March 9, 2020: Celebrating in Mexico.
One year ago, I was having a blast in Mexico with a fabulous group of women of all ages while celebrating my dear friend Lavinia’s birthday. We swam, did yoga on the dock, danced, got massages, wandered into town, experienced rituals and had an amazing week. That was the last time life seemed normal.
March 14, 2020, I landed back in NYC and immediately went into lockdown. NYC emptied out and my neighborhood was surreal. We stocked up with toilet paper, cleaning supplies, hand wipes, water and canned goods.
Schools shut down. Kids went on line 24/7. Work/Life balance had a new meaning.
March 9, 2021: The light is returning. Although many still are suffering from the pandemic (physically, financially, mentally and emotionally) the vaccine has given hope and a sense of new freedom to many. For the first time in a year, many of my friends and clients are making plans to finally visit their families who they haven’t seen since the lockdown.
A new consciousness is slowly being birthed and more people are truly understanding that we are all in this together and that change starts within.
That all being said, it is important to remember that every thought and interaction we have is imprinted on our consciousness and remains in our physical space. You cannot work and live at home and have your kids go to school online without bringing into your space all kinds of anxiety and stuck emotions. Our world is not just physical: it is alive with subtle spiritual energies.
For thousands of years, shamans, priests/priestesses and holy men and women were called on to bless a home or release negative spirits from a space. For many cultures it is believed that the world of the spirit is real and powerful. Illness, poverty and bad relationships are thought to be the result of the influence of spirits.
There are many ways to clear energy… Whichever way is adopted, the result is the same after a space cleanse – you will feel that your space is immediately lighter, clearer and fresher.
Sunday March 14th, we change the clocks to bring in more Light. And Saturday March 20th is the Spring Equinox. This is a perfect time for a Covid Space Clearing.
Depending on how stuck the energy is, you may want to consider booking a space clearing for your home or office. They can be done via FaceTime or in person.
"Barbara did a space clearing at Sloomoo Institute, cleansing the energy of COVID and inviting in a fresh, healthy, new energy of abundance and joy. We literally sold out every weekend since and it has been truly beautiful - our guests have been full of pure happiness!"
-Karen Robinovitz, Co-Founder at Sloomoo Institute
Here is a short version to try on your own:
Start by Connecting to the spirit of your home. Open your front door and Introduce yourself. Say, “I am …… Please help me co-create a safe and sacred space.”
Spray my Space Spray (or burn sage or copal)in every room. As you walk around your home, open all the windows. Whenever you feel energy congestion, clap quickly to break up stuck energy.
When you are finished, create an altar to the new energy you want to bring in. I always like to use crystals, flowers, a special candle and some water.
