House Harmonizing Using Sacred Geometry
The geometrical proportions of the Solar Grid quadrant is the base I use for the harmonization of homes. When we apply this grid around a home or within it, according to sacred geometrical proportions, we create the grid of harmony.
In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, in expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the infinite and greater cosmos. These forms inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and their corresponding vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.
When working with sacred geometry in the home we go back to ancient Egypt and the study of the cosmic Harmony. Harmony's origin is the Greek word, harmos, which means to join. Harmony applies to both sound (music) and form (architecture.) The use of musically derived harmonies in architecture was held to be expressive of the divine harmony engendered at the act of creation by the word (sound).
The design of Egyptian architecture was based on proportion. Music is said to be geometry translated into sound. By the applying the order of the Solar quadrant we are able to achieve this wonderful sacred harmony within a home or business.
House and Land Blessings
Ceremonies are actions that focus our intentions and bring us more into harmony with the forces of the universe. They are a way of celebrating or asking for help. We all have our morning rituals, the morning cup of coffee, reading the paper, walking the dog or getting the kids off to school. Most people still yearn for rituals that appeal to the forces of nature and spirit, because in days gone by we worshiped that way. Rituals appeal to something deep inside of us and we feel better after we have participated in them. Rituals have a great spiritual cleansing effect on us and our environments, because they touch and inspire those parts of our nature of which we are not ordinarily aware.
All of our ceremonies are performed with the utmost integrity. We work with you to help you focus your intentions on whatever it is that you are celebrating, desiring to accomplish or releasing. We use the four directions and four elements (water, earth, fire and air) in our ceremonies, as within these are the powers of all living things, mineral, plant, animal and human. These energies help us bring rituals and ceremonies alive.
Ceremonies can be customized for any occasion large or small, individual or group.

What is Energy Clearing and Why Do We Need it?
Energy Clearing is a way of being. It is a way of using all of our senses to become aware of our surroundings and recognize disturbances that affect our being in a negative way. Energy Clearing is a process of learning to become familiar with different types of energies, to know them and be able to identify them. It is learning about the tools you need to work with the energies and affect a change for the positive. There are many types of energies that we want to become familiar with. For instance, we want to know when we walk into a room what the general feel of the place is, is it stagnant, over active, is there sadness, grief, anger, violence, are there energies that make us feel drained, ungrounded, confused or uncomfortable. We want to become aware of the energies of different types of spirits and know what these energies feel like. Becoming an EnergyShifter is becoming a detective of the subtleties of the energies around us. We have all walked into homes and businesses and felt like we wanted to leave, felt like someone or something was watching us or were immediately uncomfortable. You might even feel flu-like symptoms in places, or around people that make you uncomfortable. We sometimes decide not to buy or rent homes and apartments because we don’t like the way they “feel.” These are all reasons that we need energy clearing in our lives. Shifting these unwanted vibrations and emotions is what energy clearing is all about. Through the use of energy clearing you will be able to improve and balance the atmosphere in you home, business, workplace or wherever you may find yourself.
Energy moves through a house like water moves in a stream. In the same way that water can become stagnant in the corners in a stream, so energy can become stagnant in the corners of a home. This is because energy travels in circular, spiral movements that preclude corners. Purification is like clearing debris from a stream. It clears stagnant energy from the corners of the home. Energy also becomes stagnant because of illness, negative emotions, and emanations of the objects in the house/room or placement of the objects in the house
Energy Clearing is basically energetic housekeeping and is performed in much the same way, we would keep our physical bodies clean. If you yourself clean your house on a weekly basis and do it with joy and care, your home will sense this vibration and will treat you in the same fashion. We all love to come home to a freshly cleaned house. Every home, business, object, piece of furniture, article of clothing, animal or plant carries traces of the energy it has been exposed to, the energy of those who made the object, sold the object, previously owned or lived in the object. These energies are impregnated into the very fiber of its existence. This is known as spiritual energy or vibration.
Energy Clearing is a very effective way of clearing this energy out to leave you with a completely fresh start. Energy Clearing helps to produce more harmony in the workplace, which leads to better productivity.
Use Energy Clearing if sales start to drop. Freshening and revitalizing the space has a corresponding effect on the business. All Energy Clearing is designed to raise the level of the astral light of atmospheres in our own personal spaces and, in so doing raise the quality of life and the potential for success.
When Energy Clearing is Helpful
After a divorce or separation
After illness or death
To release grief or sadness
After acts of violence or anger
If there are Ghosts, thought forms or etheric patterns that cause harm.
When moving into a new home or business
To sell your home or business
Before constructing a new home
If things seem to be confusing around your home or office
To bring in positive energy before a celebration
Cultural History
Energy Clearing has been a part of most cultures since the beginning of time when we were more in tune with the seasons and the earth herself. We lived in caves, in the belly of the earth, and then in round buildings like tee-pees and yurts. Once we began building with corners, the need for energy clearing grew. Energy tends to collect in the corners of spaces. Years ago this information was common knowledge and ritually practiced. We all know the term spring-cleaning. This was the season to open the windows, toss out the accumulated dirt, scrub the floors and let in the sunshine after a long winter. This is actually a process of energy clearing. Today we regard some of this information as Old Wives’ Tales and, in fact, this is how I learned it. Energy clearing is an integral part of religious rituals, rituals appeal to our emotions and we feel good after we have been apart of them. The Native Americans used prayer and smudge to clear themselves, their spaces and their sacred objects. Sage, cedar, sweet grass and pine are just a few of the natural herbs that were used by different tribes and this was often determined by what grew in the region that you lived in. The natives honored all of nature the trees, rocks, animals, plants, earth, sun, moon and stars. They believed that we are part of everything in the universe and all was to be honor and treated with respect and most of all gratitude. The Celtic people often used salt, fire and herbs to keep there spaces clear there is a broad history of Celtic Shamanism and Druid Geomancy that was alive and celebrated for many years before the Goddess had to hide her head and go underground for fear of being burned at the stake. Paganism was a celebration of the Goddess of the Earth, a celebration of the seasons that we flowed through with the rest of the animals and spirits on the planet, we celebrated the Spring and the breaking open of the earth after a cold winter, the summer the time to plant and tend to the plants that would take care of us through the following year, the autumn the time of harvest and the beginning of going inward for the long cold winters and the winter the time to rest and go inward. These were all people who believed strongly in ritual and respect of all living things and we all have ancestors some where in our pasts that celebrated these seasons and rituals and give us the longing to do the same. We have all been denied our rights to celebrate freely our love of nature and our connection with her and becoming and energyShifter will give you an opportunity to open your heart freely to the Goddess and celebrate her once again. Indonesia is one of the few places left that is alive with Feng Shui and Space Clearing on a daily basis, they use clapping, incense and bells to keep there spaces clear and work a lot with the honor or feeding of the spirit realms. I Buddhism their are many rituals and ceremonies to honor the hungry ghosts, in many cultures the feeding and honoring of the ancestors and spirit realms is done on a regular basis. No matter what culture you come from with a little investigation you will find that your ancestors practiced some form of Space Clearing and Feng Shui as part of their daily lives.

Letter from a client
I wanted to post this email I received this morning from Lisa Shipley. It really touched me and thought it would be great for others to know that there is help out there. Also the referral to AKA: Skinny Bitch was a joke between Lisa and Henry
Hi there,
It was a great pleasure meeting all of you. What really impresses me about your work, is the understanding about the power of love , and how that energy heals the "lost"
Thank you for helping me understand myself , and my relationship to the spirit world, as well. These are all things I learned by observing your work
I would love to write a brief statement about Henry and our experience. You can also use the above statements however you wish for marketing.
Great work that you guys have done with staging also, looks like you had allot of great projects!
I will forward you my statement on Henry as soon as I can!
Thanks,
Lisa Shipley, AKA The Skinny Bitch
Imagine Home Staging
Here's the story behind the comments:
HENRY
We met the real estate agent and her home stagers at the “problem” house. A beautiful home, great location and price but the home had been on and off the market for over a year. The stagers had several encounters with the spirit while they were working at the house. The team entered and began scanning the house. We felt a pulling energy in the closet pantry in the kitchen and also a lot of violent angry energy in the downstairs laundry. There was a strong smell in the up stairs bathroom and then we found "Henry" hanging out in one of the bedrooms upstairs.
It turns out that Henry had been the original owner of the house and had lived there for many years, back in the day when he could hop on his horse and ride down to the local pub. He had died in the house and never left because he could not find his horse.
We ask Henry if there was anything we could do to make his passing easier and he ask for a shot of whiskey and a cigarette. The moment he asked the room filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. We all gathered a took a hit of some 151 Rum I carry for ceremonies and Tim grabbed a cigarette out of his truck, as he was coming up the stairs Henry said, "Hey, what's that you have? That ain't no cigarette?!" So Tim ripped off the filter and lit up. We all stood and had a last drink and smoke with Henry and he asked that we call in a buddy of his. We lit a fire of the high proof alcohol mixed with salt and waited for Henry to find the light and crossover. Before we knew it the flame flashed out and Henry was gone.
In the salt that we burned there was a heart shaped depression. I guess the cantankerous old guy did have a heart and he left it in thanks for the helped we offered.
As we were clearing the rest of the house we discovered that the man who bought the house after Henry died had done a huge remodel and lost the house to the bank do to some gambling debts. He had also been abusive to his wife. Henry had wanted us to know that this was not his energy.

Someone is watching me.
I was originally contacted by the owner of the quilt shop to do a clearing of a space she had recently rented for her quilting classes. It had been built a few years before as a garage to store suitcases in for a company who manufactured them. She told me that every time she went into the space she felt as though someone was watching her. I went with another person, as I often do when clearing. There was a lot going on in the spaceenergetically, especially with electromagnet fields (EMF). The EMF was the first thing we worked with and referred her to someone who could electrically ground the building. There were other problems in the space with some earth energies, which were also easily remedied. Then I began to walk the space, feeling the subtle energies along the walls. I came upon an energy field that extended way beyond the wall. As I began to trace it with my hand I knew that it was the energy of a tree. I put my hand into it and pain shot through my arm. I was somewhat unprepared for this. I began to clear the energy as best as I knew how. When I felt satisfied we were through, we left. As I walked out the door I felt a sharp pain in my neck, as if some thing had shot an arrow at me. I mentioned this to my partners as we left. That evening I had a group of friends coming over for our weekly psychic workshop. By this time I had an amazing headache and related it to the clearing incident earlier in the day. I knew that there was something left incomplete, that some how this tree spirit needed help and I did not know how to help it. We went through many scenarios of asking it to, “go to the light,” to cross over, but nothing was working. Finally, my friend Dirk, said that he would hold back the pain of my headache while I asked how can I could help. This worked immediately. I got the message that to help the tree we must assist its transmutation back into the elements. Great! Only I had never done this before. We all silently focused on the spirit of this tree, visualizing its transmutation back into the elements. After about ten minutes my headache went away and there was a feeling of peace. I could not wait until the next day to go back to the quilt shop. When I returned I knew that the spirit had gone and the energy felt calm. I phoned the owner and left her a message about what had taken place that day. She called me back the next afternoon in tears. She said that she remembered the day that they had taken the tree out to put in the garage and she had felt such sadness about the way it was bring done. The tree had felt her compassion and through her calling me facilitated its crossing over. This was such a valuable lesson for me to realize that there are spirits of all kinds here and just as people can die and not know they are dead so can plants, trees and animals.
I don't feel welcome in my boyfriend's house.
This couple called and asked me to come and do a clearing at their house. They had been dating for sometime and had decided to move in together. The woman had sold her home and moved into the boyfriend’s home but, she said she felt there was a ghost in the house who made her feel unwelcome. The man of the house was quite familiar with the ghost and in fact over the years had become comfortable with him. The ghost in question had built the house and died in the house and did not want to leave. Things had gotten so bad that when any of their children came to visit they would refuse to sleep in the downstairs bedroom as this ghost would rattle and shake the doors and move things to scare them.
The woman was especially uncomfortable in the kitchen, which she said she just hated because of the brick floor. Our ghost had been a mason and the house was made of brick and stone. We sat down together and began to speak with the ghost through the use of a pendulum and quiet meditation. The man’s name was Howard. He and his wife had both died in the house. Howard loved the fact that the man took such good care of the house but did not want company. After much conversation, Howard agreed to leave under two conditions. First, we would have a feast for him that coming Wednesday of his favorite food, rigatoni. Secondly, at dinner would we play Glenn Miller’s tune, String of Pearls, but the Benny Goodman arrangement? The following Wednesday I returned for the farewell dinner with a CD copy of String of Pearls by Benny Goodman. The woman said that Howard had awakened her the last two nights, apologizing for having frightened her. He explained that his wife had died of a heart attack in the kitchen and his wife, in fact, had always hated the floor. That evening we did a complete clearing of the house, especially the fire ceremony and after dinner during the playing of String Of Pearls, I helped this couple to say goodbye to Howard, It was very emotional and touching as the man had become quite attached. We all experienced the energy in the house shift as Howard crossed to the other side. The next day the woman of the house called and said she woke up and immediately felt that for the first time this was their house. I spoke to them recently and they told me they were considering getting a dog and that their children had come for the holidays and felt very comfortable there for the first time.

Can you help my son ?
A woman called to get a Feng Shui Consultation because she was having trouble with her son, who was 24 years old and still living at home. The boy and his girlfriend had recently had a child and Mom knew it was time for him to take on the responsibility. My focus at this consultation was in the son’s bedroom. He was sleeping in the line of the door with his right side up against the wall. My recommendation was to have her move his bed so he could see the door but not be directly in line with it and to make sure there was equal space to walk around the bed on both sides.
When he came home that night they moved his room around. Five days later she called and said that he had decided to move to the town his wife and child were living in.

Be careful what you ask for, Intention matters!
I was contacted by one of the members of the Portland Development Commission and told that he had recommended me to the developer of a large historic building in downtown Portland. The building was 100 years old and had served primarily as a storage facility for a newspaper company. It was being remodeled to become a high tech business center. The building was large, seven floors and approximately 70,000.00 square ft.
When the developer and I spoke the building was in the interior demolition phase prior to the rebuild.
I told him that this was a good time to not only clear and “wake up” the still energy in the space but to voice his intentions for the future purpose and success of the building. I was guided to do a Tibetan smoke offering to the spirits of the land, and so, I asked him to bring some flowers, black tea and votive candles as offerings for the ceremony.
We arrived at the site early and there were many construction workers on the site. All had heard of the event that was to take place and were excited to participate. We waited for the developer who arrived an hour late and with no offerings. He then informed us that he had to leave right away, before the ceremony began. As he left, all of the workers gathered together, went outside to pick flowers and gathered the other offerings that had been requested. I asked them to step forward and voice their intentions for the building, as the owner was not present. They all asked for safety, as this was a complicated job, and for the work to take longer than scheduled, as work around town was slow. We all went through the building performing the clearing. The workers drummed, and chanted their intentions through the seven floors.
Several months later I spoke with the developer to find out what, if anything had happened. He said there had been many delays and the only good thing was that there had not been one injury at the site. I was proud that the workers intentions had come to fruition.
