Dear Karen,

I'm seven months pregnant with my first baby and as the time of the birth approaches I am becoming more and more aware of how much my home is in need of Space Clearing. Can I do this myself? If not, what do you suggest I do?

Karen's reply:

It is definitely NOT advisable for a pregnant woman to do Space Clearing. It can be harmful to the unborn child. It is, however, very desirable for a new baby to be welcomed into an energetically clear birthplace and home. It will give the new arrival a clear start in life and makes for a healthier, happier infant all round (good news for any parent!).

You don't mention your marital status but it would be ideal if your husband/partner could read my book and do the Space Clearing, or maybe you have a close friend who would be willing to help? I also have a directory of trained practitioners who are skilled at clearing birthing rooms and homes in general.
