Are you trying to move? Do you want to sell your house? Do you want to buy a house? Are you having a hard time moving? Did you know that if you don’t space clear when you are trying to move, it can stall your move for a long time?
How you ask? Let me tell you.
When I moved to LA, I had this apartment in the Fairfax district that I lived in for almost 10 years. About 8 years into living in that apartment I wanted out! Desperately! But I could not figure out how to leave the space. Why did it have such a hold on me?
To make matters worse, the neighbors around me were just awful. I was being woken up at all hours of the night by one neighbor’s dogs that would just run out to her balcony and bark incessantly. Her balcony faced my bedroom and it felt like the dogs were literally in my bed. Though I raised the issue with her a number of times, she was so rude about their behavior and chose to do nothing about it.
Then one evening I was so mad, I knocked on her door at 2 am after her dogs had woken me up yet again. She was a tough woman and frankly, I was a little afraid of her but my sleep is precious and my Brooklyn side took over. She actually looked afraid of me and put the dogs back in the house. For a moment, I had some peace… but it didn’t last long.
Adding insult to injury, the neighbors below me would have knock-down, drag-out screaming arguments almost every night. It was as if their anger was bubbling up through the floor.
Fast forward a month later and the woman with the dogs moved out. I was elated! However another obnoxious neighbor moved in and he hung out on his balcony all night long with friends, blasting music. I went out and politely asked him to take his party inside. He called me names that I would never repeat in this newsletter. Frankly, I ran up my stairs and cried myself to sleep. I felt so trapped, like I couldn’t get out of the grips of this apartment.
The next day I went to the beach and vowed to end this trapped feeling. Rent control or not, I needed to get out of there. I also knew I needed to move into a home because I no longer wanted to be surrounded by people. I just wasn’t sure what I needed to do to make it happen.
So I sat down with my Guides and asked then for help. They told me the apartment did not want to let go of me. That it felt attached to me and wanted to hold onto the relationship that we created.
You see, I really opened up in that apartment. It was the place where I learned that I was a medium and learned how to use my gifts. It was the place I did my readings. There was even a vortex in my closet. Didn’t really like that vortex, but it was there.
My Guides told me my apartment and I needed to have a talk. It needed to feel safe and that I was going to help it find the right occupant to share its space.
Sounds crazy, right? But I knew it in my soul that what my Guides were saying was true. I could feel the tight grip this space had on me, as if it once held me in a warm embrace that now turned into a stifling, suffocating hug.
I had to get out. To do so, I had to start with a conversation with my apartment.
We had a true heart to heart. I acknowledged it for what it did for me. How it helped me discover my truth and housed me during that difficult time. I talked about how it was there with me during my journey of opening up as a medium. All the while, I maintained a sense of power. Because I knew that the energy of the place would overtake me if I didn’t set things straight immediately.
After acknowledging what I felt we did together, I moved onto assuring it that it would get the right occupant. The right person would move in and it would feel useful again. I felt we came to an understanding.
Not long after that talk, I began searching for a home to rent. The rents were higher than I was able to pay but I kept looking. Then my Realtor suggested I buy a house. I was like, with what?
Not too long after, I received a gift from my father out of the blue to purchase my home. And that is exactly what I did. I bought my very first home.
I know all of this happened because I cleared the path. I released the old and let in the new. I allowed for opportunities and possibilities to show up in a way before I even knew they existed. I made a clear decision about what I desired, I pulled pictures of what I wanted and wrote everything down. Not long after, I said goodbye to that apartment.
I love my home and was able to create a space that is truly beautiful. But you know what I did different this time, I let this home know that I may not be staying that long and that it was to support me when I was here and support me when I wanted to leave. We have a mutual agreement and an absolute unconditional love for each other.
So if you are looking to leave your home, have a conversation with it. Acknowledge the time you had together and tell it, you both can open up the space for someone better for it to come live there. Then shake energetic hands and pave your road to your new home.
For those of you that want to learn more about space clearing, I’m doing a fascinating live class on Thursday, October 20th at 4pm(PT). You don’t have to show up live to this class because it will be recorded. I look forward to helping you clear your path to with your space!
