house blessings I'm really happy to have on local expert Keith Graham so you'll notice that today's format is a little bit different and that is because um again sticking kind of with local theme Here I host a local radio show once a month and I was happy to have him on and so this is a reuse of that audio you'll also notice a couple different voices that is Bri and Tony the station's producers I really like that they you know come in and um interact act also with the show and you know kind of offer some of their opinions and ask questions because maybe as somebody that's uh might be a little bit newer to some of these Concepts maybe you've been wondering the same thing or they ask a question you're like oh I hadn't thought about that but that's a really good questioner I've never heard of that uh concept before so without further Ado let's get into our episode today on space clearings and blessings hey guys welcome to the Funway show a show about creating Wellness your home by looking at it in a holistic way today we have Keith from purple mandre um Keith is here to talk about House Clearing space clearings house blessings so we're going to try and talk about the energetic side of um you know uh cleaning our home today so we know about cleaning decluttering but what do we doing we feel like the vibe is just off in our home the energy is not there so yeah welcome Keith how are you good morning I'm I'm good thank you good good and so we know you've been a GU guest here um before so today again we're talking about space clearings um yeah so just tell start by telling the audience a little bit about yourself for people who aren't familiar with you okay well uh like Candace said my name is Keith uh owner of the purple mandre and we are a holistic healing and Wellness Center here in LC Texas and we do energy work so energy work in the physical body energy work in houses and spaces and uh pretty much anywhere that energy is found but um yeah so when we talk about doing a a space blessing or space clearing again um what I guess what are some of the signs people feel if something might be off in their home what are some of those clues that you might need to do a space clearing or space cleansing most of the time people will notice a huge difference in the space they'll they'll feel their mood change um something just feels off it does not feel right and like I said the big time the most of the time it is mood people will notice they get very irritated and agitated um emotions tend to rise when they go into a space that uh the energy is off in and among that you can also see physical signs uh people will be lethargic uh they may have sleep problems um and it could also br present itself physically in the body has do you feel like people notice this all of a sudden or is it something that kind of builds up over time uh it can be a sudden change uh but most of the time it's something that builds up over time kind of builds up it does okay um it really boils down to the simple fact that we are energetic beings and we leave energy behind we bring energy in with us people that we meet on a daily basis we exchange that energy with them and we pick up stuff it's like going to the airport and you're going through baggage claim and your luggage getting messed up and now I've got some of your luggage and you have some of mine MH it's the same thing exact thing energetically and we carry that and we always go home and we carry that to the house and we tend to leave it in those places we leave it in their cars and work spaces and it's a matter of getting that energy cleaned up to better that situation so when we um first you know let's back up just a little bit what exactly is a space clearing a house blessing what exactly are we talking about when we talk about a space clearing in our home so or any space as opposed not just our home right yeah right right exactly so as far as on the energetic side of things um a house blessing or a space clearing typically uses sacred smoke and that sacred smoke is found in multiple traditions and even in religious aspects um so if you look at the the Eastern aspect of sacred smoke you go to frankincense and my mhm they use it in the Catholic Church yes okay it's a sacred smoke to them they're cleansing the space if you come back to the States you look at the Native American side of things they're going to be using Cedar Pine uh white sage and sweet grass mhm Native Americans would use that the idea behind cleansing and blessing the space is that this energy will attach to the smoke and as the smoke leaves it carries that energy away okay okay yeah so I think a lot of people are familiar with like just the practice of saging a home but is there a specific way it needs to be done to be effective yes so what I'm wondering the the key to doing this and it's the biggest thing of all is intention you have to set the intention of what you were trying to do okay and there are rules that go along with it so for instance if I'm coming into a home to cleanse it and I want to release I will set the intention that I am going to release this negative energy anything that is built that should not be there I will start at either the front door or the back door and to help clear the smoke out I will open a few Windows through the house to get some air flow and start at like I said either the front or the back door and I will start out with our sacred smoke and we tend to do the traditional method with abalone shell the sage and the sweet grass in the abalone shell with the Native American feathers MH and I will start at the front door and I will go counterclockwise okay I will go to the left to release okay and as I'm doing this I am either reciting affirmation or I'm reciting my intention as to what it is I am actually going to accomplish for instance I may walk in and I may say anything that is heavy negative or has become ill attached to this house or to these people or to objects in the house you were not welcome here MH MH you were to leave and I will recite that affirmation now you hit everything MH you hit the corners okay top to bottom you hit the closets you hit the bathroom the shower the whole nine yards you carry that all the way around until you get back to your starting point and then you sweep that out okay okay okay to finish that you start again at the front or the back wherever you started before and you go clockwise okay as you do this you set the intention of what you expect okay in the resence so it's like you've taken every all the bad things away with the counterclockwise and the smoke and then the clockwise way you put intention into the home you want into the okay got it yeah so going clockwise you would go in and you would I would personally say this is a place of love and light and God anything you know only the highest and greatest good is welcome here mhm okay you set that intention and then you go back to the front as you finish and carry it back out the front door and then take a minute Center and ground yourself outside walk back in and you'll you'll tell a huge difference I'm curious it almost sounds like you're clearing demons or something how many times do you have to do it like cuz you said anyone that you know doesn't belong here are you like an exorcist kind of person no and the reason you do that is because like I said we we pick up things we pick up energetic things and we can pick up other things it just doesn't necessarily have to be energies okay people can actually have Spirit come visit in the house things will move things will go bump in the night um and if it is something that you don't want in that space you have to include it in that attention because you're not quite sure what it is so it's better to cover all your does it usually work the first time or how many times oh no usually the first time gets it really oh yeah that's good yeah that's interesting yeah yeah unless it is something honestly that goes into something that somebody themselves have manifested within the space yeah then it usually works the first time so if I had accidentally opened like a portal of demons in my house could you get that out that is outside my realm so I would need an exorcist maybe for that that's why it's interesting so where does your realm stop and and start really so for instance if you let's say you're a sensitive and you have gifts but you don't know you have gifts okay and you have mediumship qualities spirit will come to visit because they know that you can see or hear them they want to be seen or heard M so you may have those things going bump in the night but it's something you really don't want so a space clearing or cleansing will help get rid of that here just recently we did a rather large Hotel here and within 2 days their scores improved the employee morale did a complete 180 they could not believe the change within the energy and the space um the clients that were staying there as well as just the overall feel of the place I can imagine a hotel would probably pick up a lot of energy because people yeah you can't really uh yeah control or contain you know it just has probably needs to be done uh you know on a regular basis I would think in that case so yeah I think it's really neat that businesses also want to apply um you know different energies and stuff like that to their business so how do you make the distinction between I guess for how we said earlier that it usually works the first time is there something that maybe you when you walk through and see something like I don't know I'm just throwing it out here like a ulent they got from Africa when they went um things can be tied to objects that's what I'm saying so like have you ever had an instance to where hey I've I've done it it's I don't know I guess too powerful or this is just a NE like when you just talk about negative space and it doesn't have to be demons I'm saying but just negative energy I guess if you will to where are you telling them hey like it's probably just better to get this out of the house permanently right we have had that oh you have okay yeah so I that begs to the question do you get rid of the object and get rid of it or do you have to like put it in a case like Annabelle the doll and contain it you know is there some way to cleanse also the object if if you cleanse it and you bless it um you can use holy water in those situations but it's something that you would definitely want to get out of the house okay gotcha um so kind of going back I think um I know you talked about the sacred smoke and what are are some other tools that you tend to use when you when you kind of go in and and do the space CL so one of the big things that we use is sound uh frequency tends to break up negative energy okay um and that's what we actually clean our business with we use sacred smoke and we use sound and the sound can be in the form of high pitched Bells we personally use um sacred geometry which is a crystal do decahedron that emits a very high frequency very high sound and we will cleanse ourselves we will cleanse other people we will cleanse spaces with that uh along with that sacred smoke but frequency tends to be along with the smoke and affirmation or intention the best thing to utilize I'll raise that um vibration raes the it's it's a huge boost in in the vibe in the house it it it's amazing what frequency will do yeah I'm going to come back to that in just a minute I think that's I wanted to ask quick uh kind of going back to the amount of time when you're talking about uh you know people whether it's uh traveling or they have uh family or friends visiting uh Andor just stuff from work if they're bringing that home constantly I understand that you're actually doing the house but going to the instance that maybe they continue to bring it in what sort of is this more like I don't know an annual thing to where uh or unless you're or unless the customer is um experiencing something that you want to maybe put on something like an an annual thing I mean you can do it annually we personally we cleanse our space um we clean it every day to every other day oh wow really that often okay yeah can't just tell them hey whatever yall doing on the outside just stop doing that yeah but as far as like a home you know every two weeks every month you'll be able to tell you you can feel a noticeable shift and a difference from when it is done to when it needs to be done again it feels a little heavier it's kind of to me I kind of like it to walk into a room after an argument and you can just feel like that t you know you maybe you see the couple with their backs to each other or whatever the the tension with the knife knif so yeah um same same type of thing so um is there a good time to do it if you're going to do it yourself say you just want to burn some Sage you're going to Sage your house yourself is there a certain time of the month that's more powerful I know they talk about full moons and all that really any time if it needs to be done it needs to be done yeah you can do it you can do it on full moons you can do it on new moons um but anytime okay anytime is going to be the best nice you know kind of going back to what Bri was saying about you know how do you know what's out of your realm that's one of the reasons I had you on so um I myself don't do um you know I do funu but that doesn't make me any sort of uh I don't have any sort of expertise yeah in you know other than just burning some Sage you know I don't I can't I don't you know know about the tones I don't know about the frequencies and all that to probably more effectively uh get it done and so you know when should we call a professional when would be a good time if you feel like you need some help and when would you refer it out I mean I would refer it out when it is something outside my wheelhouse uh because we do that we have others that we work with here in town that we will refer out to in those situations oh right here in L huh nice okay yeah yeah we're hidden um but as far as when and how you kind of know um once you have gone down this path you tend to become sensitive to those things MH and you become sensitive to the energy and you become sensitive to that that's that's where the word empathic comes from um like you said walking into feeling that where there was a fight that took place you can feel that heavy energy and when we get into when we get into a house we can walk in and we will be able to tell you know that this is just stagnant energy like you within the fun way things need to be moved yeah you need to create a path and a flow mhm um or there's been a whole lot that happened here and we need to do a deep clean yeah okay but we we were able to tell and we tend to be able to walk by items or walk in places and be able to tell something has been doing something here that or somebody has been doing something here that maybe they shouldn't have been doing gotcha maybe something's been opened or right right and they've been doing things that they shouldn't be or have you brought any objects in here recently or have you been gifted anything MH because we do we do leave that energy behind it's another example I like to use is you know thermal imaging you can walk over with a thermal image camera and place your hand on the table M take my hand away from the table and you can see the heat left behind that is energy yes and it's no difference in any other thing we can leave energy behind on objects mhm and you go to a thrift sale a yard sale and you buy something mhm could have been to that person near and dear and it has a lot of their energy in it yeah and depending on how that person was in life now you've brought that into your home yeah yeah I completely agree that um objects can hold energy um I know that's one of the things with funu there's certain things we would look for if you're experiencing energy again um I would probably suggest more along the lines of getting rid of things rather than me myself going in and doing a clearing which again I don't generally do maybe you should burn it cuz if it goes in the trash and someone else picks it up now they have the problem well this is true that too yeah I know I I do hear there's different techniques for cleansing objects is that correct um fire and salt and I think water is another one that I've at least Seen On TV yes yes yes yeah there there's different ways so you can use water you can like we've talked about you can use smoke um fire I wouldn't do because you're going to burn it um if that's something that you definitely want to keep yeah um but water is the other one uh water is very cleansing the only difference with water is today after water has gone over 300 foot through copper pipe it becomes energetically dead okay got it doesn't do anything got so in that case you would actually want to structure your water mhm prior to use it in a cleansing or you could do water that has been blessed holy water something like that to actually cleanse that item um one of the things that we carry at the shop that we recommend to people is Florida water yeah um and Florida water is very cleansing and we have different scents that for Rose and elang elang and pachuli and sage and that kind of stuff that you can use it carries all those essential oils with it okay and you can use that to cleanse if you don't want to use smoke yeah gotcha and so I think that kind of goes back um to what you were saying Tony about um how do you stop bringing all that stuff in I think you can definitely use some of those tools like the floral water it's literally it was a cologne but it's all of the fragrances and if you can talk about that quickly Florida water so Florida water is uh it's basically all the fragrances that um are used in cleansings is basically what it is it's an alcohol based uh with distilled water and that alcohol is basically an emulsifier to break those essential oils down and that will be used to cleanse the space yeah but depending on which florid water it is like I said you'll have a langy lang which is great for uplifting the mood depression and anxiety if you're experiencing any of that in the space you can use that uh the palosanto and the sage palosanto South American uh sacred and North American is the uh white sage yeah I actually do a lot of remote consultations but they tell you when you just like you don't want to pick up energy you know you do you um either spray yourself with some kind of um cleansing or if I'm doing reading I've done readings at like I caranto and and white sage uh spray in the console of of the Jeep and if I go to some place that I feel yucky coming out of yeah I'll stand on the parking lot and spray myself yeah yeah exactly that's what we're we're uh kind of taught to as practitioners um there was one instance this I I went to a lady's house I didn't feel like there was anything bad here um again she was a local uh client and so I went to her house and with um there's some a few different ways in funu to kind of the hint you know if somebody's experiencing something there's some things we would look for in the environment um but the the funu Lan which is a advanced Compass um that we use to take readings of a home and and look at the energy in a home um the needle on that will actually keep swaying if there's a spirit there and that's the first time I was like this is so cool because you have a spirit here did she think it was cool well she she was like you know ring doorbell goes off cuz it was right at the front door shut her doorbell goes off uh the sensor will go off and nobody was there so she knew yeah and it was right there where I was taking that uh measurement so that's the only time I've experienced it but I did make sure to you know don't come home with me you know yeah I was going to ask well I guess you both that how do you make sure after you've done a house nothing comes home with you do you like get in your car and like cleanse yourself or what do you do yeah we do that before we leave oh really yeah okay we're Tau to stomp our feet and then um maybe some sort of aging or spraying and or alternatively um I know I've done where I've done days where I've done cuz I do also um card readings so I've have gone and done that you know for an afternoon or whatever and you just feel wiped out you know and so I'm taking a salt bath or you know the salt cleansing salt is Himalayan salt is very cleansing energetically yeah you talked about holy water where do you get that like do you do the blessing on that or do you get it from somewhere else so you can actually order it kind of funny you can actually order it directly from the Vatican oh really or you can go to local Catholic Church here and any of those they can make holy water for you they usually have a ear out front of holy water yeah I think I've seen that before mhm that's interesting so then you just sprinkle it in your house and or you can come get it from me I saw it yeah there you go really yeah I might be mistaken didn't do Catholic church because I'm not Catholic but don't Catholic churches generally they will offer like you can go I think to church and get it maybe I thought I might be mistaken so I think you can yeah isn't that what you did before you go into the church I thought yeah they usually have it on on Deck I think so yeah Absolut could purchase yeah and I'm sorry if I'm going off off topic but I like what you were saying about uh energy and transferring and like basically there's some things in life that we can't see so I know for the longest time I didn't think grounding was a real thing until I kind of got behind the sides where where is something maybe that grounding that you can explain to those who don't know on how just even the inflammation of the daily life could probably help uh when you talk about that kind of stuff okay yeah so the big thing with grounding um it's also it's hard here right cuz I mean you guys don't have well no I mean I mean you can do it here yeah yeah I mean the the big thing is to lose your shoes and get your feet in the dirt is the is the big thing and get your feet dirty go stand in the grass go stand in the dirt go take a walk Barefoot um and what it basically boils down to is a scientific aspect of it of the earth releasing electrons that our bodies pick up and utilize there you know basically boils down to the simple fact that we are 70% water for a reason MH okay water is the best conductor of energy sound that's why they use it as sonar you know um and the whole grounding aspect is to get back out into nature connect with the Earth and feel more centered and grounded and present in the moment in your body because we weren't meant to have shoes on all the time and then go straight from shoes to concrete and carpet even Native American and South American uh Indians all wore leather it was all natural material on the bottom of their feet you know when they did wear some type of sandal or a shoe yeah and so that allowed that grounding aspect so they were always grounded whenever I have whenever it kind of Clicks in my brain I do I do try to take off my shoes well they' got there there's a company called earthing that uh will create the they've made the sheets mats pillow cases everything yeah you can plug directly into your wall test with a GFI tester you're wiring in the house make sure it's grounded properly and plug them into the wall and you're grounded when you sleep oh wow there's also a company named Earth Runners that is making sandals that has a steel mesh through the braids over your feet that goes down through the sole into copper and so as you walk with these sandals or run um you're grounded that's pretty cool okay I like that there's becoming more options yeah um so since it's October want to come in and you know I thought this would be a good opportunity because I like spooky things like weird things um and so I don't I think it would be a loss if we didn't talk about you know anything spooky so have you ever went in a space and you're like it is off here or I'm unqualified or it's just something scary Z in here yes yeah yeah yeah several times and doing this for a while you're able to tell yeah this is something I can handle or this is something I cannot handle and when to pass the ball but yeah there there have been things and it is typically stuff moving you will see Shadows you will see things MH you will feel things uh and it is tangible and um not so much to the point of stuff flying across a room and being thrown at you yeah but yeah we we have seen the the Shadows we have felt other presences within the space m and if it's something we feel like we can we can tackle it we will otherwise we'll call in somebody who is more Versed and something like that and the reason I say that is my wife and I we work on the side of light okay and for somebody to be able to take care of something like that that is outside of our scope they need to be able to work with the light and the dark so now we're talking Shamanism okay so we go into the Native American side of things or the South americ uh practices where they can address both sides of it um where my wife and I consider ourselves light workers we don't delve into anything like that yeah does does it energy ever just does it just dissipate sometimes when I moved to my house which was it only had one previous owner um was a new build before that I used to weed to hear the lights upstairs being turned on and off like you could hear the light switch flick on and off right the light would be on on when we left it off and and whatnot and then we used to hear footsteps upstairs uh it kind of just disappeared you I told the kids just don't worry about it it kind of just disappeared so you know why why that happen sometimes that sounds like something that was residual so did the previous owner did they did they pass they didn't pass so yeah probably something come in or was brought in They Carried something in um MH and but no that's that's definitely something that is residual it was it was in pre-foreclosure and it was trash so I think even you know it was it was a whole situation and so we went in and obviously cleaned it up and you know and all that stuff like squatter BR something maybe probably a lot of bad energy I don't know I mean I have no clue we just know that we heard noises and stuff and yeah and then I just told the kid don't worry about it it's okay you know don't worry about it it's not nothing's bothering us it's okay yeah would you consider yourself to be a medium no me personally I do not have uh mediumship capabilities I'm very sensitive to energies um one of my gifts they actually call psychometry so it's being able to pick up objects or touch things and feeling the energy but seeing the people that had it and feeling what went on with it it's almost in a sense kind of a remote viewing so would you like to add any closing thoughts before we come to an end no I mean hly if anybody has any questions um and they would like to visit with us you're always free to welcome and call us at the shop um we carry everything from Tibetan to Native American to South American to um what we're all familiar with frankincense and myrr we carry all those items the sages the smudges the sweet grass we have everything that you could possibly need to energetically cleanse the house we have all the crystals and my wife and I we love to help we love to answer questions we love to pass on the knowledge that we have gained yeah uh to be able to help you all right guys I hope you enjoyed today's episode space clearing with Keith Graham hope you en um you know learned a lot I know that I learned um about you know the way we do it right so I might have to modify the way I do mine a little bit I do burn Sage but maybe I'll have to do it in a clockwise manner right so there are some things that I picked up that I thought okay I'll definitely Implement that uh when I burn Sage or do a little clearing in my own home so if you need to get a hold of Keith you know 4747 south of 289 here if you're local to the LEC area they do offer all sorts of energy work so maybe you feel like the energy
