Clearing your Space and Body

I had the honour to be invited to see the closing ceremony of the Argyle mine in the East Kimberley where Rio Tinto extracted diamonds for many decades.

Creating ceremony for small or important events in our lives or – in this case – Respecting Country and bring peace again after long time mining, local Land Custodians used smoke and water to clear space and people.

When did you smoke your place and aura last?

The best time is during full moon, but please don’t wait… When you are feeling stuck and feel ready to let go and move forward: smoke/smudge your place and body (in all safety) verbalising your intents aloud.
Favour local herbs/tree sticks from your area for a more powerful result.

Change is life.

Enjoy

Dear Roseline, We have been here in our new home 2 and a bit years and my family and I have all felt displaced and unsettled. Something is not quite right! Your advice would be appreciated. – Jordan, Australia

Dear Jordan,

There are many reasons why someone would feel unsettled. I will list only a few with dot points – this list is far from being exhaustive!

Could be that…

• Was this new house built on a aboriginal burial site?
• Do you still long to your old home?
• Did you say goodbye to your old house (equally important if you rented or owned it) ?
• Did you take with you in this new home newly bought antiques or mirrors that had been used by another person?
• Did you bring in with you in this new place objects of recently deceased people?
• Is your house located near one of those really high electric poles? or high electric fields?
• Is your new place ‘closed in’ and were you used before to have a large garden or lived on a big property?
• What is across of your main entry door?

More details from you would be welcomed so I could give you further suggestions. Cheers!

I am happy to help all my readers help themselves with Feng Shui tips.
Even though this blog doesn’t replace a Feng Shui consultation with me, I do welcome simple questions via email to which I will answer by placing an article on this blog so that all followers can learn.

BEFORE – please note following Feng Shui challenges:
a) The shiny tiled Compass is hidden by a dull mat
-> lack of direction in life
b) The artificial (silk) flower arrangement is the first we see as soon as we open the door
-> what is it in the resident’s lives that is a bit too artificial?
c) The metal shelve hosts eclectic items and clothes
-> too many different items to start a good day with a clear mind   😦
d) A few dried (dead) flowers sadly collecting dust in a glass pot on the floor
-> nothing ‘dead’ in the entry please, we need ‘life’ in an entry so that Chi can carry it with its flow around the whole house! Also, avoid small items on the floor level, they are down, you look down sadly   😦
e) Shoes near the entry… preferably in a closed in cupboard in the garage because on an open shelve in your entry foyer they may emanate a subtle smell – and after I’m sure that  worn shoes are not your favourite decoration   😀

 

AFTER –  note the changes:
a) The shiny tiled compass is now happily shining with the sunlight and an outdoor mat is doing a great job.
b) The artificial flower arrangement is now at the back of the entry door so it is no more the first thing you see when you enter.
c) A second shelve is across the first one, they now both host precious and fun objects that are loved by the grand kids when they visit. They also put a smile and bring joy into the grand parents lives when they come home.

RESULTS –  After those easy changes, the occupants soon felt calmer and peaceful, better organised and their days were filled with more laughter and smiles. After all… Happiness is priceless isn’t it!  🙂

Feng Shui – Deceased Estate

I was walking in Yulara (Central Australia) when strangely, a pigeon swept with a loud flapping noise above my head determined to attract my attention. I knew something had happened. It was a clear sign. Deep in my heart, I knew my mother had left. That night, an email followed to confirm. I booked my flights and left for the other side of the world.

When my cousins picked me up at Brussels airport, they had no problem to recognise me as I was the only person coming out of that flight with a small carry-on bag only and wearing winter clothes – it is currently Winter in Australia but mid-Summer in Belgium. The last thing that I was going to worry about was what to wear!

All went as smoothly as possible in those circumstances. Family and friends gathered for the funerals. Then… it was time to deal with mother’s belongings. That is a Titan task. I am sure that those of you who went through this stage still have items they can’t depart. Those who haven’t, probably hope to push this challenging moment as far as possible away in time.

It is a time of total detachment, on all levels.
It is a time of remembering, healing emotions and letting go.

I packed clothes, shoes bedding and gave it all to mancare. Some books went to second hand shop, expensive leather cover encyclopaedias went to recycling as nobody wants those anymore. I “E-bayed” all I could of her beautiful and quality furniture and decor then finished with a garage sale.

I went through all her manicured photo albums and wondered how many hours it took her to prepare such pedagogical tools, after all she was a lifelong teacher. It made me think of how we handled the photos decades ago, then we printed them all, no choice, so we kept most of them even sometimes those that were blurry simply because we paid for the printouts! Nowadays with the digital photos, we have much too many of them. Yes, they take no physical space, only virtual one. How many of you can say that you sort them out only keep those worthwhile?

In my daily life, I de-clutter regularly and I named my Feng Shui photo-trick : “A year in less than 4 minutes”.

Since 2009 each year, I create a yearly small slide show that fits onto the timing of one song – between 3 and 4 minutes. I gather all the good moments I lived during that year. People are happy to watch photos for a few minutes (only) and it is handy to place it on YouTube to share with overseas relatives. That’s all. No need for me to bother anyone with the thousand of photos of my latest trips, no, let’s keep it simple and short – that’s all what people want. I then erase all excess photos and the ‘delete’ button is popular! Your photos are your story, only a few good ones are important to keep for you and your descendants.

You may wonder what I will bring back with me to Australia?
Very little: my baby plate in which I started eating and my first silver cutlery set.

The rest is now gone.
I am free… so is she.
Many blessings, Mum, thank you for everything you did and taught me!

Full Moon Ritual – “Breaking the Cycle”

Tags

breaking cycles, breaking repetitive pattern, Breaking the Cycle, feng shui ritual, feng shui rug, floors in feng shui, full moon, full moon ritual, rituals to move forward, roseline deleu, smudge sticks

Last night with some friends we celebrated the full moon with a themed ritual “Breaking the Cycle”.
Sitting in circle all together, each expressed a facet of what most of us wanted to shift.

We then each verbalised and wrote a list of what cycles we wanted to break starting the sentence with powerful words:
” I get rid of + … (add here the cycle to break)”.
Then, since we are all aware that when we ’empty something’, it often comes back unless we replace it with something else, we had to quickly think of what we were going to replace it with.
So the very next sentence was: “I replace this with +… (add here the opposite of what you got rid of).

For example:
“From now on I get rid of fear and I replace this with I am courageous and excited”.

We smoked each person safely with a appropriate protection and local smudge stick and finally we burnt in the full moon that long list of what was holding us back.

– Would you like to do this ritual, please proceed responsibly, use fire and smudge sticks with caution as we take no responsibility for any of your actions. You add “I stop blaming others for what happens to me” and I replace this by “I live and act responsibly”. –

This morning, I got up and felt the urge to start my day vacuuming and cleaning my floors frantically. I laughed when I was on my knees cleaning my recycled plastic reversible rug with a soft humid cloth!
Woaw! After all one of the sentence of a participant was “I stop procrastinating” and I replace this with “I move forward with confidence”.
From my Feng Shui point of view, cleaning the floors is lighting our Life Path… this was my impulsive first task this morning before starting any other work. After washing the reversible rug thoroughly and turned it the other way around. This will constantly remind me of this full moon ritual when we broke all those cycles.

Rituals are powerful in your life.
Be aware and stay safe.

As I was putting this post up on my blog, I received an SMS from one of the ladies:

” Dear Roseline, I can’t thank you enough. Came home last night feeling lighter and full of energy. Just as you said, I also had the best sleep. It’s amazing how quickly the universe responds when you put your intentions out there. – D.

Make your own Smudge Stick

Tags

aboriginal cleansing, aura cleansing, energy clearing, feng shui master, full moon, full moon ritual, instead of white sage, plants, roseline deleu, smudge stick

Full moon period is the ideal time for energy clearing.

Rather than purchasing a smudge stick online or in a shop, I’d like you to consider making your own!

Why ? – Using your local herbs and plants is much more powerful to clear your aura and your home and adding your intent of respect is essential.

How to process?

1. Look in your garden or nearby park for trees, bushes or plants having antiseptic properties (Eucalyptus, Pine, Tea Tree, Lavender, etc…)
2. Ask permission to the plants to cut a few branches and explain what you are about to do with them. To many readers, this might seem strange to ‘ask permission to plants’ – to me, plants are alive and are happy to participate to what you are planning as long as they are respectfully involved. Ask yourself… How would you feel if someone comes and cuts your hair without warning, simply because you have long hair and this could make a wig for someone else? Same idea isn’t it.
3. Cut branches to your preferred dimension
4. Tie them with cotton leaving a little bit of space for air to flow between the branches/leaves, once lit, blow the flames out leaving smoke only. Let the stick dry for a few days or weeks depends on your local climate.

Smudge safely and with care!

Playing with fire always request common sense and care. Look around you, watch for kids and people and also at the environment where you will proceed with the cleansing and do so safely.

Ask your angels, guides, ancestors (or who you believe in) to accompany you and protect you during this ritual.

For body as well as for homes, the movement of the smoke FIRST goes anti-clockwise to clear and release the energies; then let the wind take away the negative energies that you just released. After a few moments, process then in a clockwise movement to protect body or/and building.

Before this full moon, I made my own and let them dry. I put cypress, lavender, rosemary and eucalyptus together as they were in my neighbourhood.

Last night in the full moon, I cleansed my aura. I slept very well and today, I feel great! Thank you dear local flora 🙂

I live in a quiet neighbourhood, the energies here are pure and kind. For those of you living in a busy polluted and noisy environment, I am prepared to sell you those that I made here with love and respect. Email me (through my website) for further info.

N.B. This post is for your information only, we don’t take any responsability to what might happen to you during this action.

Lorrkkon Ceremony

(Today, is my Dad’s birthday. He has been in Spirit for a few decades.  I send him Love & Peace. ❤ Thank you for everything you did for me Dad!)

Coincidentally, a couple of days ago, I was at a re-enacting of the funeral ceremony of Bill Neidje, the last surviving speaker of the Kakadu language.

As part of my Feng Shui posts about Honouring our Ancestors, I wish to share following very important event that happened here in Canberra a couple of days ago:

25 March 2014 – Canberra – Reconcilliation Place hosted a very special event.

“Extract of AITSIS brochure – LORRKKON ceremony was lead by Binninj ceremonial leader Ronald Lamilami and Yolngu ceremonial elder and artistic Director of the evening’s event, Djakapurra Munyarryun. Both Ronald and Djakappurra led the ceremony at the Hawk Dreaming bone ceremony that was screened on the large media screens during the evening.

LORRKKON relates to having the bones placed in a log (or in wooden container) and taken to a secret cave at Hawk Dreaming near the Valley of Bones for safe keeping. This ensures the last surviving speaker of the Gagadju language, Bill Neidjie’s spirit remains connected with his country and allows him and his family to continue their care and lawful management of the Bunitj lands.

The ceremony is performed on the specially prepared Bunggul ground. It is a re-enactement of the final part of his funeral ceremony. However, unlike the original, it does include women and men as tonight it involves a public aspect of this ceremony that involves the handing over of the film footage by the East Arnhem Land Aboriginal people (Yolngu in green) to the West Arnhem land people (Binninj in blue) who are connected through family and songlines.

The footage was then passed across by the Binninj ceremonial leaders to the old man’s children and grandchildren to handover to AIATSIS who become the new guardians of this precious and rare archive.

Following the ceremonial handover and acceptance speeches, the group return to the centre of the Bunggul ground for a cleansing smoking ceremony.
This marked the conclusion of the LORRKKON ceremony.”

It was a very touching event where unfortunately the Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon Tony Abbott MP couldn’t attend in person due to other commitments.

This ceremony was part of the celebration of 50 Years AIATSIS www.aiatsis.gov.au/connect

I am glad I was there.

A cupboard a day… Happy everyday!

– You too, send me your feed-back stories! –

I emptied half of my wardrobe to symbolically welcome a potential relationship. When I was ready, I then activated Chi in my Feng Shui “Relationship” sector at home and after putting my clear intents into an exciting Feng Shui collage, I got my amazing results!

Since the arrival of this man into my life, I had to seriously do more de-cluttering and bring both our harmony into the place: I re-organized and de-cluttered inside my cupboards. One cupboard a day… Happy everyday!

I always wonder how I could have accumulated so much unnecessary stuff. Yesterday, I emptied my pharmacy cabinet, threw left overs of cream waiting in silent bottles as well as old medication that ran out of date.

Since the start of this process, I feel lighter, brighter. Many cupboards are now clean and well organized… so are our ideas and priorities in life, our relationship is in harmony too.

When you are happy your relationship thrives.
What you scan in your home influences your happiness.
