
What kind of energy do I want to live in now?
What sacred vision does my soul long to create?

Listen. Feel. And know: your home has become your altar.

Infuse Everyday Life With Sacred Energy

Beyond formal clearing rituals, you can maintain sacred energy through small daily practices:

Place a fresh flower or plant near your entryway
Burn incense or diffuse essential oils at sunrise
Keep your favorite mantra or affirmation visible
Create a family blessing you say together before meals
Ring a bell before bed to clear the day’s energy

These moments do more than elevate your space, they elevate your spirit.

Your Home Is a Temple

Whether you live in a one-room studio or a family estate, your home is alive. It breathes with you. It supports you. It reflects and amplifies your inner life.

A reminder, your home can be a healing chamber. A sacred wellspring. A place where God is felt in the light of a candle, the echo of your laughter, the silence of dawn. When you honor your space, you are honoring your Soul.

So take a breath. Light a flame. Open a window.

Try being more intentionally aware of the impact that the space around you has on your beingness.

And let your life begin again—cleared, blessed, and beautifully aligned with the sacred.

Automobile Clearing: Your Moving Sanctuary

Many of us spend time in our vehicles—driving to work, running errands, traveling to see loved ones. Yet how often do we consider the energetic imprints our cars carry?

A gentle reminder to you - every space where we dwell, even briefly, becomes an extension of our auric field. Automobiles absorb stress, frustration, emotional residue, and energies of those who ride with us as well as residual imprints from those who built our cars and maintenance them.

Consider the emotional states you’ve been in while driving— ever felt rushed, anxious, exhausted, or even shed tears in your car? Add to that the vibrations from music, conversations with family or friends, road rage, and lingering traffic tension, and you’ll see why clearing your vehicle is a sacred necessity.

Over time, your car becomes more than a vehicle—it becomes a sacred carriage of stillness amidst movement, a mobile temple carrying your intentions into the world but also reflecting the experiences that your car has been through.

Business Clearing: Creating More Creative Flow in the Workplace

We often separate our spiritual lives from our professional ones—but Jagadeesh teaches that work can be sacred, and that the spaces where we serve, create, and exchange energy deserve spiritual care.

Your business is not just a means of income. It is a vibrational field. When cleared and blessed, it becomes a place where creative flow and happiness can thrive.

Signs your workspace may need clearing:

Conflict between colleagues
Stagnant creativity or productivity
Clients dropping off unexpectedly
Tech glitches or financial tensions

A Guide for Business Space Clearing:

Clear Physical and Energetic Clutter: Maintain a tidy desk, and keep common areas and electronics clean.
Install Sacred Tools: Place sacred energy stickers on computers, phones, and doors. Light sacred energy light bulbs in waiting rooms, meeting rooms and offices. Use Himalayan salt lamps or purifying plants like peace lilies.
Bless the Work: Speak aloud: “May this work uplift humanity. May each transaction serve truth. May we prosper with integrity and Light.”
Unify the Team: Start meetings with a moment of silence or shared intention. Encourage mindfulness and compassion in all communication.

Whether you are a solopreneur or part of a larger organization, business clearing allows the Divine to enter the details—infusing your efforts with grace, clarity, and deeper impact.

There are additional ways to clear homes, automobiles, office spaces through deeper work with space clearing practitioners. Once you’ve made the decision to heal and clear your space, there are ways that they can cleanse them even further.

Let every room carry your peace. Let every corner echo your prayers.
