Dear Karen,

You say in your clutter-book not to do space-clearing when you have an open wound. I have psoriasis for two years now and there is always a spot on my skin, that is a little open. Can I never do a space-clearing ?

Karen's reply:

First of all, please do not attempt Space Clearing from the short description in my Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui book. You will need to read the full description in my first book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui to be able to do the ceremony safely and effectively.

However in your case, please proceed with extreme caution. An open wound of any kind (including psoriasis and weeping eczema) has a physical component that you can see and also an etheric component that you can't see. In other words, the the rupture is not just physical but also energetic. Your skin condition is likely to become aggravated if you attempt to space clear and you can also be vulnerable to undesirable energies entering your etheric. I would definitely advise that someone other than you does the Space Clearing in your home.
