Dear Karen,

I live in a terraced house with very thin walls. I am keen to space clear, however I am concerned that the noise may attract unwanted attention from my neighbours. My opportunities to practice space clearing whilst the neighbours are out on both sides are limited. Is there an effective method for space clearing without clapping and chimes ?

Karen's reply:

Using sound to break up stagnant energies is the most effective of all the Space Clearing techniques I have pioneered and developed and lies at the heart of the ceremony described in my book.

Certain types of sound (strong, resonant clapping and high quality Balinese bells) have the ability to break up the stagnant energies that accumulate in walls, furniture and objects. The sounds go deep into the walls, furniture and objects in the building. Silent techniques such as wafting incense around may temporarily lift the energies in your home but the effect is superficial and will disappear when the incense smell is gone.

The advanced clapping and belling techniques I teach to my space clearing practitioners produces an effect that is equivalent to (and a lot cheaper than) demolishing and rebuilding your home as well as replacing everything in it. The more resonant the clapping and belling, the more effective the techniques are in clearing out the past and enabling the occupants of a home to have a completely fresh start.

When you do Space Clearing for yourself following the instructions in my book it is therefore vital to include clapping and belling, as well as the harmony ball process at the end of ceremony to reconsecrate your home to higher frequencies. If you are concerned about disturbing your neighbours, by all means choose a time when they are out, but you may be interested to know that complaints are very rare - most neighbours are more curious or intrigued than disturbed by the sounds of the ceremony.

By the way, I notice you use the word 'chimes' in your question rather than 'bell', so just in case you are thinking of using wind chimes, click here to go to a Q & A about why this doesn't work.
