Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt uneasy, tired, or even anxious? Or noticed how certain areas in your home or office seem to weigh you down emotionally or mentally? You’re not imagining it. Just like our bodies carry energy, so do our physical spaces. And when these spaces become cluttered — energetically or physically — they can block the flow of abundance, joy, and opportunity in our lives.
The Power of Space and Energy
Our external environment reflects our inner world. In her globally loved book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” Marie Kondo explains how every object holds energy. She encourages us to only keep what “sparks joy” and let go of what doesn’t. By thanking and releasing items with intention, we not only declutter but also cleanse energy. This practice is rooted in ancient Japanese traditions and is surprisingly spiritual at its core.

But tidying is just the beginning
True space cleansing involves aligning our physical surroundings with high-frequency energy to invite abundance, prosperity, and peace. Think of your space as a mirror of your life: when your surroundings are harmonious, your life naturally becomes more aligned and abundant.
Why Space Cleansing Works
According to Reiki and energy healing, stagnant energy accumulates in places that are cluttered, neglected, or emotionally heavy. These energies can create blocks in our lives—whether it’s in our finances, relationships, health, or creativity.
When we clear and recharge our space, we remove energetic debris and open portals for positivity, clarity, and abundance to flow.
7 Powerful Space Cleansing Techniques to Attract Abundance
1. The KonMari Method (Marie Kondo Inspired):
Start by decluttering with intention. Ask yourself: Does this bring me joy? Keep only those items that uplift you. Thank the rest before letting them go. This creates energetic space for new opportunities.
2. Reiki Space Clearing:
A Reiki practitioner can bless and cleanse your space using universal life force energy. Reiki infuses peace, clarity, and healing into the walls, objects, and corners of your home, office, or shop. You can also set up a Reiki-charged prosperity corner using symbols, candles, and intentions.

3. Crystals for Energy & Abundance:
Place these in specific corners to activate wealth and harmony:
Citrine: Known as the “merchant’s stone,” it attracts financial abundance and success.
Black Tourmaline: Protects from negative energy and EMF radiation.
Pyrite: Stimulates wealth, motivation, and grounded action.
Selenite: Clears and uplifts stagnant energy; great for doorways and center spaces.

4. Smudging with Sage or Palo Santo:
Burning sacred herbs like sage, palo santo, or frankincense helps cleanse negative vibrations and invite purity. Walk through your space while setting intentions like “I release all stuck energy. I welcome prosperity and joy.”
5. Sound Healing:
Chanting mantras, using Tibetan singing bowls, or playing high-frequency music shifts the vibration of any room. Sound clears emotional imprints and raises the frequency to one of peace and magnetism.
6. Salt Bowls or Himalayan Salt Lamps:
Keep salt bowls in corners or use a salt lamp to absorb toxic energy and ground the space. Salt is a natural purifier used across cultures.

7. Mindful Space Rituals:
Light incense daily, keep fresh flowers, open windows for sunlight and fresh air, and display items that bring you joy—these simple habits invite flow and wellness.
