The dates, format and location of the next Space Clearing Practitioner Training have not yet been announced. The information on this page relates to the 2011 training and has been left online to give interested trainees an idea of what is involved.

Space clearing is the specialized branch of feng shui I've pioneered and developed since 1976. It's a powerful ceremony designed to clear and revitalize energies in buildings.

I intentionally made it all sound very easy in my book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, because the most important thing at that time was to make the basic skills easily accessible to everyone. The time was right to teach this information to the world and because of that, the book became an overnight international bestseller. That book and the Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui book I wrote the following year, have now sold over 2 million copies and been translated into 24 languages.

There is a huge difference between the level of space clearing described in my books and the skills that need to be developed to be a professional space clearing practitioner. A great deal of personal work has to be done to clear your own energy, maintain that level of clarity, cultivate higher spiritual connections and master advanced space clearing skills. This training calls for people of a very high calibre, who have already done many years of personal development and are committed to their own spiritual development. All the practitioners I train continue to study with me after registration in order to maintain their skills at a high standard.

the space clearing practitioner training course

I've been running professional training courses since 1997 and offer the highest standard of space clearing practitioner training available anywhere in the world. The training is in four parts, spanning a period of approximately eight months:

PART ONE: A 10-day residential intensive that includes 3 onsite case studies (145 hours of tuition)
PART TWO: 20 weeks of case studies conducted by email and skype (20 hours of tuition)
PART THREE: A 7-day residential intensive to learn more advanced techniques (105 hours of tuition)
PART FOUR: A further 3 months of study and practice conducted by email and skype (20 hours of tuition)
TOTAL TUITION TIME: 290 hours

After completing the training, practitioners continue to have direct access to me by email and skype, and access to a lively forum just for space clearers, where we exchange daily news and updates relating to space clearing, clutter clearing and other relevant topics. They are also eligible to attend advanced space clearing courses that are not offered to the general public.

clutter clearing practitioner training

The level at which I train clutter clearing practitioners requires the ability to discern the underlying reasons why clutter accumulates in the first place. I see no value in helping people to get organized, only to have the same problem recur six months later. Training at this level therefore requires a serious amount of spiritual development work first to create specific structures in your subtle bodies to be able do this.

Originally I intended to teach separate trainings for clutter clearing practitioners but have now abandoned this idea as impractical. Instead I include the information in my space clearing practitioner training. Registration as a space clearing practitioner automatically results in registration as a clutter clearing practitioner too.

Read on to discover the specific background skills and qualities that are required to train as a practitioner.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS TRAINING UNLESS YOU HAVE FULFILLED MOST OF THE PREREQUISITES. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO TRAIN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THESE FOUNDATIONS IN PLACE.

basic requirements for applicants

Space clearing works beautifully in conjunction with other branches of feng shui and yet it is not necessary to know any feng shui to become a space clearer. The two trainings are very different and it certainly is not the case that someone who has studied feng shui will necessarily have a greater natural aptitude for space clearing than someone who has not. To explain this further, it's my perception that feng shui masters of old were indeed great masters of the energy worlds, but this can certainly not be said of most feng shui practitioners today. The remnants of feng shui that are commonly practised now are only what remains of the knowledge that was recorded before those skills and levels of spiritual connections were lost.

The basic requirements for applicants have changed over the years as my work has evolved. The current list of requirements is as follows:

personal development work

The most important prerequisite is to have done enough personal work to develop the subtle body structures, level of perception and degree of etheric awakening that are foundational to the practitioner training.

The Clairvision School is an advanced school of meditation, founded by Dr Samuel Sagan. I first discovered it in 1999 and have found that by requiring all my trainees and practitioners to read the Clairvision material, attend courses, practice the Clairvision style of meditation, do ISIS (Inner Space Interactive Sourcing) and adopt the excellent Language to Map Consciousness developed by the School, I can teach professional level space clearing at a very much higher level now than was ever possible before. The two streams are now so interwoven that my professional training is now only offered to people who have maintained a daily Clairvision-style meditation practice and regularly participated in Clairvision intensives for at least three years.

The following books by Dr Samuel Sagan are required reading for all space clearing trainees and highly recommended for all spiritual seekers.

• Awakening the Third Eye
• Regression: Past Life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom
• Entities: Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences (in the USA the title of this book is Entity Possession)
• Atlantean Secrets (4 volumes)

The books can be purchased from book stores or direct from the Clairvision School, which also offers a substantial body of study material in the form of Knowledge Tracks.

Please note that the Clairvision School does not teach the usual New Age nonsense that is often associated with Atlantis, past-life therapy, entity clearing, and so on, and strongly dissociates itself from anyone who does. Theirs is a serious, well-researched body of work that I have scrutinized in depth and that students can verify for themselves.

clairvision ISIS

It is also vital you become aware of the emotional samskaras that are running your life and do personal work to resolve them. Without this you cannot hope to access higher realms with clarity or do professional level space clearing safely or effectively. ISIS (Inner Space Interactive Sourcing developed by the Clairvision School) is by far the best method I know of doing this.

There is a full description of the ISIS technique in Dr Samuel Sagan's book, Regression: Past Life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom, and you can find information about ISIS intensives and dates of courses at www.clairvision.org. To find an IST practitioner, email info@clairvision.org.

It is a requirement that all trainees have done several years of Clairvision courses and ISIS intensives before applying for my space clearing practitioner training. You will not be able to understand my course or develop the skills without this background. However please do NOT take ISIS or Clairvision courses just because you want to apply for my training. This won't work at all. Only do so if you are seriously interested in taking the courses offered by the Clairvision School regardless of whether or not you subsequently take the space clearing practitioner training.

other prerequisites

• To have read my books (Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui and the new revised edition of Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui)
• To have a very high level of personal integrity (absolutely vital for this work).
• To be fit and healthy, and to take regular exercise in a form that you enjoy, including hatha yoga on a daily basis. The training is not suitable for people who are excessively over- or under-weight.
• To have well developed self-esteem, personal charisma and counselling skills, so that others feel safe with you and confident about you.
• To have well-balanced sexual/creative energy. You will find it impractical to do this training if you have long-standing sexual issues or blockages you are still working with.
• To have a natural, compassionate rapport with people, animals and places.
• To have regular body purification programmes such as colon cleansing, fasting, and so on. Your body needs to be physically clear in order to remain energetically clear.
• To be committed to releasing the need for suppressants such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar, chocolate, over-eating, etc, and to have long since overcome any obsessive behaviour patterns such as gambling, compulsive shopping, dysfunctional codependent relationships, and so on. This will enable you to maintain the necessary sensitivities to do this work.
• To have a private email address and skype handle, and be able to type and use the internet. In fact it would be best if you genuinely enjoy using email and the internet because you'll be doing a lot of it in this training and after registration as a practitioner.

Please note:

• If you have taken any hard drugs within the last five years (recreational as well as addictive prescription drugs such as anti-depressants or tranquilzers) or have used marijuana within the last year, it can be dangerous to do space clearing at professional level so please do not apply for this training.
• Attending an Art of Space Clearing course before applying for the practitioner training used to be a prerequisite. While it is still recommended, it is no longer required because all the information is now included in the Part One training.

certification

This is not the type of training where you pay your money and get your certification at the end, regardless of your skills. The application process is designed to enrol the trainees who have the best chance of completing the training successfully, but there is no guarantee you will receive certification at the end. Most trainees do, however you cannot rely on it. If practitioner level has not been attained by the final day of the course then it will be necessary to apply for further training.

after certification

After certification you will be eligible for inclusion in the Directory of Space Clearing Practitioners on this website. If you're interested to learn to teach the material I have developed, after completing at least 20 professional space clearings where clutter has been a prominent issue you will be eligible to train to give talks, weekly classes and eventually workshops about clutter clearing. After completing at least 100 professional space clearings and attending at least two advanced space clearing intensives you will be eligible to apply to train and be franchised as a space clearing teacher (depending on your level of your skills and teaching abilities, of course).
