Cleaning with intention not only cleans dirt from your environment, but it can also clear negative energy. An energetically fresh environment gives us the freedom to live our lives unhindered. To get the full benefit from cleaning with intention it is important to have the right attitude. Instead of resenting cleaning, welcome the opportunity to bring positive change to your life. Try to be upbeat while you are cleaning; music can help.
Use affirmations, such as “I am clearing all from my life that no longer serves me”, or releasing statements, such as “I willingly release all negativity from my life as I clean”. Pay attention to corners and other areas where debris lingers. Have some windows open to air out the space. You’ll be amazed at how fresh sparkly your environment feels, and cleaning will be much more fun.

Hi Helen,
Long before I embraced feng shui and even knew about space clearing, I reframed “house cleaning” to “blessing my nest.” Your post reminded me of that. I can remember Rick, my boyfriend at the time, thinking I was absolutely brilliant and fascinating because of this! Fond memories. Thanks for bringing them to mind and reminding us all that cleaning can be a lovely ceremony.
Smiles,
K
