“Clearing†refers to the process by which we bring our whole Being into full integrity with our Soul’s highest path and purpose. It means removing the energetic blocks and restrictions that may be inhibiting us on any level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
We’ve all done some “clearing†work at some point in our lives. There have probably been moments in your life where you were struck by a sudden deep understanding of your current situation, or an issue you were working on. Out of that understanding you came to a clear and conscious decision to make a change in your life. And, within a moment, a shift occurred. You may have been driving along in your car. Perhaps you were doing the dishes. But windows of opportunity opened, and your life was never the same.
Perhaps you’ve experienced yoga classes, or retreats, or meditation sessions – any spiritual discipline, really – where you came into your practice with an intent, a problem to solve, or something to release. And in the middle of your practice, you may have burst out laughing or crying with a sudden rush of awareness. A tremendous weight may have fallen off your shoulders and you went home a changed person.
These profound moments that change our lives so drastically usually go by uncelebrated. Even if we try to relate them to others, we can’t do the experience justice. But they are examples of “clearing†work. Energetically, there was a shift, and that shift resonated throughout your Being. Perhaps a negative belief or influence was cleared. Perhaps the door to a past life experience finally closed. But whatever the shift may have been, your life was altered from that point on. This complete shift may have been noticeable only to you, but the effects probably manifested themselves into your life within a short time.
To me, clearing work is at the heart of what I do. What good is knowing the spiritual and energetic story behind our life situations if we can’t do anything about it? Clearing soul-level blocks and restrictions is probably also what I get the most questions about from my clients.
When we take it all apart, there are three elements that must be present for clearing work to be effective. Whether we do the clearing work ourselves or elicit the help of a healing arts practitioner, these three elements remain constant.
The first is the conscious intention to resolve a situation or issue. An energetic block or restriction can often feel like we are banging our heads against an invisible wall. We engage in a pattern of behavior or thought over and over again, even though it does not serve us. In order to effectively clear a block, we must gain awareness of the situation and recognize that we are being confronted with an issue. We investigate, try to gain clarity. Some seek counseling or healing from traditional or alternative practitioners. This desire for change must be conscious, if only in that we want to stop this issue manifesting itself in our lives.
The second element is the conscious recognition of the root cause behind our situation. Whether on our own, or with the help of a friend, or a healing arts professional, we suddenly gain conscious awareness of what has been going on behind the scenes. And, usually, we recognize that we have been an active participant in creating the energetic restriction that has been affecting us. We must be ready to take ownership of the part we play.
The third element is the conscious decision to create change. This decision can take many forms. We may send out a powerful request for assistance through prayer. We may, in the very moment of new awareness, create an energetic realignment through our desire for a different manifestation. Or we simply decide, out of the empowerment that comes with taking ownership, that things will be different. In all cases, the shift happens. The “clearing†work takes effect.
The most critical ingredient within all three elements is the level of consciousness that we bring to the process. The power to create change lies within our conscious mind.
Most of the clearing work we perform ourselves is done on the energetic level. We clear away energetic residue from our past. We clear away self-limiting beliefs. To do Soul-level clearing work, however, what we are usually missing is a frame of reference.
We are not taught much about our Soul. If we’re lucky within our society, we come to the realization that we have one! We are taught even less about blocks or restrictions that can affect us at Soul level – and that these manifest themselves into our physical lifetime in a very real way.
The soul-level clearing work I do involves the same three elements that I listed above. My clients are usually consciously aware of a particular issue or situation in their life that they want more information on, and that they wish to resolve. What I am able to supply is a frame of reference that brings the issue forward into consciousness. When my clients understand what is going on at soul-level, their conscious participation in the process allows the clearing work to take place. Together, we can then frame the intention for creating change at soul level, and ask for the assistance of our Higher Selves, our Guides, and Spirit. The clearing work takes effect.
Gaining conscious knowledge around the energetic and spiritual root causes behind the situations in our lives is what gives us the power to create alignment with our Soul’s highest path and purpose.
Many blessings,

It makes so much sense to delve into deeper soul levels in order to understand the facades we portray. Many people don’t realize why they do basic things, such as why they make repeated choices, why they can’t seem to get out of a low mood, or a destructive mindset. Learning the grasp reasons behind emotions can be a valuable step to understanding other aspects of the self.
Yes, an Ahha moment, just recently, between my G&G’s was quite revealing. They let me see myself in a new life, apart from my partner, a way I could live again, enjoyably, and the freedom that gave me!! I also was given awareness how similar the roles of my Mother and Partner are to me. How I set them both in a place of authority over me as if I am here to please them both. If they agree with me, I am a GoodGirl, if I do not please them, I am out of line. My Soul has been hindered by these limits for all my life with my Mum and then I imposed them again on my self by lining up with this SO, who, always encourages me to call my Mum. How interesting to now see how both elements are assisting me in my Soul’s demise and have helped me allow so much depression within myself for so many years. Hard to just turn off a Mum or SO, both whom I so deeply love, yet, how much do I love myself is they seem to want me “down” so I need them? Thanks!!
