　　9.Energy Of A Home
        　　Our homes are filled with energy that we create and allow to flourish. In
many cases, our relationship with the pulse of our homes is passive rather than
active because we do not pay particular heed to the energy that has been
established. It is only when we regard these spaces as unique entities that we
begin to understand why it is necessary to take charge of the energy that fills
our homes. Stagnant, inharmonious energy can find its way into our dwellings
through many avenues. Previous occupants, builders, visitors, and the
individuals who maintain a home leave a strong energy imprint behind. Objects
and symbols can also have an effect on the energy of a residence. When we are
aware of all that can influence the energy of our spaces, we are empowered to
create harmonious homes that do more than meet our need for shelter.
        　　Exercising care with regard to who and what we invite into our homes is one
of the easiest ways we can ensure that the energy within remains loving and
supportive. It is not always possible to keep potentially harmful people and
possessions from entering our homes, but we can take precautions. Individuals
can be kept from private spaces like bedrooms and meditation areas, while
property can be purified through cleansing or smudging. During periods of
remodeling or construction, Reiki symbols and other positive imagery can be
printed on surfaces that will later be covered by walls or flooring. Though
hidden, these will continue to attract good energy and cleanse the existent
energy. Blessings can also be drawn in plain sight, where they remind us of how
potently our home's energy can affect our own.
        　　A home can appear beautiful, comfortable, and stable while still serving as
a dwelling place for negative or otherwise offensive energy. If you care for
your home conscientiously and with great care, you will instinctively look
beyond the surface qualities of your home when assessing how it feels. Since you
actively guard your home against the intrusion of unwelcome energy, you will
have the time and vigor necessary to cope with it constructively when should it
appear in your midst. The spirit of your spaces will respond to your thoughtful
ministrations, nurturing and supporting you for as long as you choose to reside
within her walls.
