Clearing out the Funk

Living in Southern Alberta we get winter! And when we get winter, we GET winter! We find ourselves staying inside longer and avoiding the healing power of the outdoors. This often leads to, what I like to call "Steeping in a cloud of funk". As a Reiki Master, sometimes it is not feasible to simply open a window after a session where a lot of clearing has occurred. Windows tend to freeze shut when it is minus 30. So what do we do? I will take a quick moment and set my intention. Intention is always the key. Simply washing my hands with the intention that the negative energy is being washed away is often enough. A little sage and a prayer in my space afterwards is just as effective. I have some very special blankets that I keep on my healing table, I like to take those out and hang them on the line. Yes even when it is minus 30! If that is not an option, set them on fluff in the drier for a few minutes. Fresh air is by far the best remedy for clearing away your funk. I would suggest that even in your home, leave the front door open for a couple of extra seconds as you set your things down inside, turn your bathroom fan on if you live in an apartment and leaving your door open isn't ideal. Every time you have a shower picture that negativity leaving you and fill your space with loving light. Your intention is the key and it is available to everyone! The more you allow yourself to tune into what is yours and what is simply trapped funk, the easier it is to release it and the easier it becomes to honor yourself! For that it what all healing starts with. The honoring of ourselves. Perfect and whole just as we are. One Earth. :)
